Tech Xplore / Thread-like electronics point to less obtrusive wearable health monitors
Imagine using a wearable device so thin and discreet that you'd hardly be aware you were wearing it. Now Tufts engineers have created flexible electronics that could do just that. Made of thread-based integrated circuits ...
Tech Xplore / Analysis of 380 trillion AI tokens reveals how the technology is transforming financial markets
Financial markets are rewarding companies that are well-positioned to benefit from widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) with higher returns, according to a new Yale-led analysis of 380 trillion AI tokens, one ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-fine bubbles tune drying ink droplets without chemical additives
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University studying inkjet printing have introduced ultra-fine bubbles into ink droplets and showed that their drying behavior can be tuned without additives. They discovered that the shape ...
Tech Xplore / A method to create fault-tolerant analog in-memory computing systems
Conventional computers process and store information using separate components, known as a processor and memory unit. Because transferring data from one component to the other can be energy-consuming, many electronics engineers ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers propose light-driven random number generator for image security
While security systems based on pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) have been developed to secure information use, they produce sequences that are not truly random and suffer from inherent vulnerabilities and security ...
Tech Xplore / Building out the quantum computing toolkit
Quantum computers lack useful functionality without the right algorithms to facilitate their operation. Currently, there are few simple, standardized operations, known as "primitives," in the quantum toolkit that can help ...
Tech Xplore / New catalyst could enable safer electrolyzers for clean hydrogen production
Hydrogen could serve as a clean alternative to fossil fuels because, when used as a fuel, it produces water vapor instead of carbon dioxide (CO2). This cleaner fuel has proved particularly promising for the creation of so-called ...
Tech Xplore / New soft sensor can turn touch into robotic action without electronics
Built from flexible, compliant materials, soft robots are gaining relevance for tasks ranging from minimally invasive surgery to deep-sea exploration but remain held back by a fundamental constraint. To sense their surroundings ...
Tech Xplore / New test measures how well humanoid robots handle real-world forces
As technology advances, more is expected from humanoid robots. What were once seen as gimmicks that could walk, if not like us, then close to it, are now pulling their weight and doing more work in places like factories. ...
Tech Xplore / Neutrons track lithium in working solid-state battery, revealing uneven charging
Batteries are part of everyday life, powering everything from phones and laptops to electric cars. Most rechargeable batteries use a liquid to help lithium ions move during charging and discharging. But this liquid can create ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired hardware brings faster, lower-power anomaly detection to AI systems
The brain's cerebellum doesn't waste energy analyzing every moment. Instead, it constantly monitors the world for the unexpected—and springs into action only when something suddenly changes.
Tech Xplore / Researchers build missing infrastructure to move AI between robots
Robotics researchers often spend weeks, or even months, simply getting a new robot up and running before they can begin testing new behaviors. Researchers in the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science have ...
