Some advances in AI technology are undoubtedly positive, like helping write code faster or discovering new medicines. But others can give us pause for thought.

A new study led by researchers at the Yale Center for Ecosystems and Architecture (Yale CEA), together with NYU, Purdue, YSE, Buro Happold and others, shows how plant-based biofilters could help reduce indoor CO2 to levels ...

Solar cells, devices that convert energy from sunlight into electricity, are being deployed in increasing numbers in many countries. While most cells on the market today are based on silicon, recent studies have highlighted ...

OpenAI disclosed Friday that its artificial intelligence agents had interacted with several U.S. government websites in unexpected ways, discovered as part of an ongoing review into the company's models' unanticipated behavior.

A new approach that uses light to switch the magnetic states of a material could lead to faster, smaller and more energy-efficient data storage. Engineers at the University of California San Diego published their findings ...

When we read a car's license plate, we tend to focus on the numbers and letters, paying little attention to the surrounding buildings or sky. An artificial-intelligence (AI) system, however, may still process those surrounding ...

Scientists have developed an air purifier charged by sunlight and indoor LED lights, potentially offering an inexpensive, lower-maintenance alternative to standard filtration systems that protect users from pollutants and ...

While lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, energy engineers have been testing various alternatives with different underlying chemistries. These include lithium-sulfur ...

Using the human body to transmit signals, Georgia Tech engineers have created a wireless networking system that allows tiny implantable sensors and actuators to communicate with each other and with wearable devices. Their ...

Meta is going all in on a consumer-friendly AI agent and pushing forward with AI-powered wearable devices during a moment in the industry when its CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged it is a "wild time to be building."

Artificial intelligence models can give users the wrong answer and do so with great confidence. They can also hedge and warn that they are unsure—even when they get the answer right.

For many of us, the last—and only—time we've seen a walking hand was Thing in "The Addams Family" movies or TV series. Now there's another. Engineers from the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich have adapted an off-the-shelf ...
