Tech Xplore / Top AI coding tools make mistakes one in four times, study shows
New research from the University of Waterloo shows that artificial intelligence (AI) still struggles with some basic software development tasks, raising questions about how reliably AI systems can assist developers. As Large ...
Tech Xplore / Compostable robot endures over 1 million uses before becoming plant food
The rapid proliferation of robots and electronic devices is placing the world under a new and growing environmental burden. According to the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), global electronic waste ...
Tech Xplore / Nanoscale hotspots in OLEDs may shorten their lifespans in phones and TVs
The pixels in phone screens and other OLED displays appear to provide a uniform glow, but a team of University of Michigan Engineering researchers has discovered the light actually originates from nanoscale hotspots, some ...
Tech Xplore / Small 'edge' computer could help self-driving cars operate in rural areas
As self-driving cars begin operating in cities, a question remains about how to make them work in rural areas with limited telecommunications infrastructure. New research from Washington State University suggests a potential ...
Tech Xplore / What flocking birds can teach AI about reducing noise
Among the primary concerns surrounding artificial intelligence is its tendency to yield erroneous information when summarizing long documents. These "hallucinations" are problematic not only because they convey falsehoods, ...
Tech Xplore / Autonomous navigation of microrobots in complex flows demonstrated for the first time
For the first time, researchers at Leipzig University have shown that tiny synthetic microswimmers can perceive their surroundings directly through their own body shape and autonomously adapt to rapidly changing fluid flows. ...
Tech Xplore / Communication-aware neural networks could advance edge computing
Edge computing is an emerging IT architecture that enables the processing of data locally by smartphones, autonomous vehicles, local servers, and other IoT devices instead of sending it to be processed at a centralized large ...
Tech Xplore / Mechanically activated liquid metal powder lets users draw circuits on paper
What if electronic circuits could be created simply by drawing lines with a pencil on paper or leaves—and then immediately applied to soft robots or skin-attached health monitoring devices? Korean researchers have developed ...
Tech Xplore / First-of-its-kind ion pump developed for seawater desalination, energy and biomedical applications
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, Israel's Tel Aviv University and other institutions have developed a first-of-its-kind membrane through which charged molecules pass using nothing more than a rapidly switching ...
Tech Xplore / Key transistor for next-generation 3D stacked semiconductors operates without current leakage
A research team led by Professor Jae Eun Jang and Dr. Goeun Pyo from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST has developed "dual-modulated vertically stacked transistors" that operate stably ...
Tech Xplore / AI gets a D: ChatGPT struggles with scientific true-or-false, study shows
Again and again, Washington State University professor Mesut Cicek and his colleagues fed hypotheses from scientific papers into ChatGPT and asked it to determine whether the statements had been upheld by research—whether ...
Tech Xplore / Novel AI semiconductor uses hydrogen ions for learning and memory
A research team led by Lee Hyun Jun and Noh Hee Yeon from the Division of Nanotechnology at DGIST has succeeded in implementing the world's first two-terminal-based artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor that precisely ...
