Tech Xplore / Next-generation database reduces AI hallucinations and improves accuracy by 78%
One of the greatest weaknesses of AI agents that read and understand vast amounts of enterprise data is "hallucination"—the generation of plausible-sounding but factually incorrect information. KAIST researchers have developed ...
Tech Xplore / Artificial synapse uses light-color programming for brain-like balanced learning
The human brain actively keeps "learning" in balance by holding on to what matters and letting go of what does not. Researchers in Korea have now reproduced this ability in a semiconductor device, using the color of light ...
Tech Xplore / Spin-orbit torque hardware creates random keys and reveals unauthorized access attempts
The information exchanged by modern devices is typically protected by cryptographic techniques, approaches that convert readable data into scrambled, unreadable code that can only be deciphered by authorized parties or devices. ...
Tech Xplore / Paint it black(er): A new way to make cars darker than ever
Scientists have developed a practical way to make ultra-black coatings to meet demand for trendy, luxury vehicles in China. The coating, described in a paper published in Matter & Light, is made up of a composite of carbon ...
Tech Xplore / New lidar system maps location, speed and material properties in a single measurement
Researchers have developed a new kind of lidar system that simultaneously measures the location, speed and material properties of objects in a scene. This type of information could be useful for applications such as robotics, ...
Tech Xplore / Slower heating lets atoms self‑organize into architectures that vastly boost alloy strength
Scientists have revolutionized the way metals are made by using lower and slower heating of alloys to control how atoms self-organize during material manufacturing. The discovery, published in Science by Monash University ...
Tech Xplore / Stretchable self-powered sensor delivers stable signals even at 668% elongation
Wearable medical devices that monitor heart rate, respiration and joint movements for long periods without battery concerns, electronic skins that sense external stimuli like human skin, and soft robots made of flexible materials ...
Tech Xplore / NASA tests advanced capabilities for moon and Mars rovers
A prototype rover built with a new design for tackling rugged terrain is helping teams refine capabilities that could one day be used on future lunar and Red Planet missions.
Tech Xplore / Ultrathin membranes could transform hydrocarbon processing by slashing energy use
A team of international researchers has developed a new class of ultrathin polymer membranes that can rapidly and selectively separate complex hydrocarbon mixtures, potentially transforming how crude oil is refined and refinery ...
Tech Xplore / Wearable glove turns data into heat and touch for more personal insights
University of Adelaide researchers have developed a wearable glove that uses heat, touch and physical objects to transform data into a sensory experience. The prototype, called ThermoPhy, was developed as part of a remote ...
Tech Xplore / Data center emissions could be curbed with underground carbon capture
Over the last two decades, annual carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. have declined significantly. In recent years, however, this trend has slightly reversed, likely due to the explosive growth of data centers. As energy-intensive ...
Tech Xplore / New battery management system makes electric car batteries safer and more durable
Just as an orchestra needs a conductor, a battery management system (BMS) controls the power storage of an electric vehicle. However, until now, monitoring has been based only on the voltages, currents and temperatures of ...
