SUTD researchers test a privacy-preserving approach that blends federated learning with cloud coordination for smart grids in future 6G environments.

There could soon be a new way to interact with your favorite AI chatbots—through the clothing you wear. An international team of researchers has developed a voice-sensing fabric called A-Textile. This flexible patch of ...

Federated learning is a machine learning technique that allows several individuals, dubbed "clients," to collaboratively train a model, without sharing raw training data with each other. This "shared training" approach could ...

A University of Houston scientist is helping reveal the world's weakest bridges—and how to fix them before it's too late. In a study of 744 bridges across the globe, published in Nature Communications, Pietro Milillo and ...

A perovskite solar cell boasting over three times the lifespan of conventional devices has been developed, thanks to a novel solid-state additive that replaces traditional liquid components known to compromise stability.

Researchers at Seoul National University have unveiled a thermal management technology capable of selectively implementing cooling and heating functions using a single material and process, without requiring electricity.

An EPFL study shows red light, like blue, causes stronger glare than white, challenging the century-old and globally used function that describes how the human eye responds to different light wavelengths. The findings have ...

In the global race to decarbonize, hydrogen stands out as one of the most promising clean fuels. But despite its potential to power industries and transportation without emitting carbon, producing hydrogen sustainably in ...

Rechargeable batteries are a fundamental part of today's technological landscape, powering everything from our personal devices to large-scale infrastructure. While many types of rechargeable batteries exist, lithium-ion ...

Researchers have introduced a novel technique that allows for the direct patterning of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials onto substrates without the need for complex processes. The innovative method employs an ...

Introducing X1: The world's first multirobot system that integrates a humanoid robot with a transforming drone that can launch off the humanoid's back, and later, drive away.

The artificial intelligence models underlying popular chatbots and content moderation systems struggle to identify offensive, ableist social media posts in English—and perform even worse in Hindi, new Cornell research finds.
