Tech Xplore / This 'gas battery' turns CO₂ and NOₓ pollution into electricity while cleaning the air
A research team has introduced a new concept device termed the Gas Capture and Electricity Generator (GCEG), which produces electrical power as greenhouse gases are adsorbed from the atmosphere. This innovation goes beyond ...
Tech Xplore / Handle with care: Soft robot gripper picks ripe fruit without bruising
When assessing the ripeness of fruit, sight and smell can tell you a lot, but the best indicator is often how the fruit feels. Cornell researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft robot gripper that can ...
Tech Xplore / Biowaste coatings made from crustacean shells can boost CO₂-to-fuel conversion
The stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz in the past few weeks has choked off roughly a fifth of the world's oil supply, triggering the worst global energy crisis since the 1970s. Beyond the immediate shock, the disruption ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic says will put AI risks 'on the table' with Mythos model
American AI developer Anthropic plans to "lay the risks out on the table" even as it restricts deployment of a new model dubbed Mythos, whose powerful cybersecurity capabilities raise stark questions for companies and governments.
Tech Xplore / Tag-teaming turbulence: Frontier supercomputer trains AI to model cosmic storms
Researchers used the world's fastest supercomputer for open science to train an artificial intelligence model that captures magnetic turbulence within a plasma in unprecedented detail. Results from the model, trained on the ...
Tech Xplore / Rotating acoustic filter isolates machine fault sounds in 100 dB noise
Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Prof. Sung-Hoon Ahn of the Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed, for the first time in the world, an "interference acoustic ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers survey the challenges of integrating wind and solar into power grids
As wind and solar power expand rapidly worldwide, researchers are confronting a growing challenge: how to effectively integrate them into the power grid. Wind turbines and solar panels have what economists call zero marginal ...
Tech Xplore / New two-electrode method tracks water electrolysis degradation in real time
A Korean research team has developed a two-electrode-based real-time diagnostic technology capable of precisely analyzing the causes of performance degradation in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) systems ...
Tech Xplore / Fusion power may never be cost-competitive with renewables, study warns
Fusion power plants are sites at which electricity could be generated via a process known as nuclear fusion, which entails the merging of two atomic nuclei into a single heavier nucleus. This process is known to generate ...
Tech Xplore / Engineered wood provides solar power even after the sun goes down
While sustainable solar energy can potentially meet our global power needs, it has one major flaw. When sunlight disappears, solar panels stop generating electricity. The problem is that while they do an excellent job of ...
Tech Xplore / A humanoid robot sprints past the human half-marathon world record in Beijing race
A humanoid robot that won a half-marathon race for robots in Beijing on Sunday ran faster than the human world record in a show of China's technological leaps.
Tech Xplore / AI 'agent' fever comes with lurking security threats
Artificial intelligence "agents" promise to save users time and energy by automating tasks, but the growing power of systems like OpenClaw is setting cybersecurity experts on edge.
