Current methods of capturing and releasing carbon are expensive and so energy-intensive they often require, counterproductively, the use of fossil fuels. Taking inspiration from plants, Cornell researchers have assembled ...

A team of engineers and AI specialists at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an AI application that can design stable structures from standard LEGOs using text prompts. In their study published on the arXiv preprint ...

Researchers from the University of Oklahoma have made significant advances in a promising technology for efficient energy conversion and chemical processing. Two recent studies involving protonic ceramic electrochemical cells, ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Oxford and the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) has found that large language models (LLMs)—the AI systems behind chatbots like ChatGPT—generalize language patterns in a ...

Engineers at RMIT University have invented a small "neuromorphic" device that detects hand movement, stores memories and processes information like a human brain, without the need for an external computer.

When you pull something—like a rubber band—you expect it to get longer. But what if it did the opposite? What if it suddenly shrank instead? In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers ...

By combining topology optimization and additive manufacturing, a team of University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers created a twisty high-temperature heat exchanger that outperformed a traditional straight channel design ...

Artificial intelligence could be affecting the scientific rigor of new research, according to a study from the University of Surrey.

A research team, led by Professor Hyeon Jeong Lee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST, has identified the root causes of internal cracking in single-crystal lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) ...

Phase-change actuation has been revived for the era of untethered, electrically driven soft robots. Our team at the University of Coimbra have developed a phase transition soft actuator designed to power electric soft robots ...

Tuochao Chen, a University of Washington doctoral student, recently toured a museum in Mexico. Chen doesn't speak Spanish, so he ran a translation app on his phone and pointed the microphone at the tour guide. But even in ...

Thin film solar cells such as CdTe and CIGSe have gained significant attention due to their low production cost and excellent power conversion efficiencies (PCE). Nevertheless, toxicity and scarcity of constituent elements ...
