Tech Xplore / What kills EV battery range? Real-time images pinpoint lithium metal weak spots
A crucial clue to simultaneously increasing electric vehicle (EV) driving range and battery lifespan has been discovered. A research team at KAIST has observed the exact moment of degradation in lithium metal batteries at ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid AI architecture could turn neuromorphic systems into reliable discovery machines
The artificial intelligence (AI) machines that guide the world can be grouped into three main categories: inference machines, learning machines and discovery machines. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are ...
Tech Xplore / People struggle to recall whether content came from AI, with labels forgotten after one week
From August 2026, an EU-wide AI regulation will come into force requiring the labeling of AI-generated content. However, a research team from the University of Bayreuth and Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland, has found ...
Tech Xplore / Buried oxygen reactions help explain why solid-state batteries fade so quickly
Although solid-state batteries (SSBs) demonstrate high performance and are intrinsically safe, their capacity currently declines rapidly. A team from TU Wien, Humboldt-University Berlin and HZB has now analyzed a TiS₂|Li₃YCl₆ ...
Tech Xplore / Solar-powered gel pulls drinking water from the air
Scientists in recent years have sought to efficiently draw moisture from ambient air and condense it into potable water using materials made of salt and absorbent polymers. But these materials, known as hydrogels, until now ...
