Tech Xplore / Scientists create world's first chip that combines 2D materials with conventional silicon circuitry
For the first time, scientists have created a fully functional memory chip only a few atoms thick and integrated it into conventional chips. This advance could pave the way for more powerful and energy-efficient electronic ...
Tech Xplore / Novel alloy withstands extreme conditions, could replace metals used in aircraft engines and gas turbines
A new material might contribute to a reduction of the fossil fuels consumed by aircraft engines and gas turbines in the future. A research team from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a refractory metal-based ...
Tech Xplore / High-performance supercapacitor made from upcycled water bottles
Lots of single-use water bottles made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) end up in landfills, but there's a growing interest in upcycling them instead. Researchers in Energy & Fuels report on new heat-based fabrication ...
Tech Xplore / AI tools can help hackers plant hidden flaws in computer chips, study finds
Widely available artificial intelligence systems can be used to deliberately insert hard-to-detect security vulnerabilities into the code that defines computer chips, according to new research from the NYU Tandon School of ...
Tech Xplore / Software tool shows clear advantage in water purity prediction
A powerful new software tool that can accurately predict the performance of biofilters used by the water industry could reduce the challenge of maintaining the purity of tap water.
Tech Xplore / US clean energy supply chains projected to fall short of rising demand
Under current supply chain conditions, the United States is on track to fall significantly short of surging demand for three clean energy sources—wind, solar, and battery—due to the scarcity of critical raw materials, ...
Tech Xplore / Advanced cobalt-based catalysts can boost efficiency in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and cut costs
With the rise of renewable energy and electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles have attracted growing interest. Prof. Molly Mengjung Li, Assistant Professor of the Department of Applied Physics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic ...
Tech Xplore / Is your bank keeping your secrets? New study says 'It's complicated'
Banks are among the most tightly regulated institutions in the United States, but a new University of Michigan study suggests they may be sharing customers' personal data far more freely than most people realize.
Tech Xplore / People-pleasing chatbots may boost your ego, but they can weaken your judgment
Most people enjoy receiving praise occasionally, but if it comes from sycophantic chatbots, it could be doing you more harm than good. Computer scientists from Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University have found ...
Tech Xplore / 3D printing method 'grows' intricate, ultra-strong materials inside water-based gel
Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process is mostly used only ...
Tech Xplore / Rechargeable magnesium battery prototype achieves stable operation at room temperature
As technology advances, the demand for large-scale and sustainable energy storage also increases. To address this need, researchers at Tohoku University have developed a prototype rechargeable magnesium battery (RMB) that ...
Tech Xplore / How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ammonia production
Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, used mostly as fertilizer, but also for the production of some plastics, textiles, and other applications. Its production, through processes that require ...
