Tech Xplore / Chemical fine-tuning lifts perovskite LEDs to 37% efficiency
Chemists developed a way to significantly improve the performance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) made with perovskite. The journal Nature published the advancement in these hybrid LEDs, which hold potential for a range of ...
Tech Xplore / New cyber threat to water systems exposes limits of encryption
University of British Columbia researchers have uncovered a vulnerability that could allow hackers to target and disrupt critical infrastructure such as water treatment plants and energy grids without needing to break into ...
Tech Xplore / Fingerprint authentication uses ultrasound without storing biometric information as digital data
A research team has developed a new biometric authentication technology that can identify users without storing their fingerprint information as digital data. The study is published in Nature Sensors.
Tech Xplore / Greener chemistry brings low-toxicity perovskite solar cells closer to production
Solar panels that can be coated onto thin, flexible surfaces could one day be made the way newspapers are printed, at room temperature and without the toxic chemicals the process has relied on, claim researchers from the ...
Tech Xplore / Human learning is an underestimated factor in the success of human–AI teams
Human–AI collaboration is widely seen as the work model of the future: The expectation is that together, humans and AI will be more productive than either working alone. Yet the research to date seemed to tell a different ...
Tech Xplore / Gut power: Small intestine–inspired biobatteries could generate electricity from wastewater
When trying to figure out a better design for a bacteria-powered biobattery, Binghamton University researchers found inspiration in nature—specifically, the insides of our small intestines.
Tech Xplore / Trading power reductions could reduce data center strain on energy grid
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.
Tech Xplore / Nanoscale coating boosts hydrogen cell efficiency and durability by improving internal contact
A research team led by professor Wonyoung Lee of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed a technology that addresses interfacial contact resistance, a key factor limiting the performance ...
Tech Xplore / Using electronic structure to guide AI in designing new materials
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, ...
Tech Xplore / AI and symmetry speed design of sound-absorbing fabrics
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 ...
Tech Xplore / Clone2Pwn: Android data migration flaws allowed attackers within Wi-Fi range to steal sensitive data
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 ...
Tech Xplore / AI drone outpaces former world champions using one camera and no GPS
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) ...
