Self-driving cars are often controlled by deep learning models that sometimes fail in unexpected situations. For instance, the car might inexplicably brake and block the path of an oncoming emergency vehicle. A human driver ...

Living organisms constantly adjust their behavior according to what is happening inside their bodies. Hunger can shift attention toward food, while cold can make finding warmth more urgent. These internal signals remain meaningful ...

A research team has developed a dual-molecule passivation technology that simultaneously improves the efficiency and stability of inverted perovskite solar cells. The research is published in the journal ACS Applied Materials ...

To create large-scale grid energy storage that is more affordable, powerful and safe, researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) decided to let a strong side reaction step into the ...

Modern computational tools let scientists explore huge numbers of possible molecules, materials and chemical reactions. But testing every combination in the lab is slow and costly. So how do researchers choose the best "recipe" ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) may have more to offer science than accurate predictions. The patterns it learns could point researchers toward new, testable explanations of how complex systems function.

There may soon be a new kind of artificial intelligence in town, one that uses a novel approach to thinking that could save massive amounts of computing power and money.

Researchers have created a 3D-printed electrode that could help make it easier and safer to store large amounts of renewable energy generated by wind and solar farms.

Researchers from the University of Warwick report that how faithfully we can build a "digital twin" of a human brain depends not only on computing power but fundamentally on how much of the living brain we can measure, validate ...

Two years ago, a new material was reported to have an unusually large lithium-ion conductivity. Now, Nagoya University researchers have uncovered why it works so well and attained its record-high room temperature conductivity ...

"Micromixer" might just sound like a fancy name for a tiny blender, but mixing liquids at the microliter scale is no simple task. Micromixers are essential components of microfluidic devices widely used across the pharmaceutical, ...

Researchers have developed four new high-octane gasoline formulations using renewable fuel additives, reporting improvements in knock resistance, volatility, fuel stability and combustion-related properties compared with ...
