Texas A&M University researchers found a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes versus lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. The team says that metal-free batteries are better for…

Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore created a way to lower heat in data centers. Based on rack density, waste heat generated is approximately 7kW per cubic meter in conventional air-cooled racks. The spray-cooling…

Physicians monitor the brain's electrical signals via an EEG and specialized electrodes implanted into, or placed on, the surface of the head. Scientists can incorporate EEGs into “brain-machine interfaces,” that use brain waves to control…

I’m inconsistent at times when watering my plants. Now, however, I think I’ll reform. Researchers in Israel report that stressed tomato and tobacco plants, whether from dehydration or having their stems severed, emit sounds comparable in…

Researchers at Georgia Tech designed a driving simulation to investigate how intentional robot deception affects trust. They looked at the effectiveness of apologies to repair trust after robots lie. The paper, "Lying About Lying: Examining…

Network Assured just shared the results of a recent study that looked at which U.S. states have the highest number of identity theft per capita in the last 5 years. The study considered ID theft reports, losses incurred, and data breaches,…

Bees are fascinating. EPFL researchers just developed a temperature-modulating robotic system for seamless integration into honeybee hives for a never-before-seen view of honeybee behavior and a way to influence it. It's challenging to…

Phase change inks could transform how we heat and cool buildings, homes, and cars, reducing energy use and global greenhouse gas emissions. Research led by Dr. Mohamad Taha and published in The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Journal of…

Researchers at Flatiron Institute used artificial intelligence (AI) to estimate the mass of colossal clusters of galaxies. By adding a simple term to an existing equation, scientists can produce far better mass estimates than previously…

On March 29, 2023 (Beijing Time) at 2 am, the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and 40 research institutions worldwide released their discoveries on the brightest Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB 221009A)…

A research team at the Department of Joining Technology of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) developed a foundational technology to control the volume of molten metal in the process of 3D printing metal using welding. They…

The adoption of electric vehicles is causing a rise in demand for next-generation secondary batteries with higher capacity and faster charging than today’s lithium-ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are promising as rechargeable…

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) expanded its family of footprint-compatible ePower Stage ICs to boost power density and simplify design for power requirements in DC-DC apps, motor drives, and class-d audio amplifiers. The company…

AI is making its way virtually everywhere possible, and the European Court of Auditors is assessing taking action to support its development. The auditors will decide whether the European Commission’s plans and finances are conducive to…

Refractive lenses have been around forever—800 years, in fact. The basic architecture of lenses, however, may be changing. Metamaterials could revolutionize lensing systems. Conventional lenses rely on refraction at interfaces to focus…
