New research has answered the mystery of how the Crystal Palace in London, which at the time was the world's largest building, was constructed in only 190 days.

Sharing infrastructure for transporting and storing captured carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across multiple industrial facilities could cut costs by more than 60% and reduce pipeline buildout by more than 75% in Louisiana, according to new research led by engineers at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.

Researchers have found that AI large language models, like GPT-4, are better at predicting what comes next than what came before in a sentence. This "Arrow of Time" effect could reshape our understanding of the structure of natural language, and the way these models understand it.

New Zealand's current electricity supply crisis requires immediate solutions.

Researchers from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a novel autofocus method that harnesses the power of deep learning to dynamically select regions of interest in grayscale images. The study was published in the journal Sensors.

Si te preocupa el medio ambiente, piénsalo dos veces antes de utilizar la IA.La inteligencia artificial generativa utiliza 30 veces más energía que un motor de búsqueda tradicional, advierte la investigadora Sasha Luccioni, en su misión de concienciar sobre el impacto medioambiental de la nueva tecnología de moda.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has notoriously struggled to create consistent images, often getting details like fingers and facial symmetry wrong. Moreover, these models can completely fail when prompted to generate images at different image sizes and resolutions.

Tropical Storm Ileana made landfall on the coast of the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

Splashdown northwest of Key West, Florida, will close out a mission highlighted by the first non-government civilian spacewalk.

The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to process large amounts of data has increased the need for better performing memory devices. The data storage solutions that could help to meet the computational demands of AI include so-called high-bandwidth memories, technologies that can increase the memory bandwidth of computer processors, speeding up the transfer of data and reducing power consumption.

EPFL scientist Sascha Nick has outlined a completely new scenario for what housing and neighborhoods might look like in Switzerland in the coming decades. His recommendations would put the country on track to meet its net-zero target while supporting the well-being of residents and communities.

As the global demand for energy storage solutions grows, the limitations of current lithium-ion batteries, such as safety concerns and high costs, have driven the exploration of alternative technologies. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as a promising candidate due to their inherent safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. However, challenges like zinc dendrite growth continue to hinder their widespread adoption. Due to these challenges, there is a pressing need to delve deeper into innovative solutions to improve AZIB performance.

U-Net, a convolutional neural network (CNN) originally intended for medical use, can potentially make waves in the ocean remote sensing field

Existing global energy projections underestimate the impact of climate change on urban heating and cooling systems by roughly 50% by 2099 if greenhouse gas emissions remain high, researchers report. This disparity could profoundly affect critical sustainable energy planning for the future.

Low-orbit satellites could soon offer millions of people worldwide access to high-speed communications, but the satellites' potential has been stymied by a technological limitation—their antenna arrays can only manage one user at a time.

With global demand for lithium-ion batteries fast depleting reserves of raw materials, experts are seeking safe, affordable and reliable alternatives for rechargeable batteries.

Most rechargeable batteries that power portable devices, such as toys, handheld vacuums and e-bikes, use lithium-ion technology. But these batteries can have short lifetimes and may catch fire when damaged.

A technology that can directly charge a battery from a smartphone screen has emerged. A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a method of supplying energy directly from glass of buildings, cars, and mobile devices through transparent solar cells. The study is published in PNAS.

La interfaz entre electrodos y electrolitos contribuye en gran medida a la eficiencia con la que las baterías convierten la energía.En los últimos años, muchos esfuerzos destinados a desarrollar baterías de mejor rendimiento se han centrado en adaptar la interfaz electrodo/electrolito para aumentar la densidad energética de las baterías recargables, en particular las baterías de litio-metal (LMB).
