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" ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers reveal bias in a widely used measure of algorithm performance
When scientists test algorithms that sort or classify data, they often turn to a trusted tool called Normalized Mutual Information (or NMI) to measure how well an algorithm's output matches reality. But according to new research, ...
Tech Xplore / Harry Potter-style 'moving invisibility cloak' technology developed
What do Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and stealth fighter jets that evade radar have in common? They both make objects invisible despite their physical presence. Building upon this concept, a research team has taken it ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop real-time membrane imaging for sustainable water filtration
CU Boulder researchers have introduced a solution to improving the performance of large-scale desalination plants: stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).
