Tech Xplore / Injectable antenna could safely power deep-tissue medical implants
Researchers from the MIT Media Lab have developed an antenna—about the size of a fine grain of sand—that can be injected into the body to wirelessly power deep-tissue medical implants, such as pacemakers in cardiac patients ...
Tech Xplore / Steel's carbon emissions dilemma: Retrofitting plants offers big cuts at moderate cost
A powerful new database and economic model that identifies the most cost-effective strategies to reduce the carbon emissions from the world's iron and steel processing plants has been developed by researchers from UCL.
Tech Xplore / Bionic leg's pilot performance spotlights its technology and the role of teamwork
One year after the international Cybathlon 2024 competition, an Italian team has published a focus article in Science Robotics on the Omnia bionic leg, which took first place in the leg prosthesis race.
Tech Xplore / The great search divide: How AI and traditional web searches differ
As anyone who uses the internet will know, the way we find information has fundamentally changed. For the last three decades, search engines have delivered ranked lists of links in response to our queries, and it was our ...
Tech Xplore / Literary character approach helps LLMs simulate more human-like personalities
After the advent of ChatGPT, the use of large language models (LLMs) has become increasingly widespread worldwide. LLMs are artificial intelligence (AI) systems trained on large sets of written texts, which can rapidly process ...
Tech Xplore / AI efficiency advances with spintronic memory chip that combines storage and processing
To make accurate predictions and reliably complete desired tasks, most artificial intelligence (AI) systems need to rapidly analyze large amounts of data. This currently entails the transfer of data between processing and ...
Tech Xplore / Beneath the waves: Floating solar panels are stressing the seafloor
Floating solar installations offer a tantalizing vision of sustainable energy—combining wind and solar power in the same offshore space. But according to new research, the seabed may be feeling the strain of such ingenuity.
Tech Xplore / Robots you can wear like clothes: Automatic weaving of 'fabric muscle' brings commercialization closer
The commercialization of clothing-type wearable robots has taken a significant step forward with the development of equipment that can continuously and automatically weave ultra-thin shape memory alloy coil yarn—thinner ...
Tech Xplore / Neuromorphic computer prototype learns patterns with fewer computations than traditional AI
Could computers ever learn more like humans do, without relying on artificial intelligence (AI) systems that must undergo extremely expensive training?
Tech Xplore / Artificial neurons replicate biological function for improved computer chips
Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and School of Advanced Computing have developed artificial neurons that replicate the complex electrochemical behavior of biological brain cells.
Tech Xplore / New algorithm lets autonomous drones work together to transport heavy, changing payloads
Scientists at TU Delft, the Netherlands, have developed a new algorithm that allows multiple autonomous drones to work together to control and transport heavy payloads, even in windy conditions. Drones are ideal for reaching ...
Tech Xplore / Electric vehicles outperform gasoline cars in lifetime environmental impact
After two years of use, lithium-ion battery electric vehicles (BEVs) result in a reduction in cumulative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions compared to fossil-based internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, according to a ...
