Tech Xplore / Photothermal fabric panels could cut heating energy up to 23%
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have unveiled a tool to combat climate change, fossil-fuel dependency, skyrocketing home-heating bills, and gentrification all at once—a simple fabric treated with a ...
Tech Xplore / Producing rechargeable batteries using sunflower seed shells as raw material
A study by the EHU-University of the Basque Country shows how biomass can be used as an alternative in commercial batteries, thus making them more sustainable. The research is published in the Journal of Power Sources. Dr. ...
Tech Xplore / AI blueprints can be stolen with a single small antenna
From smartphone facial recognition to autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence (AI) has long been protected as a black box. However, a joint research team from KAIST and international institutions has uncovered a new ...
Tech Xplore / AI systems lack a fundamental property of human cognition: Understanding this gap may matter for safety
When a person reaches across a table to pass the salt, their brain is doing something far more complex than recognizing a request and executing a movement. It is drawing on a lifetime of bodily experience—where their hand ...
Tech Xplore / Diffusion-based AI model successfully trained in electroplating
Electrochemical deposition, or electroplating, is a common industrial technique that coats materials to improve corrosion resistance and protection, durability and hardness, conductivity and more. A Los Alamos National Laboratory ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic releases part of AI tool source code in 'error'
Anthropic accidentally released part of the internal source code for its AI-powered coding assistant Claude Code due to "human error," the company said Tuesday.
Tech Xplore / Molecular additive boosts silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell efficiency to 32.76%
Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are among the most promising solutions to source energy without contributing to air pollution. While most commercially available solar cells are based on silicon, ...
Tech Xplore / New memory chip survives temperatures hotter than lava
The electronics inside your phone, your car, and every satellite currently orbiting Earth share one critical weakness: heat. Push them past about 200 degrees Celsius and they start to fail. For decades, that thermal ceiling ...
Tech Xplore / Chip-scale light technology could power faster AI and data center communications
Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. ...
Tech Xplore / Solar energy could be key to making sustainable aviation fuel
A new way of making sustainable aviation fuel that could cut the reliance on used cooking oil as a feedstock has been developed by a team of engineers led by the University of Sheffield. The new technique captures CO2 from ...
Tech Xplore / Vibrations in your skull may be your next password
A team led by Rutgers University researchers has developed a security system that could change how people log in to virtual and augmented reality platforms by eliminating passwords, personal identification numbers and eye ...
Tech Xplore / Light bends perovskite crystal lattice, opening way to new devices
New types of semiconductor devices that respond to light could be possible using materials called perovskites, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in Advanced ...
