Tech Xplore / Safer lithium-ion battery design prevents thermal runaway that can cause fires
Conventional lithium-ion batteries are known to present a fire risk, and can even cause explosions in certain cases. The widespread usage of lithium-ion batteries, in everything from electric vehicles to electric toothbrushes, ...
Tech Xplore / Is your ultra-HD TV worth it? Scientists measure the resolution limit of the human eye
Is your ultra-high-definition television really worth it? Do you need a 4K or an 8K screen to get the best viewing experience at home?
Tech Xplore / Beyond electronics: Optical system performs feature extraction with unprecedented low latency
Many modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as surgical robotics and real-time financial trading, depend on the ability to quickly extract key features from streams of raw data. This process is currently bottlenecked ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists propose carbon-neutral data centers in space
An out-of-this-world idea: Placing data centers in space could pave the way for sustainable computing with unlimited solar energy and free cooling, say scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore). ...
Tech Xplore / Computer scientists build AI tool to spot risky and unenforceable contract terms
Contracts written by employers and landlords often result in second parties—employees and tenants—facing unfair terms because these documents contain unreasonable or ambiguous clauses, leaving the second parties vulnerable ...
Tech Xplore / Bubble wrap bursts enable power-free acoustic testing
Non-destructive testing allows engineers to evaluate the integrity of structures such as pipelines, tanks, bridges, and machinery without dismantling them. Conventional approaches rely on loudspeakers, lasers, or electric ...
Tech Xplore / All-solid-state battery researchers reveal key insights into degradation mechanisms
Researchers from UNIST, Seoul National University (SNU), and POSTECH have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the degradation mechanisms of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), a promising technology for next-generation ...
Tech Xplore / Laser can transform complex semiconductor properties in single-step process
A research team has successfully developed a new technology that converts the conductivity properties of semiconductors with just one laser process.
Tech Xplore / Three-layer microfluidic cooling device can remove heat from small electronics more efficiently
As electronic devices become increasingly powerful and compact, they can generate denser heat fluxes, or in other words, produce more heat in a smaller area. These heat fluxes raise the temperature of a device and can damage ...
Tech Xplore / DeepMind introduces AI agent that learns to complete various tasks in a scalable world model
Over the past decade, deep learning has transformed how artificial intelligence (AI) agents perceive and act in digital environments, allowing them to master board games, control simulated robots and reliably tackle various ...
Tech Xplore / Isotropic MOF coating reduces side reactions to boost stability of solid-state Na batteries
In recent years, energy engineers have been trying to design new reliable batteries that can store more energy and allow electronics to operate for longer periods of time before they need to be charged. Some of the most promising ...
Tech Xplore / Double-layer electrode design powers next-gen silicon-based batteries for faster charging and longer range EVs
New research, led by Queen Mary University of London, demonstrates that a double-layer electrode design, guided by fundamental science through operando imaging, shows remarkable improvements in the cyclic stability and fast-charging ...
