As we navigate the complex landscape of energy transition, a promising solution is emerging from an often overlooked source: our existing oil and gas infrastructure. While the need to move away from fossil fuels is clear, the path forward must be both workable and sustainable—technically, economically, and environmentally.

Dos de los principales actores de inteligencia artificial de San Francisco han desafiado al público a plantear preguntas capaces de probar las capacidades de grandes modelos de lenguaje (LLM) como Google Gemini y o1 de OpenAI.Scale AI, que se especializa en preparar grandes cantidades de datos en los que se capacitan los LLM, se asoció con el Centro para la seguridad de la IA (CAIS) para lanzar la iniciativa Humanity's Last Exam.

“This is definitely off the charts.”

A new study shows that electric vehicle tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act reduced pollution and boosted U.S. automakers, but largely benefited buyers who would have purchased EVs without subsidies.

New UBC research analyzing actual pedestrian interactions with vehicles on busy streets concludes that distracted pedestrians face higher safety risks compared with undistracted road users.

The growing use of collaborative robots in the workplace may pose significant psychosocial risks to workers' mental health and their job security, but there are ways for organizations to smooth the transition, according to research from the Monash University Business School.

Batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, with their performance hinging on the critical interface between the electrode and electrolyte. Penn State and industry researchers have developed a method to observe this interface at a higher resolution, which could potentially reveal new ways to improve battery efficiency and lifespan.

Scientists from the University of Sharjah believe they have created an artificial intelligence system that can automatically identify which Arabic dialect someone is speaking. The work is published in IEEE Xplore.

A team of scientists from the International Atomic Energy Agency arrived in Fukushima on Monday as part of an annual monitoring and sampling mission to ensure safety of the discharge of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea, officials said.

Forecasters predict Hurricane Milton will make landfall around the Tampa Bay area on Wednesday, bringing with it upwards of 120 mph winds.

Reliably tracking and manipulating the mammalian nervous system in laboratory or clinical settings allows neuroscientists to test their hypotheses, which may in turn lead to new important discoveries. The most well-established and widely used technologies for studying the brain utilize electrodes, devices that can monitor or stimulate electrical activity in their surroundings.

Plastic pollution is everywhere, and a good amount of it is composed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This polymer is used to make bottles, containers and even clothing. Now, researchers report in Environmental Science & Technology that they have discovered an enzyme that breaks apart PET in a rather unusual place: microbes living in sewage sludge. The enzyme could be used by wastewater treatment plants to break apart microplastic particles and upcycle plastic waste.

In a new Nature Communications study, researchers propose a new method for hydrogen storage using existing pipes located at the bottom of lakes and reservoirs.

Bigfoot is buzzing again after a TikTok went viral this week, with non-believers pointing and laughing ... but one Ph.D. expert on the subject tells TMZ the joke is on them.

Deadly flooding from Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina has disrupted the underground nests of yellow jackets, bees and other insects.

Urban air mobility (UAM) is a mode of transportation that avoids traffic congestion by flying people and cargo above it at low altitudes. It may sound like science fiction or something from the cartoon "The Jetsons," which depicted people going from place to place in flying cars. However, that concept is set to become a reality as electric flying taxis could begin operating in the U.S. as soon as 2025.

The UK government on Friday announced investment of nearly £22 billion ($28.8 billion) in projects to capture and store carbon emissions created by industry and energy production.

The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), one of the DEDALUS scientific partners, has completed a study on grouping residential electricity consumers, based on their historical electricity consumption, to create more targeted demand-response programs.

On average, Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors, and the air we breathe at work, school or home affects our overall health and well-being.

Researchers have developed a new method to improve both the performance and the stability of solar cells using "perovskite quantum dots." They developed longer-lasting solar cells by addressing the issue of distortions on the surface of quantum dots, which deteriorate the performance of solar cells.
