The latest PS5 update adds a bunch of new features.

Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 on Monday, a device designed around Apple Intelligence, the company's generative artificial intelligence (AI) offering. This new feature promises a highly personalized experience that goes beyond AI, but what does that mean for avid iPhone users? As AI continues to appear in our everyday lives, what do consumers need to be aware of?

From search-and-rescue missions to orthopedic therapy and many other applications, soft robots and wearable electronic devices show great promise for many fields. However, designing them to be functional and practical to use has proved challenging.

A team of roboticists at the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics finds that combining traditional internal force-torque sensors with machine-learning algorithms can give robots a new way to sense touch.

An Irish regulator helping to police European Union data privacy launched an investigation Thursday into Google's artificial intelligence development.

Recent technological advances have enabled the development of a wide range of electronic devices designed to improve people's quality of life and assist them in completing their everyday activities. Most existing devices are operated via touch screens, keyboards, mouse pads and other hand-based interfaces.

Imagine a set of flexible tactile sensors that adheres to the surface of your skin, offering customizable detection of biomechanical signals from various body parts. That fiction-like supermaterial is close to becoming reality thanks to recent research.

European Union regulators said Thursday they're looking into one of Google's artificial intelligence models over concerns about its compliance with the bloc's strict data privacy rules.

3D printing is set to revolutionize European manufacturing, producing complex, multilayered components for everything from toys and cars to wind turbines and satellites.

As high-tech companies ramp up construction of massive data centers to meet the business boom in artificial intelligence, one component is becoming an increasingly rare commodity: electricity.

For hydrogen technology to become a key to the energy transition, it needs to take a decisive step forward toward broad application. The main factors holding back this longed-for breakthrough, however, are the high costs of expensive materials and complex manufacturing processes for fuel cells and electrolyzers.

An iconic red shuttle bus ferries commuters and visitors along the winding streets of New York City's Roosevelt Island. But this isn't a typical sightseeing tour.

When a hurricane strikes, the most vulnerable are not always able to get out in time. UT Austin scientists are using supercomputers at the Texas Advanced Computing (TACC) to study how shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) can get people who do not have their own car into shelters out of harm's way.

Cornell University researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal "metasheet," but with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

Proper power grounding systems are necessary for maintaining the safety and reliability of critical electrical subsystem infrastructure, such as substations. Power grounding systems provide a low-resistance path for electrical fault currents to flow into the earth, preventing electrical shocks, fires, and damage to vital equipment. Investigation of soil resistivity is crucial for designing power grounding systems.

A research team led by Prof. Ye Hong from the University of Science and Technology of China has developed an alumina ceramic bionic wick with finger-like pores inspired by the stomatal array of natural leaves. Their research is published in Langmuir.

As the demand for energy storage diversifies, the limitations of lithium supplies drive a shift toward alternative technologies. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc-ion batteries emerge as promising contenders, yet face challenges in capacity, charge-discharge rate, and stability. This backdrop underscores the need for innovative approaches like carrier pre-intercalation to elevate the electrochemical performance of electrode materials.

When misleading information spreads online, it can spread fast.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have designed an energy-efficient device that produces drinking water from seawater using an evaporation process driven largely by the sun.

Researchers at Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology at the University of Nottingham have developed ultra-thin soft robots, designed for exploring narrow spaces in challenging built environments. The research is published in the journal Nature Communications.
