Tech Xplore / New haptic display technology creates 3D graphics you can see and feel
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have invented a display technology for on-screen graphics that are both visible and haptic, meaning that they can be felt via touch.
Tech Xplore / Ceramic electrochemical cell production temperature drops by over 500°C with new method
As power demand surges in the AI era, the protonic ceramic electrochemical cell (PCEC), which can simultaneously produce electricity and hydrogen, is gaining attention as a next-generation energy technology. However, this ...
Tech Xplore / Reservoir thermal energy storage offers efficient cooling for data centers
The rise of artificial intelligence, cloud platforms, and data processing is driving a steady increase in global data center electricity consumption. While running computer servers accounts for the largest share of data center ...
Tech Xplore / Aluminum stabilizes high-nickel cathodes, curbing rapid capacity loss in EV batteries
To increase driving range, electric vehicle (EV) batteries rely on high-nickel cathodes. However, this high nickel content has a critical drawback: battery performance degrades rapidly during charging and discharging. The ...
Tech Xplore / Light yet strong material inspired by egg whites can cool devices faster
A research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed a high-performance heat-dissipating composite material that achieves both eco-friendliness and low-cost processing.
Tech Xplore / Iron-on electronic patches enable easy integration of circuits into fabrics
Iron-on patches can repair clothing or add personal flair to backpacks and hats. And now they could power wearable tech, too. Researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have combined liquid metal and a heat-activated ...
Tech Xplore / Puerto Rico case study provides better way to plan for energy transitions
A new article published in Nature Communications offers insight into how government planners can better account for the many uncertainties that accompany the transition from fossil-fuel power systems to renewable or decarbonized ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists develop a glasses-free 3D system with a little help from AI
Watching 3D movies and TV shows is a fun and exciting experience, where images leap out of the screen. To get this effect, you usually have to wear a special pair of glasses. But that could soon be a thing of the past as ...
Tech Xplore / Classical Indian dance inspires new ways to teach robots how to use their hands
Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have extracted the building blocks of precise hand gestures used in the classical Indian dance form Bharatanatyam—and found a richer "alphabet" of movement ...
Tech Xplore / Aluminum nitride transistor advances next-gen RF electronics
Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are engineered, while also addressing supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical semiconductor material.
Tech Xplore / A smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems
To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.
Tech Xplore / Zinc-ion batteries get a boost from protective film that reduces dendrite formation
While burning electric vehicles, exploding e-bikes and melting smartphones no longer make the headlines, the issue of battery safety has yet to be fully resolved. To address this, UBC researchers recently made a crucial breakthrough ...
