Cable television (CATV) remains a cornerstone of how national broadcasts and emergency information reach thousands of households. Unfortunately, many older apartment buildings were not built with fiber-optic wiring in mind, ...

Quantum error correction must detect and correct errors without directly reading the quantum information. Classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have a well-established design theory: by choosing how many checks ...

Researchers in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering and the Centre for Advanced Semiconductors and Integrated Circuits (CASIC) at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made ...

A working prototype that can see, remember and interact with the world like the human brain could one day underpin smart bionic eyes while using far less energy than today's technologies. The invention from RMIT University ...

Almost all the energy that flows into computing devices is eventually squandered as waste heat.

A research group comprising Associate Professor Yoshihiro Nakata and Taisei Mogi from the Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering at The University of Electro-Communications (UEC), Japan, and Mari Saito of Sony Corporation ...

University of Warwick researchers have created a new material combining two properties, magnetism and electrical polarization, that scientists have struggled to bring together for decades—and crucially, it works close to ...

It is hard to imagine the modern world without concrete. Enormous quantities are used in construction worldwide, and the production of cement—its main ingredient—generates a great deal of CO₂, a greenhouse gas that accelerates ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), which charge and discharge by moving lithium ions between two electrodes known as the cathode and anode, remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide. Over the past decades, however, ...

The results are in: Which AI model is the most fallible? Persuadable? Correctible? University of Arizona researchers assessed seven different generative AI large language models, or LLMs, for these three qualities during ...

While many fear artificial intelligence will replace humans, using AI to take over some human roles has benefits. Companies can use the technology to conduct surveys and polls, while behavioral scientists can run experiments ...

Steel pipelines used for oil and gas transportation remain the backbone of energy infrastructure. Hence, there is heavy focus on their integrity and resistance to degradation in corrosive conditions. Sour corrosion, a dangerous ...
