Some of the greatest discoveries don't come merely from observations but from thinking. Einstein developed theories about relativity through thought experiments, and Galileo derived insights about gravity through mental simulations.

A new study by University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers demonstrates the effectiveness of homemade play putty at reading brain, heart, muscle and eye activity. Published in Device, the research outlines the conductive properties of this material, so-named "squishy circuits."

En medio de un brote de incendios forestales recientes en California, Google anunció un compromiso de gastar 13 millones de dólares para mejorar las imágenes satelitales para ayudar a rastrear y detectar incendios forestales, a partir del próximo año.

On Sept. 12, OpenAI announced a new ChatGPT model that the company says is substantially better at math and science than previous versions, which struggled with reasoning. An earlier model scored just 13% on the qualifying exam for the International Mathematical Olympiad (the top high school math competition). The new model, called "o1," raised that score to 83%.

La infraestructura a menudo sufre graves daños debido tanto a peligros geotécnicos naturales, como inundaciones o terremotos, como a peligros provocados por el hombre, como trabajos de construcción subterránea y excavaciones.

A study finds that ChatGPT expresses cultural values resembling people in English-speaking and Protestant European countries. Large language models, including ChatGPT, are trained on data that overrepresent certain countries and cultures, raising the possibility that the output from these models may be culturally biased.

Un descubrimiento hace seis años tomó por asalto el mundo de la física de la materia condensada: el carbono ultrafino apilado en dos capas ligeramente torcidas se convirtió en un superconductor, y cambiar el ángulo de torsión entre las capas podría alternar sus propiedades eléctricas.El histórico artículo de 2018 que describe las "superredes de grafeno de ángulo mágico" lanzó un nuevo campo llamado "twistrónica", y el primer autor era el entonces estudiante graduado del MIT y reciente becario junior de Harvard, Yuan Cao.

A key step toward reusing CO2 to make sustainable fuels is chaining carbon atoms together, and an artificial photosynthesis system developed at the University of Michigan can bind two of them into hydrocarbons with field-leading performance.

If all the high-voltage transmission currently under construction and in advanced stages of permitting is built by 2030 in the Western United States—enabling the construction of new renewable energy projects—carbon dioxide emissions in the Western United States would drop by 73% compared to 2005.

Inspired by the architecture of human bone's tough outer layer, engineers at Princeton have developed a cement-based material that is 5.6 times more damage-resistant than standard counterparts. The bio-inspired design allows the material to resist cracking and avoid sudden failure, unlike conventional, brittle cement-based counterparts.

A research team has pushed the boundaries of solar cell technology. On July 3, a new world record for perovskite solar cell performance set by Professor Xu's (University of Science and Technology of China [USTC]) team was announced with a certified stable efficiency of 26.7%. The work is published in the journal Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications.

NCM811 materials have been considered as the main cathode materials for high energy density Li-ion batteries. However, cracks of poly-crystalline NCM materials caused by stress accelerate the loss of active materials, limiting the life cycle. Hence, monitoring and understanding the chemo-mechanical evolution of NCM materials is of importance.

Imagine simply telling your vehicle, "I'm in a hurry," and it automatically takes you on the most efficient route to where you need to be.

A flexible screen inspired in part by squid can store and display encrypted images like a computer—using magnetic fields rather than electronics. The research is reported in Advanced Materials by University of Michigan engineers.

Ever been asked a question you only knew part of the answer to? To give a more informed response, your best move would be to phone a friend with more knowledge on the subject.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have made strides forward in realizing industrial conversion of bicarbonate solution made from captured carbon to a formate solution, a green fuel. The research is published in the journal EES Catalysis.

Many animal species, ranging from insects to amphibians and fish, use jumping as a means of moving within their surrounding environment. Jumping can be very advantageous for these animals, for instance, allowing them to reach higher branches of trees, swiftly escape from predators or move faster across long distances.

Deepfake videos generated by artificial intelligence grow increasingly difficult to identify as false, a challenge that could significantly skew the results of the upcoming presidential election.

Research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology may soon help solve a long-standing challenge in semiconductor manufacture: the accurate detection of surface defects on silicon wafers. Crystalline silicon is the critical material used in the production of integrated circuits and in order to provide the computing power for everyday electronics and advanced automotive systems needs to be as pristine as possible prior to printing of the microscopic features of the circuit on the silicon surface.

SUNY Poly Assistant Professor Dr. Mahmoud Badr and peers recently published research titled "Reinforcement Learning for Fair and Efficient Charging Coordination for Smart Grid," in the journal Energies. The research investigates the use of reinforcement learning (RL) to improve the coordination of home battery system charging in a smart grid.
