Tech Xplore / Can we trust AI? Researchers offer framework for tackling this question
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 ...
Tech Xplore / EVs reduce climate pollution, but by how much? Analysis covers powertrain type, size, usage and location
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.
Tech Xplore / Membraneless process and flow battery promise cheaper, greener carbon capture
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.
Tech Xplore / Virtual reality merges with robotics to create seamless physical interactions
Computer scientists at Princeton are working to bring virtual reality into the physical world, with the potential to enhance a variety of experiences, including remote collaboration, education, entertainment and gaming.
Tech Xplore / Fiber technology achieves high-purity CO₂ capture with smartphone-level power consumption
Direct air capture (DAC) is a technology that filters out carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere at extremely low concentrations (below 400 ppm). A KAIST research team has now succeeded in capturing more than 95% high-purity ...
Tech Xplore / Self-generated virtual experiences enable robots to adapt to unseen tasks with greater flexibility
Humans instinctively walk and run—brisk walking feels effortless, and we naturally adjust our stride and pace without conscious thought. For physical AI robots, however, mastering basic movements doesn't automatically translate ...
Tech Xplore / Betavoltaic battery performance now measurable through standardized comparison tools
What if you never had to worry about recharging your devices again? Imagine a world where a heart pacemaker works for your whole life on its own. Advances in the area of betavoltaic batteries could make this possible.
Tech Xplore / Simulation modeling and physical testing for latticed bionic limbs match, but is it a real study?
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 ...
Tech Xplore / Hydrogen from solar heat: Novel oxide material discovered for carbon-free hydrogen production
A research team from POSTECH and Seoul National University (SNU) has discovered a novel oxide material that can produce large quantities of clean hydrogen using only heat, without carbon emissions. The discovery, enabled ...
Tech Xplore / AI systems are great at tests. But how do they perform in real life?
Earlier this month, when OpenAI released its latest flagship artificial intelligence (AI) system, GPT-5, the company said it was "much smarter across the board" than earlier models. Backing up the claim were high scores on ...
Tech Xplore / Contrastive learning framework can detect blockchain-based smart Ponzi schemes
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 ...
Tech Xplore / AI method reconstructs 3D scene details from simulated images using inverse rendering
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, ...
