Soft grippers, which are built from flexible materials that can bend and deform, are attracting a lot of attention from robotics researchers worldwide. Unlike conventional robots made from rigid metal or plastic, soft grippers ...

Your online order arrives damaged, so you request a refund. What often follows is an artificial intelligence workflow involving multiple AI models: One model checks your request against company policy, another analyzes the ...

The future hydrogen economy may hinge on iridium, a metal so rare that only about 8 tonnes are produced worldwide each year. To help stretch the limited supply, University of Delaware researchers have developed a recycling ...

Walking robots, such as quadruped robotic dogs, must be able to move safely through rough, often changing environments. Today, there are two main ways to program these walking, or legged, robots. The first is called model ...

A battery that "talks" does not use words—it communicates through data. Researchers at Kiel University have demonstrated how sensors inside a battery cell can transmit measurement data to the outside without the need for ...

Air is absolutely essential for human life, but for certain semiconductors, it is a deadly poison. The moment these materials come into contact with air, unreacted tin ions on their surface oxidize, creating defects that ...

Over the past few decades, engineers have developed various devices that can create holograms, three-dimensional (3D) or two-dimensional (2D) images produced by precisely controlling the shape and direction of traveling light ...

Developers are increasingly relying on large language models (LLMs) for everyday computing tasks such as fixing bugs, explaining code and automating text-processing tasks like filtering logs.

Neuromorphic computing is a computational paradigm that mimics the way the brain functions in terms of both architecture and dynamics. It creates electronic circuits that store and process information in an integrated manner, ...

As the era of AI agents—systems that can reason and act autonomously—begins, the power consumption of data centers is emerging as a critical challenge. A KAIST research team has, for the first time, analyzed the computational ...

Modern wireless communication systems prefer higher frequencies to meet the growing demand for faster data transfer. The 300-GHz band, which lies near the lower end of the terahertz range, is a promising candidate for future ...

Training artificial intelligence to enforce even seemingly straightforward rules—like balls and strikes in Major League Baseball (MLB)—is a messy, dynamic process that takes time and careful evaluation of the technology in ...
