Tech Xplore / Engineers develop thin film to make AI chips faster and more energy efficient
Addressing the staggering power and energy demands of artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of Houston have developed a revolutionary new thin-film material that promises to make AI devices significantly faster ...
Tech Xplore / Mapping the cosmos of innovation: AI model charts the age and trajectory of 23,000 technologies
A team of researchers has built one of the most detailed open maps of emerging technologies yet assembled, allowing governments, companies and investors in the United States and worldwide to see what sits inside big fields ...
Tech Xplore / LLMs choose friends and colleagues like people, researchers find
When large language models (LLMs) make decisions about networking and friendship, the models tend to act like people, across both synthetic simulations and real-world network contexts.
Tech Xplore / Laser-assisted 3D printing can fabricate free-standing thermoset-based electronics in seconds
Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These materials are highly durable, ...
Tech Xplore / 'Rock candy' technique offers simpler, less costly way to capture carbon directly from air
University of Toronto Engineering researchers have discovered a new way of capturing carbon directly from the air—one that could offer significant cost savings over current methods.
Tech Xplore / Can AI make us more creative? Study reveals surprising benefits of human-AI collaboration
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a tool to automate tasks and replace humans, but new research from Swansea University challenges this view, showing that AI can also act as a creative, engaging and inspiring ...
Tech Xplore / Artificial tendons give muscle-powered robots a boost
Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate "biohybrid robots" made from both living tissue ...
Tech Xplore / Small changes make some AI systems more brain-like than others
Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University.
Tech Xplore / Serendipitous observation reveals how airplanes discharge static electricity
An international team of scientists, led by Olaf Scholten, professor of astrophysics at the University of Groningen, has observed radio wave emissions originating from a commercial airliner, most likely caused by the discharge ...
Tech Xplore / Single molecular membrane can make lithium batteries safer and longer-lasting
A team of Korean scientists has developed a separator technology that dramatically reduces the explosion risk of lithium batteries while doubling their lifespan. Like an ultra-thin bulletproof vest protecting both sides, ...
Tech Xplore / Advances in spacecraft control: New algorithm guarantees precision under extreme disturbances
An international team of researchers has unveiled a spacecraft attitude control system that can guarantee precise stabilization and maneuvering within a predefined time, even under extreme and unpredictable space disturbances.
