University of Toronto Engineering researchers have discovered a new way of capturing carbon directly from the air—one that could offer significant cost savings over current methods.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a tool to automate tasks and replace humans, but new research from Swansea University challenges this view, showing that AI can also act as a creative, engaging and inspiring ...

Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate "biohybrid robots" made from both living tissue ...

A team of Korean scientists has developed a separator technology that dramatically reduces the explosion risk of lithium batteries while doubling their lifespan. Like an ultra-thin bulletproof vest protecting both sides, ...

An international team of scientists, led by Olaf Scholten, professor of astrophysics at the University of Groningen, has observed radio wave emissions originating from a commercial airliner, most likely caused by the discharge ...

Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University.

An international team of researchers has unveiled a spacecraft attitude control system that can guarantee precise stabilization and maneuvering within a predefined time, even under extreme and unpredictable space disturbances.

Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart sensing tag that measures temperature and humidity in real time—and can also detect whether a temperature threshold has been exceeded. In the future, this ...

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini were originally designed to work with text only. Today, they have evolved into systems that can work with many types of information at once (multimodal systems), as ...

In most industries, maintenance is a waiting game. Things are fixed when they break. But in the 21st century, an age defined by data and automation, that approach no longer makes sense. The solution could be predictive maintenance. ...

A research team developed a 3D Smart Building Energy-saving device capable of automatically controlling heating and cooling without electricity or an external power source.

To make autonomous vehicles as safe, affordable and competitive as possible, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have teamed up with partners from the automotive industry to develop a centralized architecture ...
