A new artificial intelligence system pinpoints the origin of 3D printed parts down to the specific machine that made them. The technology could allow manufacturers to monitor their suppliers and manage their supply chains, ...

Is artificial intelligence (AI) capable of suggesting appropriate behavior in emotionally charged situations? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the University of Bern (UniBE) put six generative AIs—including ...

Self-driving cars which eliminate traffic jams, getting a health care diagnosis instantly without leaving your home, or feeling the touch of loved ones based across the continent may sound like the stuff of science fiction.

Separating crude oil into products such as gasoline, diesel, and heating oil is an energy-intensive process that accounts for about 6% of the world's CO2 emissions. Most of that energy goes into the heat needed to separate ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and Google Maps' Street View images to glean more detailed information about buildings—such as their age and floor ...

A team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University (SBU) used artificial intelligence (AI) to help them understand how zinc-ion batteries work—and potentially ...

On Dec. 21, 2022, just as peak holiday season travel was getting underway, Southwest Airlines went through a cascading series of failures in their scheduling, initially triggered by severe winter weather in the Denver area. ...

Humans naturally learn by making connections between sight and sound. For instance, we can watch someone playing the cello and recognize that the cellist's movements are generating the music we hear.

Every day, millions of workers step onto construction sites—arguably some of the most hazardous environments in modern industry. Despite years of safety protocols, equipment upgrades, and training programs, construction ...

Perovskite solar cells are shaping up to be one of the most promising elements in the future of solar energy. Lighter, more flexible and potentially cheaper than current silicon-based cells, these photoelectric cells are ...

Solar power has long been a beacon of hope in our pursuit of clean energy. However, the road to sustainable, high-efficiency photovoltaics has been riddled with roadblocks such as toxicity and instability in widely used lead ...

Perovskite solar cells are among the most promising candidates for the next generation of photovoltaics: lightweight, flexible, and potentially very low-cost. However, their tendency to degrade under sunlight and heat has ...
