How do you create a robot that can go places no one has ever seen before—on its own, without real-time human input? A team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory that's creating a snake-like robot for traversing extreme terrain ...

New research at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis is the first to show that a solid-state electrolyte has a high level of similarity to liquid electrolytes, which is good news for designing ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, say ChatGPT has memorized a large number of copyrighted works and that inclusion of such data can introduce bias to analytics conducted with OpenAI models.

While artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools are now commonly used to enhance technological applications, the underpinnings of many of these tools are hard to decipher. This is because most of them are based ...

In a new study in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers Bojian Yin and Sander Bohté from the HBP partner Dutch National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) demonstrate a significant step towards ...

The cost to secure thousands of inactive oil and gas wells in the US Gulf of Mexico could top $30 billion, according to research published Monday weighing potential environmental damage against the estimated price tag.

Solar energy is at the forefront of the global shift toward producing sustainable energy sources and addressing energy poverty. However, the intermittent nature of solar energy limits its use for applications such as IoT ...

You may not have heard of piezoelectric materials, but odds are, you have benefitted from them.

A team led by Prof. Song Li from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed the concept of intercalant-induced V t2g orbital occupation and developed an NH4+-intercalated ...

As hydrogen inside fuel cells can generate electrical power, scalable methods to reliably split water into hydrogen and oxygen could have valuable implications for the energy industry. These methods could help to produce ...

Researchers have created atomically thin artificial neurons capable of processing both light and electric signals for computing. The material enables the simultaneous existence of separate feedforward and feedback paths within ...

There seems to be no end to predictions of storm clouds when computers eventually decide to take matters into their own hands (or should we say, their own processors).
