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 ...
Tech Xplore / Overcoming the barriers of hydrogen storage with a low-temperature hydrogen battery
A hydrogen battery that operates at just 90 °C has been developed by researchers from Japan, overcoming the high-temperature and low-capacity limits of earlier methods.
Tech Xplore / Robotic assembly lines gain flexibility as algorithm plans tasks, teams and floor layouts
Developments in autonomous robotics have the potential to revolutionize manufacturing processes, making them more flexible, customizable, and efficient. But coordinating fleets of autonomous, mobile robots in a shared space—and ...
Tech Xplore / Autobot platform uses machine learning to rapidly find best ways to make advanced materials
A research team led by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has built and successfully demonstrated an automated experimentation platform to optimize the fabrication of advanced ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny manganese tweak results in material with record-high thermoelectric performance
QUT researchers have developed a new material that achieves record-high thermoelectric performance, paving the way for more efficient conversion of waste heat into clean electricity.
Tech Xplore / Pioneering recipe for conductive plastics paves way for human bodies to go online
It's moldable, biocompatible and glitters like gold. Plastic that can conduct an electric charge is a material that can be used for everything from sensors that can monitor our health to self-cooling clothing or electronic ...
Tech Xplore / Rethinking train delays with quantum power
Train delays can cascade into stalled commutes, economic losses, and vacation snags. Scheduling trains is computationally complex, though: It can take hours or days to solve large transportation networks on traditional computers, ...
