In response to the escalating demand for sustainable transportation solutions, researchers from the National Institute of Technology Silchar have developed a scheduling system for electric vehicles (EVs) that enhances power grid efficiency and accommodates the growing influx of solar energy. This advanced system, outlined in a recent study by Pritam Das and Partha Kayal, focuses on optimizing the charging and discharging times of EVs to better integrate with photovoltaic (PV) energy sources.

Heat pumps can not only be used efficiently in residential buildings, but also in industrial processes with heating and cooling requirements. This conclusion was reached by a team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE as part of the joint project "ETA in Existing Facilities."

Researchers at Huazhong University of Science and Technology have achieved a significant breakthrough in emotion recognition technology, introducing a novel system that could transform the way we interact with machines and monitor mental health. The new technology, known as Domain Generalization and Residual Network-Based Emotion Recognition from Physiological Signals (DGR-ERPS), leverages complex physiological signals to accurately determine human emotions.

TikTok said Tuesday it has taken steps to stop a cyberattack targeting high-profile accounts, including one belonging to CNN.

A team of researchers based at the University of Waterloo have created a new tool—nicknamed "RAGE"—that reveals where large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are getting their information and whether that information can be trusted.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have developed a model that enables computers to interpret and understand human emotions, utilizing principles of mathematical psychology.

Accurate time-keeping is essential for satellite navigation, as even minor time deviations can result in significant positioning errors. Traditional systems rely heavily on ground-based atomic clocks, which pose risks of service interruptions. Due to these challenges, advanced research is necessary to develop more reliable and autonomous satellite time-keeping systems.

Billions of euros are flooding into the cloud industry in Europe, with US tech giants constructing vast data centers all around the continent.

If you ask an AI image generator to give you a picture of something, the results can range from appropriate to clueless to downright offensive. It's particularly bad for cultures that aren't well represented in the Internet's data.

A group of OpenAI's current and former workers is calling on the ChatGPT-maker and other artificial intelligence companies to protect whistleblowing employees who flag safety risks about AI technology.

A study conducted by researchers at the Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Advanced Robotics, Soochow University, presents the development of a highly sensitive and responsive mechanosensor. This novel device is inspired by the ultrasensitive trigger hairs found in Venus flytraps, known for their rapid response to external stimuli. The study was published in the latest issue of Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

When robots come across unfamiliar objects, they struggle to account for a simple truth: Appearances aren't everything. They may attempt to grasp a block, only to find out it's a literal piece of cake. The misleading appearance of that object could lead the robot to miscalculate physical properties like the object's weight and center of mass, using the wrong grasp and applying more force than needed.

A team of computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians and cognitive scientists, led by the University of Cambridge, have developed an open-source evaluation platform called CheckMate, which allows human users to interact with and evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs).

Major London hospitals canceled some operations on Tuesday after a cyber-attack on a key service supplier had a "major impact", particularly on blood transfusions, according to internal memos posted on social media.

A privacy campaign group in Austria filed two complaints Tuesday against Microsoft, saying its education software that is widely used in schools violates data protection rights for children.

Created by nature, the human skin shows powerful sensing capabilities that have been pursued by scientists for a very long time. However, it is challenging for today's technologies to replicate the spatial arrangement of the complex 3D microstructure of human skin.

Aerogels, known for their porosity and low density, are solid materials that offer versatile functionality—from gobbling up fat globules in weight-management supplements to facilitating more sustainable metal-recycling processes.

New Hampshire voters received a barrage of robocalls in which a computer-generated imitation of President Biden discouraged them from voting in the January primary. While the admitted mastermind was slapped with felony charges and a proposed FCC fine, his deed is just one wound left by the cutting-edge technology law enforcement is struggling to catch up with: artificial intelligence.

When Michael Bommer found out that he was terminally ill with colon cancer, he spent a lot of time with his wife, Anett, talking about what would happen after his death.

US chip titan Intel on Tuesday struck a defiant tone in the face of strong challenges from rivals Nvidia, AMD and Qualcomm, unveiling technologies it said would lead the artificial intelligence revolution.
