Tech Xplore / More is different when AI agent populations work together, study suggests
New research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that when artificial intelligence (AI) agents interact in groups, their number is not merely a technical detail. It is a decisive factor in ...
Tech Xplore / Inexpensive reflective tiles pave the way for millimeter wave wireless communications
Unlike Wi-Fi or cellular signals, millimeter-wave wireless communication channels are unable to pass through walls, furniture or other objects. This reality is part of what is holding back the implementation of millimeter-wave ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid magnetic device enables quantum-inspired secure communication at room temperature
MIT researchers have overcome a major challenge holding back the real-world deployment of microwave quantum technologies for advanced signal processing and secure communications.
Tech Xplore / Laser de-icing system helps nuclear power plants improve maintenance of a critical safety system
University of South Florida engineers have developed an innovative laser-based technology that is helping nuclear power plants solve a complex maintenance challenge affecting a critical reactor safety system. After four years ...
Tech Xplore / 'Oxygen tunnel' structure could solve 3D memory reliability problem to boost AI chip performance
As AI systems become more advanced, memory is required to transfer larger amounts of data at higher speeds. But conventional planar semiconductor scaling is running out of room. A KAIST research team has now addressed a key ...
Tech Xplore / One radar, two jobs: Vehicle system detects objects and exchanges data during high-speed driving
A research team led by senior researcher Bongseok Kim of the Future Mobility Research Division at DGIST has developed a "low-complexity receiver technology" that can simultaneously communicate data and detect surrounding ...
Tech Xplore / Flash of light creates high-performance materials without heating the surface beneath
A flash of light lasting a fraction of a millisecond could help create better materials for solar energy. Researchers used ultrafast heating at rates of up to 10 million degrees Celsius per second to rearrange the atoms inside ...
Tech Xplore / When AI art has no author: Study finds generated images often can't be traced to training data
When an artificial intelligence image generator produces a portrait, whose work went into it? The question sits at the center of lawsuits, licensing deals and proposed regulations worldwide. Artists want credit. Companies ...
Tech Xplore / The ultimate glow up: Flexible screens reach record brightness with redesigned electrolyte and electrodes
From a skin patch that changes color to flag abnormal blood sugar to a diver's sleeve display that stays readable underwater, the need for bright, flexible screens is growing, but no existing technology delivers the combination ...
Tech Xplore / Polymer cage extends zinc-iodine battery life beyond 60,000 cycles
While soaring demand for lithium-ion batteries pushes prices higher, Flinders University experts are making headway in developing a safe, more sustainable aqueous zinc-iodine rechargeable battery. In their latest study, published ...
Tech Xplore / Workplace AI learns to read more like humans by breaking documents into multiple levels
Modern artificial intelligence (AI) platforms can summarize reports, analyze documents and answer questions in seconds. But when information is spread across dozens of slides, charts and tables, even advanced models can miss ...
Tech Xplore / Making room for data centers without derailing the energy transition
The rapid growth of data centers is adding enormous new demands to power grids already under pressure to connect renewable energy, retire fossil-fuel plants and electrify transportation and buildings. A recent paper published ...
