Tech Xplore / With machine learning, researchers embrace the atomic-scale complexity of batteries
For grid-scale energy storage and national energy resilience, the U.S. needs better batteries. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists are tackling that challenge in many ways, but one approach is making ...
Tech Xplore / This AI tool doesn't just speak languages—it invents them
Artificial intelligence isn't just capable of translating between existing languages—it can also create entirely new ones.
Tech Xplore / Researchers mimicked bird bones to create lightweight, high-performance structures
Using bird bone structure as inspiration, Xin Ning and Sepideh Ebad Sichani, Ph.D. '26, have created a new class of aircraft wing structures—unbound by traditional designs of ribs, spars and stiffeners. The researchers are ...
Tech Xplore / Daydreaming algorithm helps AI remember what matters
During the day, our brain acquires new memories; at night, during sleep, it consolidates the important ones and eliminates the useless ones. A similar principle has been applied to Hopfield networks, one of the classic models ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop key technology to make personalized AI safer
The era of building "personalized AI" by training AI models on individual or corporate documents and data is beginning. However, while such customization can improve task performance, it can also weaken a model's existing ...
Tech Xplore / AI remains unreliable as one-size-fits-all code security tool, comparison finds
For a paper published in the International Journal of Applied Cryptography, a team compared 11 leading large language models (LLMs) for software security. They found that no single system consistently outperforms its rivals ...
Tech Xplore / Lower printing temperatures cut defects in aluminum 3D-printed parts, study finds
Scientists at The University of Manchester have uncovered how subtle changes in temperature during a promising metal 3D printing process can significantly affect the quality of aluminum components.
Tech Xplore / Testing the limits of what's possible (and what isn't) with AI
When can we trust the results we get from AI, and when is learning impossible? Researchers have shown that there are some problems that even the most powerful AI cannot reliably solve, no matter how much data it is given.
Tech Xplore / AI agents create virtual playgrounds to help robots get crucial training data
Robots walking down the street, surrounded by astounded onlookers, are an increasingly common sight. But these machines aren't yet the do-it-all assistants you'd want working in a kitchen or factory, and a major bottleneck ...
Tech Xplore / Stable from unstable: Beam holds steady only in 20-millisecond timing window
A new discovery in physics could help engineers stabilize robots and structures without relying on complex sensors and control systems, and design metamaterials and network systems that are currently beyond reach.
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop AI system to speed satellite tracking of wildfires
A new artificial intelligence system developed by West Virginia University engineers could help firefighters respond to wildfires sooner by enabling satellites to detect blazes and automatically adjust their positions for ...
Tech Xplore / Customized EV charging targets could lower EU energy costs by 2050, model finds
Researchers from Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) have developed a European energy system model that pits two technologies against each other—future unidirectional smart charging (V1G) and vehicle-to-grid ...
