If you've seen an owl fly, you probably didn't hear a thing. That's because their skin and feathers dampen sound by absorbing high- and low-frequency flight noise.

From smart grids to the internet of things, the modern world is increasingly reliant on connectivity between electronic devices. Thanks to University of Ottawa researchers, these devices can now be simultaneously connected ...

Scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered that the common kitchen ingredient, used in Vietnamese spring rolls, is biodegradable, non-toxic and suitable for soft robotic prototyping, outreach and single-use applications.

A research group led by Prof. Ge Ziyi from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an innovative strategy to alleviate NiOx corrosion, enabling ...

The chemical reaction to produce hydrogen from water is several times more effective when using a combination of new materials in three layers, according to researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. Hydrogen produced ...

Tianjin University scientists have developed a pioneering nondestructive testing technology for micro-LED wafers, offering a much-needed solution to a long-standing industry challenge through a novel "soft-touch" approach.

Researchers at cybersecurity outlet Cybernews say that billions of login credentials have been leaked and compiled into datasets online, giving criminals "unprecedented access" to accounts consumers use each day.

Laser trackers help improve precision and reduce operational costs of industrial robots, new research from the University of Nottingham says.

Deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are designed to partly emulate the functioning and structure of biological neural networks. As a result, in addition ...

Recently, text-based image generation models can automatically create high-resolution, high-quality images solely from natural language descriptions. However, when a typical example like the Stable Diffusion model is given ...

In the building sector, which accounts for approximately 40% of global energy consumption, heat ingress through windows has been identified as a primary cause of wasted heating and cooling energy.

Researchers at EPFL have created a mathematical model that helps explain how breaking language into sequences makes modern AI-like chatbots so good at understanding and using words. The work is published in the journal Physical ...
