Aqueous batteries have been around for centuries. They are safe and relatively low-cost, but their adoption in new energy storage systems—such as grid storage and electric vehicles—has been limited. One major reason is ...

Criminals can use artificial intelligence, specifically large language models, to autonomously carry out ransomware attacks that steal personal files and demand payment, handling every step from breaking into computer systems ...

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have created a new material platform for non-volatile memories using covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline solids with high thermal stability. The researchers ...

As generative AI models move from massive cloud servers to phones and cars, they're stripped down to save power. But what gets trimmed can include the technology that stops them from spewing hate speech or offering roadmaps ...

3D printing has come a long way since its invention in 1983 by Chuck Hull, who pioneered stereolithography, a technique that solidifies liquid resin into solid objects using ultraviolet lasers.

A spinal cord injury in most vertebrates likely inhibits locomotion and induces paralysis—not so in eels. They not only possess the ability to move through water, and surprisingly, across land when intact, but can also ...

Steel truss bridges are a common sight on roads and railways around the world, with many dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite their high strength-to-weight ratio, which allows them to support heavy ...

Korean researchers have ushered in a new era for electric vehicle (EV) battery technology by solving the long-standing dendrite problem in lithium-metal batteries. While conventional lithium-ion batteries are limited to a ...

Scientists at UCL, Google DeepMind and Intrinsic have developed a powerful new AI algorithm that enables large sets of robotic arms to work together faster and smarter in busy industrial settings, potentially saving manufacturers ...

New research has found similarities in how humans and artificial intelligence integrate two types of learning, offering new insights about how people learn as well as how to develop more intuitive AI tools.

A team of computer scientists at the University of Toronto recently discovered that a certain type of hardware attack is effective against graphics processing units (GPUs), the core computing engines that power today's artificial ...

An international research team of photovoltaics scientists has taken a crucial step toward the industrialization of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells. They demonstrated that passivation of the perovskite top cell is possible ...
