Scientists at the Advanced Institute for Materials Research found that machine learning accelerates the design and optimization of multicomponent catalysts, saving considerable time and resources. The technology significantly advanced the…

Graphene’s unique properties include ultra-high electrical conductivity and tensile strength. The downside is that it’s dirty. Researchers at Columbia University, the University of Montreal, and NIST are cleaning up graphene using an…

We harness Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform all kinds of tasks, from writing to problem-solving. That harnessing, however, is not necessarily intuitive. Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) are…

Researchers at Oregon State University are demonstrating that iron, instead of cobalt and nickel, can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. They published their findings in Science Advances. So far, the cathode…

Technology has varying degrees of usefulness, but I'm a sucker for stories like the following: Colorado Highland Helicopters is testing technology that allows helicopter search and rescue teams to detect missing people in Colorado’s…

According to Innovation, Science, and Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, the Canadian government has ordered Bluevec Technologies and Pegauni Technology to shut down operations following a national security review. Although…

Airbnb reports that it will use machine learning technology to crack down on parties this summer. “It’s really important that those spaces are respected and treated with care, and that, you know, people are not showing up and taking…

Boston Metal, an MIT spinout, is ready to commercialize a new steelmaking method that can potentially clean up steel’s dirty processes. Typically, making steel involves mining iron ore, reducing it in a blast furnace with the addition of…

The United States Space Force Commercial Space Strategy was released in early April. It included a question regarding the U.S. government buying commercial, foreign-made, off-the-shelf products rather than investing solely in developing and…

Research at the University of Utah documented elevated concentrations of rare earth elements (REEs) in active mines in the coal belt of Colorado and Utah. It’s possible that the mines have a secondary resource stream in metals used in…

Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadkin and Elon Musk launched SpaceX satellite internet service for the country's health sector to assist remote regions. Musk indicated that Starlink service would help millions in remote parts of…

A few years ago I stood on an amazingly picturesque hill in Costa Rica overlooking Lake Arenal. I closed my eyes, taking in the warmth of the sun. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain. I looked down to see a virtual onslaught of red fire ants…

The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) framework defines specific cyber workforce roles. They recently added new competency areas and updated skills and tasks to help agencies better understand and meet their cyber…

Siemens and the Sony Corporation introduced a new design solution combining the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software and Sony's new XR head-mounted display (HMD), SRH-S1, designed using Siemens' NX software. The SRH-S1 includes…

A new study from Aalto University in Finland suggests that people perform better when they use AI because they expect to perform better. During the research, participants completed a simple letter recognition exercise. They did the task…
