Tech Xplore / BurgerAI creates custom burgers tailored for taste, health and the planet
Stanford researcher Ellen Kuhl estimates that there are some 1043 potential burger recipes in the world. And with BurgerAI, a new tool developed in her lab, artificial intelligence can now design the best one for you based ...
Tech Xplore / Shifting data center power to off-peak hours could cut grid costs in the age of AI
The number of U.S. data centers is growing, largely to power artificial intelligence programs. That has led to concern about the environmental consequences of data centers—and their impact on the energy grid itself. What ...
Tech Xplore / It only takes one fake web page to fool AI shopping bots, study finds
AI shopping assistants are popping up all over the internet, changing how we browse, compare and discover products. However, these helpful tools appear to have a serious security flaw. According to a paper published on the ...
Tech Xplore / IBM unveils 0.7-nanometer chip tech promising 50% higher performance and up to 70% better energy efficiency
IBM unveiled new semiconductor technology Thursday that the company says could deliver computer chips with 50% better performance while dramatically lowering power consumption.
Tech Xplore / Agentic AI bot helps scientists speak to robots, speeding up experiments
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory use a slew of autonomous robots to design and implement experiments. However, setting up an experiment on an autonomous lab robot is surprisingly ...
Tech Xplore / Ferroelectric memory enables one chip to sample randomness and compute for generative AI
For the first time, a research team has demonstrated an artificial intelligence semiconductor technology that integrates the core functions of generative AI into a single device platform based on ferroelectric memory. This ...
Tech Xplore / Plain-language AI workflow tool could cut cloud energy use and costs dramatically
Agentic workflows are artificial intelligence-powered software systems that chain together multiple models and external tools to tackle complicated tasks, like analyzing a video and answering questions about it. But the way ...
Tech Xplore / Generative AI designs DNA origami to match user-drawn shapes automatically
A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that exactly match user-drawn shapes using generative AI. The generative design model, "Generative SNUPI," ...
Tech Xplore / AI and physics draw a blueprint for better hydrogen storage materials
Hydrogen can become a clever way to store renewable energy and power fuel cells—but this introduces the problem of what can store this hydrogen, in turn. Metal hydrides—solids that absorb hydrogen into their crystal structures—are ...
Tech Xplore / Perovskite solar cells need decades-long durability. New work shows which fast-aging tests come closest
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) could conquer the mass market within a few years, perhaps even being produced in Europe. Their large-scale production is highly cost-effective, and unlike silicon solar cells, their production ...
Tech Xplore / Batteries and fuel cells would overhaul emissions from semis and other heavy vehicles
Although electrified versions of vans, buses and semis cost more upfront on average than their diesel-powered counterparts, the overall calculus behind adopting greener vehicles is currently in flux.
Tech Xplore / A new type of pixel can steer and analyze light, paving way for devices that function as both camera and display
In 1927, the term "picture element," later abbreviated to "pixel," appeared for the first time in the American technology magazine Wireless World. Today, pixels are everywhere: in computer screens and television sets, where ...
