For decades, computing followed a simple rule: Smaller transistors made chips faster, cheaper, and more capable. As Moore's law slows, a different limit has come into focus. The challenge is no longer only computation; modern ...

A research team led by Prof. Zhao Shenlong from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed scalable metal-organic framework (MOF) electrodes for alkaline water ...

Choosing a more electrified vehicle will reduce drivers' greenhouse gas emissions, regardless of where they live in the contiguous United States, according to a new study from the University of Michigan.

A new system developed by Cornell Tech researchers helps users detect when their online accounts have been compromised—without exposing their personal devices to invasive tracking by web services.

An international team of researchers has put forward a framework that it argues can be used to answer one of the biggest questions facing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies: can AI be trusted? The framework offers ...

Sometimes less really is more—at least that is the case when it comes to improving carbon capture systems, according to a team of researchers at the University of Houston.

Henan University of Technology researchers report on the development of a lightweight lattice-based limb design for a bionic robot. Lightweight structures that can withstand high loads and torsion are in demand in a range ...

Blockchain technologies are digital systems that work by distributing copies of information across several computers, also referred to as nodes, all of which are connected to a common network. These technologies underpin ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed many computational tools that can analyze and interpret images. These tools have proved useful for a broad range of applications, including robotics, autonomous driving, ...

Despite decades of progress, most robots are still programmed for specific, repetitive tasks. They struggle with the unexpected and can't adapt to new situations without painstaking reprogramming. But what if they could learn ...

For researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a new avenue for reducing carbon emissions can be found on the side. A side of salad dressing, that is.

Altruism, the tendency to behave in ways that benefit others even if it comes at a cost to oneself, is a valuable human quality that can facilitate cooperation with others and promote meaningful social relationships. Behavioral ...
