Tech Xplore / Holographic light engine boosts tissue-like 3D printing efficiency by 70 times
In 2025, EPFL scientists published an improved approach to tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM): a 3D printing method that uses laser light to harden a rotating vial of photosensitive resin into a desired ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic collective flows like matter, adapting without centralized control
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes, and adapts to its environment without centralized control. The system, called the Cross-Link ...
Tech Xplore / Why the US EV battery supply still depends on imports despite domestic mining push
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows in the United States and globally, the demand for EV batteries and their critical materials—such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite—is expected to surge dramatically. This makes ...
Tech Xplore / Technology usually creates jobs for young, skilled workers. Will AI do the same?
At any given time, technology does two things to employment: It replaces traditional jobs, and it creates new lines of work. Machines replace farmers, but enable, say, aeronautical engineers to exist. So, if tech creates ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers discover novel IT attacks—the defense mechanism is already operational
Researchers at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Information Security have developed a new security standard to counter a novel form of cyberattack—one they had previously identified themselves. The attacks specifically ...
Tech Xplore / AI system spots fake reviews with 93% accuracy on Amazon, 91% on Yelp
Online shoppers could one day face fewer misleading fake reviews thanks to a newly tested AI-powered detection system developed by researchers at the University of East London.
Tech Xplore / Why steel decisions before 2030 matter: Early coal exit could save $800 billion
Investing before 2030 to pivot away from coal in steel production is now 53%, or roughly 800 billion US dollars cheaper than what it would cost to reduce the same amount of emissions later on in other parts of the economy ...
Tech Xplore / AI assistants can accelerate scientific discoveries by helping design and interpret experiments
Two artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can assist throughout multiple processes involved in scientific research—such as generating hypotheses, designing experiments, and analyzing data—are presented in Nature.
Tech Xplore / AI system automates scientific software design, outperforming human-written code in key benchmarks
A research team at Google co-led by Michael Brenner, Catalyst Professor of Applied Mathematics and Physics at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and Google research scientist, has ...
Tech Xplore / Before carbon capture can clean atmosphere at scale, one bottleneck may decide whether it succeeds
In 2024, global average temperatures exceeded 1.5o C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This threshold was set as an aspirational limit by the 2015 Paris Agreement and was considered a line beyond which the impacts ...
Tech Xplore / Watching the detectors: Researchers probe efficacy—and danger—of AI detection tools
Patrick Traynor, Ph.D., has questions. When the professor and interim chair of the University of Florida Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering saw reports in the media positing that scientific literature ...
Tech Xplore / Google announces slew of AI advances, including a personal AI assistant coming soon
Google will soon unleash a wealth of new artificial intelligence-powered tools and systems, including an AI assistant that will help users by proactively performing tasks on their behalf.
