In facing life's many challenges, we often opt for complex approaches to finding solutions. Yet, upon closer examination, the answers are often simpler than we expect, rooted in the core "essence" of the issue. This approach was demonstrated by a research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in their publication on addressing the inherent issues of solid-state batteries.

Mechanical structures often suffer from vibrations that can compromise safety, comfort, and operational longevity. Traditional control methods, while effective, demand substantial energy and complex systems. The quest for efficient and sustainable alternatives has led to the exploration of piezoelectric materials. However, the limitations of current damping techniques necessitate an in-depth examination of novel approaches to achieve superior vibration suppression.

Mining is at a critical crossroads. The industry must supply more minerals and metals for the energy transition while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint across its processes. It also must address negative public perceptions of its operations.

The partial collapse of a roadway in Wyoming as a result of a landslide that occurred over the weekend raises serious questions about the state of the nation's infrastructure—echoing concerns aired recently over a range of issues, from frequent water main breaks to the Baltimore bridge collapse in March.

Speak a little too haltingly and with long pauses, and OpenAI's speech-to-text transcriber might put harmful, violent words in your mouth, Cornell researchers have discovered.

Together with industry partners, the University of Bremen has developed an innovative, AI-supported status monitoring system for port vehicles in the "KISS" research project. It uses state-of-the-art technologies to monitor the technical condition of vehicles in real time

Candy Crush Saga is one of the world's most popular video games, with more than 5 billion downloads. That's partly because gamers can play it anywhere. It offers versions for multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Windows: a practice known as multihoming.

Earlier this year, thousands of Democratic voters in New Hampshire received a telephone call ahead of the state primary, urging them to stay home rather than vote.

Apple announced a slew of new features for iOS 18 at Monday's developers conference event, many of which are designed to enhance the Siri assistant and bring artificial intelligence tools to iPhone users.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also demonstrated that this technique works with shape memory materials, allowing users to repeatedly lock the soft robots into a desired shape and return to the original shape as needed.

Mechanical engineers at the University of Alberta have teamed up with a renewable energy company to design and test wind turbines based on the wings of the world's heaviest soaring bird: the Andean condor, which is capable of flying up to 240 kilometers in a single day without flapping its wings.

Two children are playing with a set of toys, each playing alone. That kind of play involves a somewhat limited set of interactions between the child and the toy. But what happens when the two children play together using the same toys?

As the international community gathers to discuss Ukraine's post-war recovery, a new analysis led by the University of Oxford demonstrates that green steel should be top of the agenda.

Today's intelligent robots can accurately recognize many objects through vision and touch. Tactile information, obtained through sensors, along with machine learning algorithms, enables robots to identify objects previously handled.

The need to transition away from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy production is critical. That's why a team of Concordia researchers is looking at a potential power source that not only produces no carbon emissions but removes carbon as it works: algae.

Arctic shipping traffic is on the increase. One day, these ships will be autonomous. New technology that can remove rain, snow and fog from the images produced by the ship's cameras and sensors will increase safety in extreme conditions.

Raspberry Pi, maker of the eponymous budget computer sold worldwide, saw its shares jump Tuesday in their initial public offering (IPO) on the London stock market, sending the company's valuation surging.

On June 10, Chinese developer Game Science started the pre-sale of its upcoming action role-playing game Black Myth: Wukong, which sold out within

The news also comes as Li Auto started calling back some former staff late last month after it reportedly dismissed roughly 30% of its 1,100-person Autonomous Driving Group.

The stock price of Chinese livestreaming e-commerce company East Buy dropped 9% and closed at HKD 13.9 on Tuesday, fueled by its star livestreamer Dong
