A team of Korean scientists has developed an innovative green technology that transforms plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel using only sunlight and water.

As more connected devices demand an increasing amount of bandwidth for tasks like teleworking and cloud computing, it will become extremely challenging to manage the finite amount of wireless spectrum available for all users ...

Perovskite has broad application prospects in solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and detectors due to its high luminescent efficiency and low cost. However, electrons and holes in traditional perovskite materials ...

Today, 2.2 billion people in the world lack access to safe drinking water. In the United States, more than 46 million people experience water insecurity, living with either no running water or water that is unsafe to drink. ...

Art restoration takes steady hands and a discerning eye. For centuries, conservators have restored paintings by identifying areas needing repair, then mixing an exact shade to fill in one area at a time. Often, a painting ...

Would you trust a driverless car? A 2024 global survey involving nearly 8,000 participants suggests most people are wary of handing over the steering wheel to sensors, cameras and computer algorithms.

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are a class of mathematical problems that represent the interplay of multiple variables, and therefore have predictive power when it comes to complex physical systems. Solving these equations ...

A team of roboticists at the University of Canberra's Collaborative Robotics Lab, working with a sociologist colleague from The Australian National University, has found humans interacting with an LLM-enabled humanoid robot ...

Fungi have been around for many millions of years, with the incremental process of evolution honing and improving their survival skills through the millennia.

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is evolving rapidly, AI models still struggle with understanding long videos. A research team from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a novel video-language ...

Self-driving cars will soon be able to "think" like human drivers under complex traffic environments, thanks to a cognitive encoding framework built by a multidisciplinary research team from the School of Engineering at the ...

Green hydrogen is a key part of the energy transition. In the coming years, it'll be made in wind farms in the German Bight. With recent technology, this process creates waste heat and brine, which are both dumped into the ...
