The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and SoftBank Corp. have jointly developed a model capable of predicting the cycle lives of high-energy-density lithium-metal batteries by applying machine learning methods to battery performance data. The work is published in the journal Advanced Science.

As remote work became standard around the world during the COVID pandemic, employee surveillance rapidly intensified. Companies started deploying software to electronically monitor their employees' web browsing history, emails and webcams—all in the name of ensuring continued productivity.

Elon Musk recently announced that he was relocating the companies SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter) from their current headquarters in California to Texas. The news has placed a spotlight on the rise in big tech shifting its operations to the Lone Star state, with Austin emerging as a main hub.

Porous media play a critical role in various industrial fields due to their complex pore networks and considerable specific surface areas. The transport and reaction phenomena within porous media are key factors influencing fundamental parameters such as energy storage efficiency, catalytic performance, and adsorption rates.

On a research cruise around Hawaii in 2018, Yuening Zhang SM '19, Ph.D. '24 saw how difficult it was to keep a tight ship. The careful coordination required to map underwater terrain could sometimes lead to a stressful environment for team members, who might have different understandings of which tasks must be completed in spontaneously changing conditions.

Cascadeur is a standalone software for 3D keyframe animation of humanoids or other characters. Never before making animation from scratch or editing one has been so easy and fun. Thanks to its AI-assisted tools, you can make key poses really fast, instantly see the physical results and adjust secondary motion. All while retaining full control at any point.

Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have developed increasingly flexible, versatile and highly performing devices for a wide range of real-world applications. Some of their efforts have been aimed at creating smart and sensing textiles, which could be used to fabricate stretchy robotic systems, medical devices and wearable technologies.

The European Commission said Tuesday it plans to slap five-year import duties of up to 36 percent on Chinese electric cars, unless Beijing can offer an alternative solution to the damaging trade row over state subsidies.

AMD is buying server maker ZT Systems in a cash-and-stock deal worth $4.9 billion as the chipmaker strengthens its artificial intelligence capacity in its efforts to compete with Nvidia.

Luckin Coffee on Monday introduced a dedicated Americano for the upcoming release of the game Black Myth: Wukong, offering the originally priced RMB 29

The increase in high-rise and densely populated urban development has heightened the demand for safety and resilience solutions against emergencies, such as fires. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has created advanced technological solutions to enhance firefighting and urban resilience.

Currently, industrial processes in the U.S. account for approximately a third of the country's carbon dioxide emissions—even more than the annual emissions from passenger vehicles, trucks, and airplanes combined. Decarbonizing this sector is a challenging but vital step in mitigating impacts on our future climate.

After becoming mainstream in 2023, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is now transforming the way we live.

Less than two years ago, the launch of ChatGPT started a generative AI frenzy. Some said the technology would trigger a fourth industrial revolution, completely reshaping the world as we know it.

Default privacy settings in popular mobile apps seem like a convenience, allowing you to use a single setting to control the level of privacy—who can see which actions you take—across all of the app's functions. But default privacy settings are also a potential risk to your privacy.

The latest advancements in smartphone positioning technology were put to the test in a recent study. Focusing on the multi-frequency Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities of the Redmi K60 Ultra, the study evaluated performance across various scenarios, demonstrating significant improvements in positioning accuracy, speed, and reliability. These developments mark a crucial step forward in high-precision positioning for consumer devices, leveraging Assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) services to enhance everyday navigation experiences.

Artificial intelligence (AI) prophets and newsmongers are forecasting the end of the generative AI hype, with talk of an impending catastrophic "model collapse."

Best Buy customers can now get up-to-the-minute updates to find out when that big-screen television will be delivered or when a new fridge will arrive for installation thanks to AI technology.

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles greatly relies on the development of robust and fast-charging battery technologies that can support their continuous operation for long periods of time. One proposed energy storage solution to improve the endurance of electric vehicles entails the use of so-called structural batteries.

Four years ago this week, California's power grid was so strained by a heat wave that rolling blackouts hit hundreds of thousands of residents over two days. It nearly happened again two years ago, when state officials issued 11 "flex alerts" asking businesses and homeowners to voluntarily reduce electricity use to avoid power disruptions.
