According to the International Council on Clean Transportation, as of early 2024, there are approximately 40 million electric vehicles (EVs) in operation worldwide. Among them, verified battery-related fires in light-duty ...

EPFL researchers have engineered a fiber-based electronic sensor that remains functional even when stretched to over 10 times its original length. The device holds promise for smart textiles, physical rehabilitation devices, ...

A new self-healing polymer that is highly suitable for use as a flexible conductor in wearable devices and robots has been created by RIKEN chemists.

Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that map math variables, instead of representing information using abstraction with discrete binary values ...

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia Tech, the future of robotics is softer, smarter, and designed to help.

New research from Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science shows that the smarter the artificial intelligence system, the more selfish it will act.

In an ideal world, an AI model looking for new materials to build better batteries would be trained on millions or even hundreds of millions of data points.

Airplane travel is more popular than ever, and our desire for fast transportation means jet fuel has become a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

Researchers from the MIT Media Lab have developed an antenna—about the size of a fine grain of sand—that can be injected into the body to wirelessly power deep-tissue medical implants, such as pacemakers in cardiac patients ...

One year after the international Cybathlon 2024 competition, an Italian team has published a focus article in Science Robotics on the Omnia bionic leg, which took first place in the leg prosthesis race.

A powerful new database and economic model that identifies the most cost-effective strategies to reduce the carbon emissions from the world's iron and steel processing plants has been developed by researchers from UCL.

As anyone who uses the internet will know, the way we find information has fundamentally changed. For the last three decades, search engines have delivered ranked lists of links in response to our queries, and it was our ...
