Charging an electric vehicle usually takes about 10 hours or longer, and even with fast-charging methods, it takes at least 30 minutes. That is assuming there is an available spot at a charging station. If we could charge ...

Large language models are generating verbal pollution that threatens to undermine the very data such models are trained on.

Researchers have demonstrated how carbon dioxide can be captured from industrial processes—or even directly from the air—and transformed into clean, sustainable fuels using just the energy from the sun.

Research in the field of robotics has been booming over the past decade with a view to tackle challenges of real value to industry and the public domain. With new robotic systems appearing every other day, developing reliable ...

What started as a simple errand to deposit a check at a bank drive-through became the kind of "aha" moment found mostly in books and movies.

AI-powered robots have become increasingly sophisticated and are gradually being introduced in a wide range of real-world settings, including malls, airports, hospitals and other public spaces. In the future, these robots ...

A research team led by Dr. Minah Lee of the Energy Storage Research Center at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a chemical activation strategy of magnesium metal that enables efficient ...

Superfast, subatomic-sized particles called muons have been used to wirelessly navigate underground for the first time. By using muon-detecting ground stations synchronized with an underground muon-detecting receiver, researchers ...

An international research group has engineered a new energy-generating device by combining piezoelectric composites with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), a commonly used material that is both light and strong. The ...

For many technology enthusiasts, the metaverse—a virtual 3D environment in which the physical and digital worlds converge—has the potential to transform almost every facet of human life, from work to education to entertainment.

Traditionally, soft robots have been made using synthetic polymers, rubbers, and plastics. Such materials provide soft robots with long operational lives and stable structures, but may pose risks to the environment if lost ...

The performance and realism of virtual reality (VR) technology has significantly improved over the past decade, allowing users to immerse themselves in digital content in ways that were previously inaccessible. The technology ...
