Tech Xplore / Cracking in lithium-ion batteries speeds up electric vehicle charging, study finds
Rather than being solely detrimental, cracks in the positive electrode of lithium-ion batteries reduce battery charge time, research done at the University of Michigan shows.
Tech Xplore / Engineers create an energy-storing supercapacitor from ancient materials
Two of humanity's most ubiquitous historical materials, cement and carbon black (which resembles very fine charcoal), may form the basis for a novel, low-cost energy storage system, according to a new study. The technology ...
Tech Xplore / A CMOS-compatible spintronic compute-in-memory macro to secure AI edge devices
Edge computing applications, which entail the processing and storage of data at the source of its production (i.e., near where it is created), is now being applied to a growing number of technologies. The application of edge ...
Tech Xplore / 3D display could soon bring touch to the digital world
Imagine an iPad that's more than just an iPad—with a surface that can morph and deform, allowing you to draw 3D designs, create haiku that jump out from the screen and even hold your partner's hand from an ocean away.
Tech Xplore / Using AI to protect against AI image manipulation
As we enter a new era where technologies powered by artificial intelligence can craft and manipulate images with a precision that blurs the line between reality and fabrication, the specter of misuse looms large.
