Tech Xplore / Machine learning-based design enables more efficient wireless power transfer
Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems transmit electrical energy from a power source to a load without physical connectors or wires, using electromagnetic fields. This idea goes as far back as the 1890s, when Nikola Tesla ...
Tech Xplore / Protection from AI crawlers eludes visual artists despite available tools, study shows
Visual artists want to protect their work from non-consensual use by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. But most of them do not have the technical know-how or control over the tools needed to do so.
Tech Xplore / You're better at spotting malware than you think, new study suggests
When it comes to cybersecurity, humans are often seen as the weakest link, but new research suggests that with a little help, people can do a surprisingly effective job at identifying malware.
Tech Xplore / Cybercrime study shows users respond to phishing differently based on their device
In recent years, the most common kind of cybercrime has been phishing, a form of online fraud. In phishing, an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text, and ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid chip enables two-way conversion between terahertz and optical signals for ultrafast communications
Researchers at EPFL and Harvard University have engineered a chip that can convert between electromagnetic pulses in the terahertz and optical ranges on the same device. Their integrated design could enable the development ...
Tech Xplore / Medium-voltage circuit breaker unlocks electricity abundance, savings
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are breaking technical barriers with faster circuit breakers to enable and protect the modern electric grid. The ORNL team developed medium-voltage circuit ...
Tech Xplore / Topological approach detects adversarial attacks in multimodal AI systems
New vulnerabilities have emerged with the rapid advancement and adoption of multimodal foundational AI models, significantly expanding the potential for cybersecurity attacks. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory ...
Tech Xplore / Muscle-inspired sheet-like robot navigates the tightest spaces
A POSTECH research team has developed a thin, flexible robotic actuator inspired by human muscle proteins. As thin as paper, yet capable of generating strong forces, this robot can maneuver through tight spaces and manipulate ...
Tech Xplore / Simple algorithm uses electron microscopy to predict lithium battery failure risk
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple yet powerful method to characterize lithium metal battery performance with the help of a widely used imaging tool: scanning electron microscopy. ...
Tech Xplore / AI models simulate human subjects to aid social science research, but limits remain
LLMs that emulate human speech are being used to cost-effectively test assumptions and run pilot studies, producing promising early results. But researchers note that human data remains essential.
Tech Xplore / Do more with less—reducing material usage in light-driven energy conversion
Researchers from the Department of Chemistry, National Taiwan University, have developed a new synthesis route for ultrathin photoanodes, which enables a 100 nm tantalum nitride layer to outperform much thicker films fabricated ...
Tech Xplore / AI search pushing an already weakened media ecosystem to the brink
Generative artificial intelligence assistants like ChatGPT are cutting into traditional online search traffic, depriving news sites of visitors and impacting the advertising revenue they desperately need, in a crushing blow ...
