As global electric vehicle adoption accelerates, end-of-life battery packs are quickly becoming a major waste stream. Lithium is costly to mine and refine, and most current recycling methods are energy- and chemical-intensive, ...

A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed an electronic sticker that can monitor a person's vitamin C levels using the sweat from their fingertips—no blood draws, lab visits or batteries ...

Portable genetic sequencers used around the world to sequence DNA have critical, previously unreported security vulnerabilities that could reveal or alter genetic information without detection, according to a new study.

The next generation of wireless communication will move into signal frequencies even higher than those of today's 5G systems, allowing signals to carry vastly more data at much higher speeds. These high-frequency bands, expected ...

Scientists have devised a way to create a green alternative to the light-emitting materials often used in TV, smartphones and other display technologies.

A study by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University College London has found that humans have a form of remote touch, or the ability to sense objects without direct contact, a sense that some animals ...

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are engineered structures comprised of several elements known as 'meta-atoms,' which can reshape and control electromagnetic waves in real-time. These surfaces could contribute to ...

Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have harnessed artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new functional magnetic materials, creating a searchable database of 67,573 magnetic materials, including ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Hyun Oh Song from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering has developed a new AI technology called KVzip that intelligently ...

A research team led by Dr. Lin Cao from the University of Sheffield's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has reimagined one of robotics' long-standing flaws as a breakthrough feature—unveiling a new way for ...

Perovskite solar cells are inexpensive to produce and generate a high amount of electric power per surface area. However, they are not yet stable enough, losing efficiency more rapidly than the silicon market standard. Now, ...

A team co-led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new design strategy for metal alloy negative electrodes that could significantly improve the performance and durability of next-generation ...
