Tech Xplore / News outlets urge a judge to sanction OpenAI in a high-stakes AI copyright fight
The New York Times, the Daily News and other media outlets are asking a federal judge to impose sanctions on OpenAI, escalating a fight over artificial intelligence and copyright that could shape the future of a struggling ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop a new way to build molecular 'ladders' for organic electronics
Ladder-type oligothiophenes are an important class of sulfur-containing π-conjugated molecules. Because their fused, ladder-like structures can support efficient electronic interactions, they are widely studied as core motifs ...
Tech Xplore / Smaller homes could cut Europe's CO₂ building emissions
Buildings are responsible for around 40% of CO2 emissions in the European Union. This means the building sector has a central role to play in achieving the EU's climate targets by 2050. An EU research project involving Graz ...
Tech Xplore / Light-powered chip harvests energy, computes and senses chemicals in one stack
Most contemporary portable electronics, including laptops, smartphones and smart watches, are powered by batteries that need to be recharged daily or every few days. Over the past decade, however, some engineers have been ...
Tech Xplore / AI memory bottleneck may ease as ultrathin chip stacks quadruple high-bandwidth memory density
A Korean research team has developed a technology that enables the stable stacking of more than 10 ultrathin semiconductor chips, each only one-fifth the thickness of a human hair. A research team successfully achieved an ...
Tech Xplore / Rust-to-iron cycle may unlock long-term storage for renewable energy
In the future, iron might be used as a chemical energy storage material, making large quantities of renewable energy available in the long term. Iron powder is combusted in a cyclic process that is carbon neutral and then ...
Tech Xplore / Small transistor sharpens low-cost thermal cameras without extreme cooling
With help from a small transistor, a team of researchers led by Professor Fengnian Xia figured out a way to make a type of thermal imaging technology dramatically more accurate. The results are published in Nature Sensors.
Tech Xplore / OpenAI to launch new model after US freeze
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI said its latest and most powerful artificial intelligence model will be released to the public on Thursday, as the U.S. government reportedly approved a broader launch.
Tech Xplore / Cheaper catalyst turns captured carbon dioxide, methanol and hydrogen into ethanol
An international team of researchers has developed a homogeneous catalytic process that converts methanol, carbon dioxide and hydrogen into ethanol using inexpensive and stable catalyst precursors.
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop core display technology that prevents image distortion even when stretched
Beyond bendable and foldable displays, the era of stretchable displays—whose screens can expand freely like rubber—is now emerging. KAIST researchers have developed a core technology that allows text, images and other on-screen ...
Tech Xplore / A soft exoskeleton could restore hand function in people with motor impairments
Recent technological advances have opened valuable possibilities for supporting people with motor impairments or who are recovering from injuries to the brain, spinal cord or nerves. Millions of people worldwide currently ...
Tech Xplore / Holographic printer produces 3D shapes in one shot
University of Utah researchers have demonstrated a new method of 3D printing that avoids the leaky seams that come with the layer-by-layer process. Using a nanoscale "mask" that diffracts laser light into a holographic pattern ...
