Tech Xplore / Next-generation wireless systems can benefit from robust, low-overhead semantic communication framework
In recent decades, communication technology has advanced at unprecedented speed. A key breakthrough is semantic communications—a shift from transmitting raw data to conveying semantic meaning. For example, in image transmission, ...
Tech Xplore / Electro-optical Mott neurons made of niobium dioxide created for brain-inspired computing
Over the past decades, engineers have introduced a wide range of computing systems inspired by the human brain or designed to emulate some of its functions. These include devices that artificially reproduce the behavior of ...
Tech Xplore / AI prescribes new electrolyte additive combinations for enhanced battery performance
Batteries, like humans, require medicine to function at their best. In battery technology, this medicine comes in the form of electrolyte additives, which enhance performance by forming stable interfaces, lowering resistance ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers find evidence suggesting ChatGPT influences how we speak
Within five days of ChatGPT's release in 2022, the artificial intelligence chatbot gained more than a million users. Today, more than half of all adults under age 30 and nearly half of adults ages 30–49 say they've used ...
Tech Xplore / A new dopant-pairing strategy can boost the stability of cathodes for lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), rechargeable batteries that move lithium ions between the anode (i.e., negative electrode) and cathode (i.e., positive electrode), are used to power most portable electronics on the market today. ...
Tech Xplore / Can large language models figure out the real world? New metric measures AI's predictive power
In the 17th century, German astronomer Johannes Kepler figured out the laws of motion that made it possible to accurately predict where our solar system's planets would appear in the sky as they orbit the sun. But it wasn't ...
Tech Xplore / Pre-fatigue training technique doubles the performance of high-strength steel
A NIMS research team has discovered that the fatigue limit of steel is improved by prior cyclic deformation (fatigue) training. Based on this finding, the research team developed a novel pre-fatigue training technique, which ...
Tech Xplore / Study says AI chatbots need to fix suicide response, as family sues over ChatGPT role in boy's death
A study of how three popular artificial intelligence chatbots respond to queries about suicide found that they generally avoid answering questions that pose the highest risk to the user, such as for specific how-to guidance. ...
Tech Xplore / Coin-sized device uses nut waste and drops of water to generate green energy
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed an inexpensive device that generates enough electricity to power a calculator using only waste walnut shells and drops of water. Their work is published in the journal ...
Tech Xplore / AI detects defects in smart factory manufacturing processes even when conditions change
Recently, defect detection systems using artificial intelligence (AI) sensor data have been installed in smart factory manufacturing sites. However, when the manufacturing process changes due to machine replacement or variations ...
Tech Xplore / Defect engineering can improve reliability of thermoelectrics for high-performance generators
A research team from Skoltech, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, N.M. Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics RAS, and other scientific organizations has studied the effect of various types of defects on the mechanical ...
Tech Xplore / Meta's new ultra-thin flat-panel display could change the future of screens
Meta has developed a new flat ultra-thin panel laser display that could lead to lighter, more immersive augmented reality (AR) glasses and improve the picture quality of smartphones, tablets and televisions. The new display ...
