Tech Xplore / A little heat releases two fuels from a single crystalline compound
A team of researchers in India has developed a new compound capable of releasing both hydrogen and methane when heated at low temperatures. In their new study, published in Science Advances, the researchers show how this ...
Tech Xplore / Robot AI predicts future scenes to guide its next moves
A robot artificial intelligence (AI) system has been developed that can understand human instructions, predict what a scene will look like after an action and then carry out the task. Rather than simply translating instructions ...
Tech Xplore / When LLMs are trained on frivolous online content, they can get brain rot like humans do
As humans and AI models roam the internet, they encounter lots of junk: clickbait headlines, misinformation, hashtags. Research by Dr. Zhengzhong Tu and his colleagues indicates that this junk-filled environment could be ...
Tech Xplore / Next-generation hydrogen production with built-in carbon capture could deliver high efficiency
A new study led by researchers at The University of Manchester has provided the first plant-wide assessment of chemical looping reforming, an emerging hydrogen production technology that combines hydrogen generation with ...
Tech Xplore / Your car's weakest spot may not be in the car
A car is a computer on wheels. It communicates with the car manufacturer's cloud services, the driver's phone and charging stations, and when children stream movies in the back seat, data travels over the internet. All these ...
Tech Xplore / Non-noble-metal electrode slashes green hydrogen production costs, overcoming a key bottleneck
A research team led by Dr. Kyung-Soo Kang and Dr. Hyun-Jun Lee from the Hydrogen Energy Research Division of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed Ni/Co-based heterostructure water electrolysis electrodes ...
Tech Xplore / AI that reconstructs cloud-covered ground in satellite images with photo-like clarity
Satellite images of the Earth are not always easy to use. Clouds can block the view of the ground, and images captured with some methods look different from ordinary photographs, which makes them difficult to interpret. A ...
Tech Xplore / Switching languages can change a chatbot's personality test results
Ask an AI chatbot to complete a personality questionnaire in English, then give it the Mandarin version, and its answers paint a different picture. In tests of five systems, switching languages changed how strongly the responses ...
Tech Xplore / Flaws become reinforcements: Engineered crystal defects strengthen metals without changing their chemistry
Scientists have found a way to use defects in crystals to engineer stronger materials, according to a new study.
Tech Xplore / Team develops embodied robotic arm 'EmArm' with human-like touch sensing
A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an Embodied Sensorimotor Robotic Arm (EmArm) capable of whole-arm tactile sensing and adaptive manipulation. By embedding a soft ...
Tech Xplore / One AI model, trillions of variants: Breaking mass attacks on voice assistants
Imagine sitting in your home, listening to what you think is a run-of-the-mill advertisement or perhaps a piece of music you enjoy. But while you hum along, that audio file is sending a secret, malicious audio message—imperceptible ...
Tech Xplore / Mini brain organoids 'read' braille in key step toward biohybrid computing
Could computers include tiny brain organoids one day? The human brain is an incredibly energy-efficient computer, and silicon processors that try to imitate it achieve huge energy savings over traditional processors. Now ...
