For consumers worried about the risks associated with using lithium-ion batteries—which are used in everything from phones to laptops to electric vehicles—Michigan State University has discovered that a natural material ...

A recent study demonstrates how a substance derived from camphor, a natural extract from the camphor tree, can significantly improve the quality of perovskite thin films used in solar cells. This material's sublimation property—its ...

A simple and cost-effective method developed by scientists at The Australian National University (ANU) could make the process of extracting valuable resources from brine deposits more environmentally friendly. The research ...

Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of OpenAI's conversational platform ChatGPT, are now widely used by people worldwide to source information and generate content for various purposes.

Researchers at Georgia Tech's School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE) have developed a promising approach for removing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere to help mitigate global warming.

Researchers have developed a technique that significantly improves the performance of large language models without increasing the computational power necessary to fine-tune the models. The researchers demonstrated that their ...

When aiming for stretchable, health-monitoring, skin-like sensor sheets, materials with demanding properties are required: they need to be flexible, biocompatible, and electrically conductive at the same time.

The language capabilities of today's artificial intelligence systems are astonishing. We can now engage in natural conversations with systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and many others, with a fluency nearly comparable to that ...

A research team led by Prof. Pan Feng from the School of Advanced Materials, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School has uncovered key mechanisms that govern how protons are stored and transported in aqueous batteries.

Oblivious to the punishing midday heat, a wheeled robot powered by the sun and infused with artificial intelligence carefully combs a cotton field in California, plucking out weeds.

Recently, spoken language models (SLMs) have been highlighted as next-generation technology that surpasses the limitations of text-based language models by learning human speech without text to understand and generate linguistic ...

Marine scientists have long marveled at how animals like fish and seals swim so efficiently despite having different shapes. Their bodies are optimized for efficient aquatic navigation (or hydrodynamics), so they can exert ...
