Think, know, understand, remember. These are just a few of the mental verbs we use every day to describe what happens in a person's mind. But when using these same words to talk about artificial intelligence, we can unintentionally ...

In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to identify semiconducting materials that could substitute for silicon and enable the further advancement of electronic devices. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, ...

Google said Sunday that it is expanding the shopping features in its AI chatbot by teaming up with Walmart, Shopify, Wayfair and other big retailers to turn the Gemini app into a virtual merchant as well as an assistant.

Every year, companies lose revenue when goods are copied or illegally resold. Now, a new digital and legally binding fingerprint developed at the University of Copenhagen makes products impossible to counterfeit. Royal Copenhagen ...

The rapid development and widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is posing new challenges for electricity consumption. This is because most AI systems rely on data centers, facilities hosting several computing ...

Scientists have found a way to make perovskite solar cells not only highly efficient but also remarkably stable, addressing one of the main challenges holding the technology back from widespread use.

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a new approach that addresses the limitations of generative AI models. Unlike generative diffusion models, the team's Discrete Spatial Diffusion approach honors ...

The organic light emitting diodes—known widely as OLEDs—that create vibrant smartphone displays could illuminate rooms, but current designs burn out too quickly at the high brightness needed for room lighting. A new approach ...

Transition metal fluorides are widely regarded as promising cathode materials because of their high theoretical voltages and excellent thermal stability. However, in real batteries, these materials tend to dissolve and migrate ...

Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when electricity is cheap and releases heat when needed.

The vision of a U.S. nuclear power renaissance has a blind spot—uranium fuel—in the near term and long, according to a Stanford University-led industry meeting.
