Tech Xplore / When every second counts: How AI can speed up disaster response decisions
In an unfolding disaster situation, quick decisions need to be made on how to respond and where to direct resources, to preserve life and aid recovery efforts. With the rapid development of AI, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) ...
Tech Xplore / First experimental proof of multiscale coupling in plasma has implications for fusion energy
Microscopic turbulence in plasma can trigger macroscopic structural changes. In complex physical systems, such cross-scale interactions—between different spatial and temporal scales—are known as multiscale coupling. To ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed fuel cells could reshape sustainable aerospace applications
A team of researchers at DTU may have cracked one of the toughest nuts in sustainable energy: how to make fuel cells light and powerful enough for aerospace applications.
Tech Xplore / Compact phononic circuits guide sound at gigahertz frequencies for chip-scale devices
Phononic circuits are emerging devices that can manipulate sound waves (i.e., phonons) in ways that resemble how electronic circuits control the flow of electrons. Instead of relying on wires, transistors and other common ...
Tech Xplore / Bird-like robot with novel wing system achieves self-takeoff and low-speed flight
In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired ...
Tech Xplore / Clever device drastically reduces the vibration from rotating parts
An EPFL Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering has developed a device that significantly dampens the flow-induced vibration caused by rotating parts, such as those in boat propellers, turbines and hydraulic pumps. His device ...
Tech Xplore / AI-backed robot painting aims to boost artist income
Montreal-based artist Audrey-Eve Goulet was initially uncertain as she watched an AI-powered robotic arm reproduce one of her works, but said the outcome was "really impressive."
Tech Xplore / Direct grid connection technology provides fast charging solution for electric vehicles
With the surging popularity for electric vehicles (EVs), rapid charging is a challenge as it requires power delivery exceeding 1 MW (which can power about 1,000 homes). Conventional charging stations rely on bulky line frequency ...
Tech Xplore / Two-stage framework reconstructs sharp 4D scenes from blurry handheld videos
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is a fascinating technique that creates three-dimensional (3D) representations of a scene from a set of two-dimensional (2D) images, captured from different angles. It works by training a deep ...
Tech Xplore / 'Drop-printing' shows potential for constructing bioelectronic interfaces that conform to complex surfaces
With the rapid development of wearable electronics, neurorehabilitation, and brain-machine interfaces in recent years, there has been an urgent need for methods to conformally wrap thin-film electronic devices onto biological ...
Tech Xplore / The AI model that teaches itself to think through problems, no humans required
Artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day, but it still has its limits. One of the biggest challenges has been teaching advanced AI models to reason, which means solving problems step by step. But in a new paper ...
Tech Xplore / Magnetic tunnel junctions mimic synapse behavior for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges to today's computer technology. Conventional silicon processors are reaching their limits: they consume large amounts of energy, the storage and processing ...
