Tech Xplore / Engineers find new method for developing stronger, lighter 3D-printed parts
Engineers at the University of Maine are developing a new method to more accurately predict the strength of lightweight 3D-printed objects. This research, conducted at the university's Advanced Structures and Composites Center ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists give robots a sense of touch with fabric that mimics human skin
Robots excel at many things, but having a good sense of touch is not among them. Whether dropping items or pinching them too tightly, which crushes the object, many robots struggle with these basic skills that humans have ...
Tech Xplore / Flexible optoelectronic device with minimal defects fabricated at just 90°C
Dr. Jung-Dae Kwon's research team at the Energy & Environmental Materials Research Division of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has successfully developed an amorphous silicon optoelectronic device with minimal ...
Tech Xplore / New AI tool learns to read medical images with far less data
A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool could make it much easier—and cheaper—for doctors and researchers to train medical imaging software, even when only a small number of patient scans are available.
Tech Xplore / Experts outline evidence-based strategies for responsible AI policy development
As policymakers in the U.S. and globally consider how to govern artificial intelligence technology, Berkeley researchers have joined with others to recommend opportunities to develop evidence-based AI policy.
Tech Xplore / New strategy can directly pattern 2D materials into high-quality wafer-scale arrays
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, materials that can conduct electricity and are only a few atoms thick, are promising alternatives to the conventional silicon-based semiconductors currently used to fabricate many electronics. ...
Tech Xplore / Freestanding hafnium zirconium oxide membranes can enable advanced 2D transistors
To further reduce the size of electronic devices, while also improving their performance and energy efficiency, electronics engineers have been trying to identify alternative materials that outperform silicon and other conventional ...
Tech Xplore / A thermodynamic approach to machine learning: How optimal transport theory can improve generative models
Joint research led by Sosuke Ito of the University of Tokyo has shown that nonequilibrium thermodynamics, a branch of physics that deals with constantly changing systems, explains why optimal transport theory, a mathematical ...
Tech Xplore / Light-sensitive materials mimic synapses in the brain
An interdisciplinary research team has engineered a new class of organic photoelectrochemical transistors (OPECTs). These tiny devices can convert light into electrical signals and mimic the behavior of synapses in the brain. ...
Tech Xplore / AI can help you die by suicide if you ask the right way, researchers say
Most of the companies behind large language models like ChatGPT claim to have guardrails in place for understandable reasons. They wouldn't want their models to, hypothetically, offer instructions to users on how to hurt ...
Tech Xplore / Flexible perovskite cells enable efficient solar harvesting even in high humidity
The Energy & Environment Materials Research Division of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), led by Dr. Dong-chan Lim and Dr. So-yeon Kim, has developed a highly durable flexible perovskite solar cell material ...
Tech Xplore / AI tool transforms drone images into instant disaster area maps for responders
A tool developed at Texas A&M University is set to transform how emergency responders assess damage after disasters. The technology, known as CLARKE (Computer vision and Learning for Analysis of Roads and Key Edifices), uses ...
