As the world works to alter the trajectory of climate change, most attention focuses on reducing humanity's reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Yet a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) is cement ...

Plants and algae make their fuel from sunlight. Perhaps we could do the same using semiconductors. A team of scientists at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) has now made strides in that direction. They discovered ...

To make batteries that last longer, scientists are creating internal battery structures that don't degrade as quickly as current designs do. In fact, the reason many lithium-ion batteries ultimately fail is that their cathodes, ...

It sounds like science fiction, but also strangely familiar: drones buzzing around, inspecting tomatoes in greenhouses, delivering your package or inspecting an industrial site. With all the talk about drone-swarms, development ...

Researchers have developed a memory technology that can store and retain data using almost no electricity by controlling spin states through temperature changes. The work, led by researchers from POSTECH and Chungnam National ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering and Qualcomm Institute have developed a more efficient, scalable way to handle satellite communication traffic, one that could significantly ...

Meta Platforms said Wednesday it's rolling out an "incognito" mode for WhatsApp users to have private conversations with its AI chatbot, a move intended to ease privacy concerns about sensitive information that users share ...

Carbon neutrality may come in the form of a battery. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are gaining traction in the energy and electric vehicle industries as potentially safer alternatives to the standard, flammable liquid ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed a new sign language translation system based on users wearing seven rings equipped with sensors. According to a new study published in the journal Science Advances, the technology ...

A Korean research team has successfully developed a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline and naphtha, achieving pilot-scale production of 50 kg per day.

Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body structure that resembles that of humans, could soon assist humans with various tasks in household environments, manufacturing sites, hospitals and other settings. While some humanoid ...

Imagine a surgical robot that could detect the boundary between a tumor and healthy tissue during an operation; not by sending images offsite for testing, but by quickly analyzing subtle differences fast enough to guide the ...
