Research led by the University of Michigan has arrived at a surprisingly unsurprising result while assessing the sustainability gap between public transit and services like Uber and Lyft, formally known as transport network ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. The technology could enable household testing for arsenic, empowering ...

What if you could break apart a network like grating cheese—isolating its most crucial elements, fragmenting it into disconnected pieces to reveal where disruptions would be most devastating? That's the power of fitness ...

OK, we admit, we're a long way from a carbon-free grid—but when we have one, what's the most efficient way to use that energy to fly planes? This question is explored by an interactive tool built by a team of University ...

A home robot trained to perform household tasks in a factory may fail to effectively scrub the sink or take out the trash when deployed in a user's kitchen, since this new environment differs from its training space.

ANEMEL researchers have created a catalyst for water splitting that's efficient and stable, without relying on scarce platinum group metals (PGMs). The study, recently published in Energy & Environmental Science, reports ...

Engineering simulations often require significant computational resources and time, which creates barriers for users and can slow down project timelines. By using machine learning methods, researchers have discovered how ...

Quantum researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have demonstrated the potential for quantum computing to significantly improve how we solve complex problems involving large datasets, highlighting the ...

In a fascinating blend of technology and artistry, researchers present a study in PeerJ Computer Science, showcasing how humanoid robots can collaborate seamlessly with human musicians during live musical performances. This ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of assistive and medical tools, including prosthetic limbs. While these limbs used to be hard objects with the same shape as limbs, prosthetics ...

Although electric vehicles (EVs) present a considerable opportunity to lower greenhouse gas emissions, EVs currently only account for 1% of vehicles on the road in the U.S. One reason consumers have reported hesitation in ...

A team of engineers and materials scientists from the U.S. has found that holes of a certain size and shape placed in certain locations can turn a slightly flexible and stretchy battery pouch into one that can be stretched ...
