Europe's oldest offshore wind turbines are now being dismantled, after having delivered clean energy since the early 1990s. These turbines have transformed offshore wind into clean power on land, but decommissioning the oldest ...

When a service encounter goes south, customers expect empathy. Hearing an employee say, "I share your frustration," can calm tensions and rebuild trust. But new research from the University of South Florida suggests that ...

Metamaterials are carefully engineered materials that possess desirable properties and can be used to manipulate electromagnetic, acoustic, or other types of waves in interesting ways. Some materials scientists and engineers ...

A research team has introduced a new concept device termed the Gas Capture and Electricity Generator (GCEG), which produces electrical power as greenhouse gases are adsorbed from the atmosphere. This innovation goes beyond ...

The stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz in the past few weeks has choked off roughly a fifth of the world's oil supply, triggering the worst global energy crisis since the 1970s. Beyond the immediate shock, the disruption ...

When assessing the ripeness of fruit, sight and smell can tell you a lot, but the best indicator is often how the fruit feels. Cornell researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft robot gripper that can ...

Researchers used the world's fastest supercomputer for open science to train an artificial intelligence model that captures magnetic turbulence within a plasma in unprecedented detail. Results from the model, trained on the ...

American AI developer Anthropic plans to "lay the risks out on the table" even as it restricts deployment of a new model dubbed Mythos, whose powerful cybersecurity capabilities raise stark questions for companies and governments.

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Prof. Sung-Hoon Ahn of the Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed, for the first time in the world, an "interference acoustic ...

As wind and solar power expand rapidly worldwide, researchers are confronting a growing challenge: how to effectively integrate them into the power grid. Wind turbines and solar panels have what economists call zero marginal ...

A Korean research team has developed a two-electrode-based real-time diagnostic technology capable of precisely analyzing the causes of performance degradation in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) systems ...

Fusion power plants are sites at which electricity could be generated via a process known as nuclear fusion, which entails the merging of two atomic nuclei into a single heavier nucleus. This process is known to generate ...
