Tech Xplore / Artificial intelligence enables exoskeletons to assist users more efficiently
Exoskeletons typically work by implementing motions programmed in advance and having the user call for them, making it difficult to use them for a wide range of motions in real-life environments.
Tech Xplore / Self-tuning energy device turns vibrations into power
Researchers at National Taiwan University developed a new device that captures energy from vibrations more efficiently. Its self-adjusting mechanism enables resonance with environmental frequencies, resulting in higher power ...
Tech Xplore / Machine embroidery encodes skin-like tension lines in textiles, enabling mass-customizable wearables
A zigzag stitch enables fabric to stretch until the thread is straight. University of Tartu researchers report in Advanced Materials that thread packing can encode fabric stretchability, leading the way to tailoring wearables ...
Tech Xplore / Do chatbots have a moral compass? Researchers turn to Reddit to find out
By challenging AI chatbots to judge thousands of moral dilemmas posted in a popular Reddit forum, UC Berkeley researchers revealed that each platform appears to follow its own set of ethics.
Tech Xplore / Robot dogs, flying cars: five takeaways from the Munich auto show
From "flying cars" to robots and self-driving buses, here are some of the innovations spotted at this week's Munich auto fair, IAA Mobility, one of the world's biggest:
Tech Xplore / OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Google vary widely in identifying hate speech
With the proliferation of online hate speech—which, research shows, can increase political polarization and damage mental health—leading artificial intelligence companies have released large language models that promise ...
Tech Xplore / New technology turns paintings into holograms, bringing art to life
Artists are always looking for new ways to create and express themselves. A growing trend is the use of multiple layers of see-through materials, such as Plexiglas, to create paintings that have real depth, transforming two-dimensional ...
