Before batteries lose power, fail suddenly, or burst into flames, they tend to produce faint sounds over time that provide a signature of the degradation processes going on within their structure. But until now, nobody had ...

Imagine a field where solar panels and crops coexist—with no trade-off. It sounds like science fiction, but that's precisely what researchers from Aarhus University have now documented in a full-scale agrivoltaic pilot ...

A research team from UNIST has unveiled a novel solar desalination technology that efficiently harnesses sunlight to evaporate seawater and generate clean drinking water—completely independent of external electricity. Importantly, ...

A new innovation from Cornell researchers lowers the energy use needed to power artificial intelligence—a step toward shrinking the carbon footprints of data centers and AI infrastructure.

OpenAI's latest research paper diagnoses exactly why ChatGPT and other large language models can make things up—known in the world of artificial intelligence as "hallucination." It also reveals why the problem may be unfixable, ...

A recent study provides evidence to help solve one of the key hurdles to large-scale manufacture of next-generation perovskite solar cells.

To train artificial intelligence (AI) models, researchers need good data and lots of it. However, most real-world data has already been used, leading scientists to generate synthetic data. While the generated data helps solve ...

Until now, when scientists created magnetic robots, their magnetization profiles were generally fixed, enabling only a specific type of shape programming capability using applied external magnetic fields. Researchers at the ...

Growing up, we learn to push just hard enough to move a box and to avoid touching a hot pan with our bare hands. Now, a robot hand has been developed that also has these instincts.

A joint team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany and the University of Melbourne in Australia has developed a new method for the straightforward analysis of tiny nanoplastic particles in environmental samples. One ...

Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have developed increasingly sophisticated sensors that can reliably measure a wide range of physiological signals, including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate and ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a portable, silent subwoofer that combines electrical muscle stimulation with low-frequency vibrations. This device enables users to physically feel deep bass in virtual ...
