The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Human Technology Institute outlines a model law in a recent report for facial recognition technology to protect against harmful use and to help foster innovation. Facial recognition and other…

Researchers created a metasurface device that can display three types of images depending on illumination. They envision that the three-channel device can be instrumental as an anti-counterfeiting measure or in delivering encrypted…

Vietnam’s first global EV maker, VinFast, and Renesas Electronics Corporation announced that the two companies are expanding their collaboration agreement to include automotive technology—development of electric vehicles (EVs) and delivery…

A significant challenge for undersea exploration is powering underwater cameras. Researchers can tether it to their vessel or send a ship and diver to recharge its batteries. MIT researchers are overcoming the challenge, developing a…

Strength and durability are paramount for nuclear power plants and various critical technologies, so many contain a remarkably strong and corrosion-resistant alloy called 17-4 precipitation hardening (PH) stainless steel. Now 17-4 PH steel…

Researchers at the Flatiron Institute trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations and without sacrificing accuracy. The physicists compressed a daunting quantum…

A new nanophotonic material just broke records for high-temperature stability. Implications are that the material may enable more efficient electricity production and new possibilities in controlling and converting thermal radiation. The…

I love it when researchers exhibit a sense of humor. This news piece made me laugh. Duke University researchers created an encryption method based on patterns created by bacteria growing in a petri dish. The encryption above reads, "Be Sure…

Charging your EV in the evening or overnight? A new Stanford study says we're doing it wrong. The study focused on the western United States but can work with an array of populations. They published their findings in Nature Energy.…

According to research by the University of Tokyo, Japan, adding robotic eyes to autonomous vehicles can save lives. During the study, participants worked in virtual reality (VR) and needed to determine whether to cross the road in front…
