During a major storm event that eventually cut power to tens of thousands of homes, a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) were able to feed power back into Australia's electricity grid, according to a new report from The Australian National University (ANU).

UAB (University of Barcelona) researchers were involved in the development of a switch, an essential device in telecommunications, capable of operating at very high frequency with lower power consumption than conventional technologies. The technology has applications in the new 6G mass communication systems and is more sustainable in terms of energy consumption than current devices. The study was published recently in Nature Electronics.

Rechargeable solid-state lithium batteries are an emerging technology that could someday power cell phones and laptops for days with a single charge. Offering significantly enhanced energy density, they are a safer alternative to the flammable lithium-ion batteries currently used in consumer electronics—but they are not environmentally friendly.

AI can help humanitarians gain crucial insights to better monitor and anticipate risks, such as a conflict outbreak or escalation. But deploying systems in this context is not without risks for those affected, a new study warns.

A new study introduces a user preference mining algorithm that leverages data mining and social behavior analysis to bolster brand building efforts. This innovative approach aims to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in understanding and engaging with their consumer base more effectively.

Backscatter communication (BackCom) is a promising low-power method for the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, where connected devices reflect and modulate existing signals by altering their load impedance, rather than generating signals themselves.

As a former tech lead at Meta, Shaomei Wu, Ph.D. '12, found she had to work extra hard to get her points across in large online meetings. She stutters, which combined with her gender and racial identity, made it challenging to claim and hold the floor. She began doing research with the stuttering community to find out how fellow stutterers felt about dominant communication technologies and the new barriers they introduced.

A recent study delves into the trust and engagement of Cameroonian software developers in open-source projects, offering critical insights into the collaborative software development landscape. The findings underscore the importance of recognizing cultural and social specificities to enhance involvement and contributions from African developers in open-source communities.

New research has revealed why German firms are refusing to join the United States' tech trade war with China over semiconductor chips, a key component in modern electrical devices.

A team led by Prof. Wu Zhengyan and Zhang Jia from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has synthesized a versatile, broad-spectrum Fe/Cu primary battery-based nanocomposite with photo-induced protonation effect to immobilize diverse heavy metal ions. This system has a large number of active sites, which makes it have a strong trapping and immobilization effect on highly-stable heavy metal ions (HMIs).

While not yet on the market, fully autonomous vehicles are promoted as a way to make road travel dramatically safer, but a recent study found that knowing more about them did not improve people's perception of their risk. They needed to have more trust in them too.

Chatbots powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can pass a cybersecurity exam, but don't rely on them for complete protection.
