Thanks to the exponential rise of AI, the rapid construction of large, gigawatt-gobbling data centers across the country has stoked concerns about how the power grid will hold up under this additional strain.

Structure dictates function. Scientists are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to design the arrangement of atoms in new materials with desired properties. Now, researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science, ...

The standard data migration tools offered by major Android manufacturers such as Samsung, Google and Xiaomi pose security risks, as researchers from the Institute of Information Security at Graz University of Technology (TU ...

Woven textiles can do more than provide softness and strength. Their microscopic arrangement of yarns can also influence how sound travels through a material. However, finding suitable over-and-under yarn patterns is a difficult ...

What does it take for an autonomous robot to be faster around a course than human drone pilots? At these dizzying speeds, humans need lightning-fast reflexes. Researchers at Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands) ...

A new study by researchers, including those in Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Department of Chemical Engineering, has found that the fastest-growing plant on Earth may offer a sustainable and cost-effective alternative ...

Scientists have discovered a class of metal that can unexpectedly resist extreme cold using an unusual mechanism. Normally such temperatures would make similar materials brittle and vulnerable to breaking. The findings, published ...

Artificial intelligence can do remarkable things, but how much does it actually understand about the world? Researchers have found that surprisingly specific information can be extracted from the inner workings of large language ...

As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, its ability to handle humanlike tasks is undeniable. Artificial neural networks can learn to recognize images, use language or write computer code. Like the brain's circuits, ...

A U.S. soldier may carry up to 20 pounds (9 kilograms) of batteries to power communications equipment and other electronics on missions. New research from FIU could help lighten that load. A team of engineers has developed ...

Asphalt containing recycled plastic held together better than conventional asphalt and showed a lower level of plastic-like particles after combined traffic and moisture-related laboratory testing, according to a study led ...

Shoulder exoskeletons designed to help manufacturing workers with overhead tasks need to allow for more dynamic movement before workers reliably use them, according to two studies led by University of Michigan Engineering ...
