A Carnegie Mellon University research team has developed a pioneering technology that manipulates thermal radiation with the precision of pixels. The work, published in Science Advances, outlines a method for "digitizing ...
Tech Xplore / Cracking the code of hypersonic flight: A decade of experiments maps turbulent physics of ultra-fast travel
From the heartbreak of an early flight failure to a resounding triumph over the Norwegian Sea, the Boundary Layer Transition and Turbulence (BOLT) Program spent nearly a decade launching rockets into the atmosphere, to investigate ...
Tech Xplore / Why this low-voltage laser platform could reshape AR, VR and holographic displays
A new class of laser emission technology enabling ultra-high color purity and continuous spectral tunability at low voltage has been developed, marking a significant advance beyond conventional display light sources.
Tech Xplore / Design tweaks promote responsible AI use for environmental protection, research shows
Artificial intelligence systems that ask users to pause to consider AI's energy consumption and environmental impacts are likely to reduce unnecessary AI use, suggests new research by Oregon State University. The findings, ...
Tech Xplore / New reactor design produces renewable methane from carbon dioxide
An international team led by Penn State's Institute of Energy and the Environment Director Bruce Logan has developed a new reactor design that efficiently converts carbon dioxide and renewable electricity into methane—the ...
Tech Xplore / AI model could speed up and improve infrastructure crack detection
Every year, the spring freeze-thaw cycle leads to significant structural damage to critical infrastructure. Visible cracks in roads, bridges and buildings are the first signs and, if left undetected, can present serious dangers ...
Tech Xplore / Team identifies where renewable hydrogen delivers the greatest social benefit
Renewable electrolytic hydrogen produced by using electricity drawn from wind and solar sources delivers its greatest societal value when applied to steelmaking, transoceanic shipping and long-haul heavy-duty trucking, according ...
Tech Xplore / AI content moderation takes a lesson from economics
Spend enough time on the internet, and you'll likely encounter some pretty appalling content. Hate speech tends to flourish on social media and in online communities, particularly those with little to no moderation. Even ...
Tech Xplore / 60% of US teens have tried AI chatbots, 11.4% use them almost daily
As AI chatbots become increasingly part of daily life for American teens, a new national study documents widespread exposure to harm. While many use them for school, entertainment and support, researchers warn they may also ...
Tech Xplore / A South Korean startup captures workers' techniques to develop AI brains for robots
His head, chest and hands strapped with body cameras, David Park deftly folded a banquet napkin the way he has thousands of times during his nine years at the five-star Lotte Hotel Seoul. Each of his motions is fed into a ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum dot emitter delivers near-identical telecom photons at 40 million per second
Quantum technologies, devices that perform specific functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform their classical counterparts on some tasks. Quantum emitters, devices that release individual particles ...
Tech Xplore / What kills EV battery range? Real-time images pinpoint lithium metal weak spots
A crucial clue to simultaneously increasing electric vehicle (EV) driving range and battery lifespan has been discovered. A research team at KAIST has observed the exact moment of degradation in lithium metal batteries at ...
