Tech Xplore / Sodium-ion batteries can charge faster than lithium counterparts with hard carbon electrodes
The worldwide push for sustainability requires better, more durable batteries to support renewable energy systems and ubiquitous electronic devices.
Tech Xplore / Flexible position encoding helps LLMs follow complex instructions and shifting states
Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning. For example, "The cat sat on the box," is not the same as "The box was on the cat." Over a long text, like a financial document or a novel, the syntax ...
Tech Xplore / AI system protects wireless networks from jamming attacks in real time
A research team at the University of Ottawa has developed an advanced artificial intelligence system designed to autonomously defend wireless networks from jamming attacks, operating much like a digital immune system. This ...
Tech Xplore / AI-generated audio fills in the gaps for glitch-free music experiences
We've all been there, protecting our ears—the school play in the gym or community hall, where sound is distorted due to glitches in equipment.
Tech Xplore / Confined crystallization strategy improves spray-coated perovskite device performance
Metal halide perovskites are promising for next-generation high-efficiency photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices due to excellent tunable properties and solution processability. Recent fabrication techniques (such as spin ...
Tech Xplore / New analog computing method slashes AI training energy use
Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful—but it's also racking up a massive energy bill. Some estimate that one maximum-length ChatGPT query can use about twice as much power as an average U.S. home does in one ...
Tech Xplore / Research shows how coffee waste could be used to clean contaminated water
Two new research publications from experts at Loughborough University have demonstrated how coffee waste can be used to clean water.
Tech Xplore / New algorithm enables wireless communications without perceptible delays in industrial environments
A team of researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has developed an innovative algorithm for Wi‑Fi networks called "Ponte" that can provide communication in industrial ...
Tech Xplore / New memristor-based converter boosts energy efficiency in AI hardware
A cross-institutional team led by researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), under the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), have achieved a major breakthrough in ...
Tech Xplore / Electrochemical tuning of Ni-rich cathodes curbs c-collapse, enhancing lithium-ion battery durability
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, due to their light weight, high energy densities and their short charging times. Energy engineers have been trying to identify new ...
Tech Xplore / How cement 'breathes in' and stores millions of tons of CO₂ a year
The world's most common construction material has a secret. Cement, the "glue" that holds concrete together, gradually "breathes in" and stores millions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air over the lifetimes of buildings ...
Tech Xplore / How AI helps solve problems it doesn't even understand
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve logical problems—without actually "understanding" ...
