Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is.

The founders of internet search and digital advertising giant Google wrote in a 1998 paper that goals for online advertising "do not always correspond" to useful internet search results.

A team of engineers at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China has designed, built and independently tested an all-perovskite tandem solar cell with record efficiency. Their paper is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Electric car sales in Norway took a 94-percent share of the market in August—a new world record—statistics showed Monday, as sales in the rest of Europe stagnate.

Scientists say they have developed a structure that can absorb and reduce vibrations of engineering and mechanical gadgets more effectively than conventional systems hitherto used to contain the trembling of machines and devices across various industries.

Grant Jeide looked like another dude riding the rollicking waves left in the wake of a 23-foot (7-meter) boat ripping through the water at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour on a river in Northern California's Delta earlier this summer.

Solar cells based on perovskites, a versatile class of materials with promising optoelectronic properties, are gradually making their way toward commercialization. While these solar cells can have notable advantages over existing solar cell designs, including higher power conversion efficiencies and lower fabrication costs, their performance has been found to be significantly impaired in reverse bias conditions.

Ransomware attacks in the health care sector have more than doubled in the past five years. Among providers, hospitals experience the highest rate of operational disturbances including restricted access to servers, disrupted patient care and significant financial losses.

Most urban transit systems have a brief window of time in the wee hours of the morning to perform maintenance work without disrupting passenger service.

South Africa is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition: trying to decarbonize its economy (move away from coal) and make sure that everyone has access to reliable and affordable energy. Storage of renewable energy is very important for this transition. Solar and wind power are not available all the time. To keep the national grid stable, renewable energy must be stored somewhere and supplied reliably.

Rice University researchers have developed a smart material that adjusts its transparency with changes in temperature, outperforming similar materials in terms of durability, transparency and responsiveness. The new polymer blend could significantly enhance energy efficiency for indoor space cooling, according to a new study published in Joule.

The potential acquisition of Runergy by Tongwei raises concerns about market dynamics in the solar industry.

Xpeng's cheapest model is expected to grab share from top-selling offerings including the BYD Qin and Nissan’s Sylphy.

Using 3D printing technology and ultrasonic joining techniques, researchers at TU Graz have succeeded in attaining an extremely strong joining of a renewable raw material wood with metal and polymer composite.

The landing mishap ended a string of 267 successful booster recoveries.

Leading Chinese automaker BYD posted on Wednesday a 24.4 percent rise in net profit for the first half of 2024, boosted by continuing strong demand for electric cars in its home and overseas markets.

Advancements in the field of robotics are fueled by research, which in turn heavily relies on effective platforms to test algorithms for robot control and navigation. While numerous robotics platforms have been developed over the past decades, most of them have shortcomings that limit their use in research settings.

Organic redox-active molecules (ORAMs) are abundant and diverse, offering significant potential for cost-effective and sustainable energy storage, particularly in aqueous organic flow batteries (AOFBs). However, ensuring the stability of the ORAMs during the charge and discharge process is critical, as side reactions can deactivate them and eliminate their redox activity. Air stability remains a challenge for many ORAMs, complicating their practical use.

Hundreds of rows of gleaming panels blanket swathes of scrubby sand at sunset in a remote northern Chinese desert—once the biggest solar farm in the world.

Three times in the past four months, William Stein, a technology analyst at Truist Securities, has taken Elon Musk up on his invitation to try the latest versions of Tesla's vaunted "Full Self-Driving" system.
