A new research development, published in Nature Communications, from Queen Mary University of London paves the way for faster discovery of novel perovskite materials with desirable properties for applications in wireless communication and biosensors. Perovskites are a class of materials with a wide range of potential uses, but the vast number of possible chemical compositions makes traditional discovery methods slow and labor-intensive.

As NASA continues cutting-edge aeronautics research, the agency is also taking steps to make sure the benefits from these diverse technologies are greater than the sum of their parts.

When ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence can produce scientific articles that look real—especially to someone outside that field of research—what's the best way to figure out which ones are fake?

The integration of subcarrier modulated signals into Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), has brought forth new layers of complexity in signal acquisition and tracking, stemming from their distinctive structure. Although these signals promise enhanced spectral compatibility and superior ranging precision, they also introduce ambiguity threats to the stability of standard GNSS operations.

A team of researchers from Nagoya University in Japan has developed a loop heat pipe (LHP) that can transport up to 10 kW of heat without the need for electricity. This heat transport capability is the largest in the world.

DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century.

A team led by Professor Lee Joo-hyuk of the Department of Energy Engineering at DGIST has developed an ionic polyurethane-based triboelectric generator with self-healing, biodegradable, and high electro-positive properties. The work is published in the journal Nano Energy.

The explosive growth of AI "chatbots" over the last few years and their ability to generate text that simulates human writing, often very accurately, has focused attention on how text is structured.

Perovskite materials are significant for enhancing the development and performance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, there are certain technological limitations in advancing overall device efficiency, brightness and lifetime, with the operational stability of perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) remaining a major challenge.

The recent widespread and long-lasting chaos caused by Microsoft outages across the globe exemplifies just how integral computing has become to our lives. Yet, as computer hardware and software improve, arguably the most sophisticated and powerful computer we know of is still the human brain.

The explosive technological growth that we've witnessed over the past few decades has set the stage for the development of smart cities, whose purpose is to empower citizens in urban areas through various services. By sensing the inside and/or outside of various urban spaces, smart cities can help with tasks such as routing, logistics, traffic management, crime prevention, and many more.

Computers work in digits—0s and 1s, to be exact. Their calculations are digital; their processes are digital; even their memories are digital. All of which require extraordinary power resources. As we look to the next evolution of computing and developing neuromorphic or "brain-like" computing, those power requirements are unfeasible.

The wing dynamics of flying animal species have been the inspiration for numerous flying robotic systems. While birds and bats typically flap their wings using the force produced by their pectoral and wing muscles, the processes underlying the wing movements of many insects remain poorly understood.

The recent failure of a deal to deliver hydrogen-powered trucks to New Zealand, and the removal of a NZ$100 million government rebate scheme for green hydrogen users in the 2024 budget, make a transition to the much-lauded energy technology increasingly less certain.

A research team led by engineers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science is the first to explore how an emerging plant-based material, cellulose nanofibrils, could amplify the benefits of 3D-printed concrete technology.

Technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive solution to help achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research in PNAS Nexus.

The "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico has created more than 4 million acres of habitat with little to no oxygen that could kill marine life.

Nickel-based alloys, critical materials used in many advanced nuclear reactors, come with unwanted baggage. Aside from being very expensive, nickel ore is mined in politically sensitive parts of the world. The ore also has a high moisture content that can pose safety issues for those transporting the ore in cargo ships because the cargo can slosh around and create a load imbalance.

An international team of infectious disease researchers with the World Mosquito Program, working with colleagues from WeRobotics, has developed a way to release large numbers of mosquitoes infected with a mosquito-killing bacteria into the wild much more efficiently than current methods.

More than almost any other substance on Earth, lithium (Li) is valued as a 21st century treasure. But Australia's race to unlock its lithium is challenged by political and economic headwinds both global and domestic.
