Tech Xplore / Nvidia launches Windows laptop chip for AI era
Nvidia unveiled a powerful laptop chip for Windows machines on Monday, staking its claim in the market for next-generation consumer PCs integrated with artificial intelligence.
Tech Xplore / What platforms need to consider when labeling AI-generated images
AI-generated images are widespread on social media. Starting in August 2026, platforms will be required under the EU AI Act to label certain types of such content. A study by CISPA researcher Sandra Höltervennhoff investigates ...
Tech Xplore / Atomic swap can improve phosphate cathodes for high-energy sodium-ion batteries
Most smartphones, portable computers and other devices on the market today are powered by lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. While these rechargeable batteries perform remarkably well, they are based on lithium, which is not ...
Tech Xplore / Photon-driven synapse advances low-power neuromorphic systems
Modern artificial intelligence systems rely on moving large amounts of data between memory and processors, a design that limits speed and increases energy use. The human brain works differently: it combines memory and computation ...
Tech Xplore / Wafer-thin silicon with millions of patterns redirects vibrations along predefined paths
Metamaterials—the term may sound esoteric to the layman. In science and engineering, however, this is an interesting field of research that has developed at a highly dynamic pace, particularly since the 1990s.
Tech Xplore / Dual-mode magnetic elastomer moves on command, vanishes on demand
The rapid expansion of soft robots and smart electronic devices is driving demand for materials that can not only move and adapt, but also complete their missions without leaving behind unwanted traces. As these technologies ...
Tech Xplore / 3D silicon circuits bring denser computer chips closer to reality
By stacking transistors on top of one another, rather than laying them side by side on a flat chip, many electronic engineers are hopeful that vast amounts of computing power could be packed into tiny spaces, all while cutting ...
Tech Xplore / Tabletop 3D printer cuts semiconductor 3D patterning from days to minutes
Faculty in the Cockrell School of Engineering have developed a rare printer as part of a larger project to speed up production and lower costs of manufacturing semiconductors critical to modern electronics.
Tech Xplore / AI generates full battery electrolyte recipes, matching top lithium metal battery performance
Battery electrolytes aren't just one chemical, but a complex mixture of salts, solvents, and additives interacting and reacting with each other. Artificial intelligence has made great headway in helping select ideal materials ...
Tech Xplore / Computer scientists clear a path to stream 3D 'volumetric' video
New research by Brown University computer scientists may be a key step in bringing volumetric video—video that can be viewed from virtually any perspective in a 3D scene—to computers and smart televisions.
Tech Xplore / AI and ultralow-energy lasers enable an ultrafast authentication system
The security of modern communications heavily relies on systems that can rapidly and reliably verify users and the devices they are using. This process, known as authentication, essentially entails confirming that users or ...
Tech Xplore / NASA's X-59 prepares for first supersonic flight
NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft is preparing for some of its most significant flights yet. The X-plane is about to begin a new block of test flights that will include its first time flying faster than the speed ...
