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.

Back-slapping over record passenger figures is tinged with frustration at the airline trade body's annual meeting as carriers lament years-long delays to deliveries of new Boeing aircraft.

Wildly popular social network TikTok approved adverts containing political disinformation ahead of European polls, a report showed Tuesday, flouting its own guidelines and raising questions about its ability to detect election falsehoods.

TSMC's board of directors on Tuesday unanimously elected chief executive CC Wei to succeed Mark Liu as chairman of the chip titan.

Floating solar photovoltaic panels could supply all the electricity needs of some countries, new research has shown.

Russia is waging an intense disinformation campaign aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the International Olympic Committee and stoking fears of violence at this summer's Paris Games, according to a new report from Microsoft's Threat Analysis Center.

Apple is in the best position to make a difference in the public perception of Artificial Intelligence and how it's used at home, on mobile, and everywhere — and the regular folks that routinely peddle false narratives about the company are already taking poorly-aimed potshots at the company and the effort like they always have.

The world of robotics is witnessing a transformative shift with the rise of soft robotics, which offers unparalleled flexibility and adaptability in various applications, from medical interventions to intricate rescue operations.

A research group at Osaka University has developed an innovative positioning system by correctly aligning the coordinates of the real and virtual worlds without the need to define routes in advance. This is achieved by integrating two vision-based self-location estimation methods: visual positioning systems (VPS) and natural feature-based tracking.

Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, has updated its rules to officially allow adult and graphic content on the platform.

General Motors has promoted two former Apple executives to run its software and services operations as it ramps up efforts to develop and market electric, autonomous and connected vehicles.

A major Australian study of worker experience of AI has found workers are being ignored in the development of new tools and processes, leaving them, their employers, and the broader public exposed to increased risks and missed opportunities.

A team of researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has introduced an innovative human-following surveillance robot designed to assist individuals with lower limb muscle weakness, a condition prevalent among the elderly and those suffering from neurological and motor system diseases. This cutting-edge technology promises to enhance daily mobility and accelerate recovery, offering a significant boost to rehabilitation efforts.

Whether it is coincidence or careful planning, the infrastructures of both power systems and telecommunications are heading in a similar direction: toward the edge. Solar panels on a roof are like 5G towers in a neighborhood—in both cases, distributed assets increasingly underpin these important systems.

Precision is paramount in high-stakes industries such as aerospace, electronics, and medical devices, where traditional polishing techniques fall short. The rise of magnetorheological (MR) polishing technology offers a beacon of efficiency and quality, crucial for overcoming the limitations of conventional methods. The quest for enhanced processing precision and efficiency has never been more pertinent, spurring the necessity for intensive research into MR polishing advancements.

Some parts of the world have been so successful in making inexpensive renewable electricity that we occasionally have too much of it. One possible use for that low-cost energy: Converting carbon dioxide into fuel and other products using a device called a membrane-electrode assembly.

"Nextdoor" is the world's largest hyperlocal social media network, used by 13% of American adults. Yet little is known about the make-up of the actual neighborhoods—numbering approximately 220,000 across the United States—in which these accounts exist and what people in those communities talk about on the platform.
