Tech Xplore / AI education could be crucial in tackling rising voice scams
A new study from Abertay University reveals that the most effective way to protect people from AI voice scams is not through traditional warning messages, but by educating them about how advanced and authentic AI voices have ...
Tech Xplore / AI tool predicts building emissions from simple text descriptions
Researchers at the University of Bath have developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) tool that predicts the carbon footprint of buildings from simple text descriptions, giving architects real-time feedback on sustainability ...
Tech Xplore / New standardized wave energy prototyping method aims to speed converter development
Converting wave motion into electricity holds enormous potential as a renewable energy source, but a lack of standardized prototyping is holding back technological development. A research team led by University of Michigan ...
Tech Xplore / How an overlooked electrostatic force could drive the motor of the future
When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force." Positive and negative charges attract each other, drawing objects together. It is natural to think that this attractive force—known ...
Tech Xplore / AI is getting smarter, but not wiser: A new roadmap aims to fix that gap
A new study is the first to suggest realistic ways to integrate wisdom into artificial intelligence, to create AI systems that will be more robust, transparent, cooperative, and safe. Researchers from the University of Waterloo ...
Tech Xplore / A more durable direct air capture approach: Electrified mineral-based system resists oxygen and humidity
Many governments and businesses worldwide have been trying to devise effective initiatives aimed at mitigating climate change and global warming. So far, their primary focus has been to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide ...
Tech Xplore / Don't panic: 'Humanity's last exam' has begun
When artificial intelligence systems began acing long-standing academic assessments, researchers realized they had a problem: the tests were too easy. Popular evaluations, such as the Massive Multitask Language Understanding ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic wing inspired by nature delivers leap in underwater stability
Researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that can sense and adapt to changes in water to deliver unparalleled stability. Drawing on the adaptive movements of birds and fish, the wing senses ...
Tech Xplore / HFC electrolyte delivers energy-dense lithium battery that keeps running at −50 °C
A research team in China has developed an electrolyte using monofluorinated hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) solvents capable of achieving energy densities higher than 700 Wh kg−1 at room temperature and about 400 Wh kg−1 ...
Tech Xplore / Designing the heart of hydrogen cars: AI points to zinc as key for stable fuel cell catalysts
In the era of climate crisis, hydrogen vehicles are emerging as an alternative for eco-friendly mobility. However, the fuel cell, known as the "heart of the hydrogen car," still faces limitations of high cost and short lifespan. ...
Tech Xplore / Longer-range electric vehicles: Dry-process electrodes use a lithium film to curb early losses
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel dry-process manufacturing method for thick electrodes aimed at enhancing electric vehicle (EV) driving range while reducing battery production costs. Professor Won-Jin ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop pre-seeding strategy for improving inverted perovskite solar cells
Regular perovskite solar cells (PSCs)—which place the electron-transport layer beneath the perovskite absorber and the hole-transport layer on top—have limitations with respect to large-scale manufacturing and stability. ...
