Tech Xplore / Researchers identify the 'hidden energy cost' of AI agents for the first time
As the era of AI agents—systems that can reason and act autonomously—begins, the power consumption of data centers is emerging as a critical challenge. A KAIST research team has, for the first time, analyzed the computational ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers help close a critical security gap across AI platforms
An AI flaw that can be found today in one model could be quietly replicated across dozens of products and services built on the same underlying technology. Until now, the AI community has lacked a formal pathway to report ...
Tech Xplore / First-ever recycling spin-triplet excitons boost organic photovoltaics efficiency to 20.5%
A research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has recently overcome a technological bottleneck that has persisted for more than a decade. They successfully "turned waste into treasure" by recycling triplet excitons ...
Tech Xplore / Compact chip-based transceiver developed with ultra-low power consumption
Modern wireless communication systems prefer higher frequencies to meet the growing demand for faster data transfer. The 300-GHz band, which lies near the lower end of the terahertz range, is a promising candidate for future ...
Tech Xplore / Flawed chip reliability tests may misjudge insulators' lifetimes, new method suggests
Microelectronics is currently undergoing major changes: The industry is working on promising new materials and chip architectures. But this also means that novel electronic materials must be tested carefully to ensure that ...
Tech Xplore / Seven years of testing exposed hidden trade-offs in MLB's AI strike zone
Training artificial intelligence to enforce even seemingly straightforward rules—like balls and strikes in Major League Baseball (MLB)—is a messy, dynamic process that takes time and careful evaluation of the technology in ...
Tech Xplore / Why cryogenic sensors may switch to light: New laser moves data fast with less heat
FPAs are image sensors that convert infrared light into electrical signals to produce real-time thermal images and are widely used in applications such as surveillance, astronomy and industrial monitoring. Advances in cryogenic ...
Tech Xplore / New computational method combines modern density functional with adaptive algorithm to predict semiconductor properties
Semiconductors are central to modern technology. They are used in computer chips, solar cells, sensors, LEDs and communication devices. Before researchers make new semiconductor materials in the lab, they often test them ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered social media can subtly manipulate opinion at scale
AI tools used to generate, edit or contextualize social media posts can introduce hidden biases that spread through online networks and shape public opinion, according to new research from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) ...
Tech Xplore / How does superconductivity begin? Unveiling the hidden flow of electrons
Superconductivity, a phenomenon in which electricity flows without resistance, is considered the core of quantum computers and next-generation power technologies. However, the exact states electrons undergo before superconductivity ...
Tech Xplore / Robots can now 'see' touch thanks to a new color-changing tactile sensor
Engineers at Queen Mary University of London have built a new color-changing tactile sensor, which allows robots to "see" and touch in real-time. The novel idea was invented by Giacomo Sasso, a postdoctoral researcher at ...
Tech Xplore / A COF-graphene hybrid opens new horizons for lithium-sulfur batteries
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries combine the abundance and affordability of sulfur with an energy storage capability far beyond that of current lithium-ion technologies. Practical deployment, however, has been slowed by a ...
