研究人員開發了一種新方法，利用「鈣鈦礦量子點」來提高太陽能電池的性能和穩定性。他們透過解決量子點表面的變形問題來開發更耐用的太陽能電池，這種變形會降低太陽能電池的性能。

TikTok 最新的健康混合物被稱為“腎上腺”或“皮質醇雞尾酒”，用戶聲稱它可以減輕壓力，甚至有助於減肥。我們請專家來評斷。

在哥倫比亞波哥大長大的馬特奧·杜爾塞·盧比奧每隔幾天就會聽到一個熟悉的新聞故事——有人踩到了另一個地雷。爆炸導致他們死亡或受傷。雖然首都遠離戰亂地區，但這些事故一直留在他的腦海裡。

谷歌正在開發類似於人類推理能力的人工智慧軟體，類似於 OpenAI 的 o1，這標誌著這家科技巨頭和這家快速發展的新創公司之間的競爭開闢了新戰線。

在摩洛哥西部的貝杜扎小漁村，當地人轉向大西洋解渴，利用移動海水淡化站來應對該國持續的乾旱。

想像一下，您的任務是派遣一隊足球員到球場上評估草地狀況（當然，這對他們來說可能是一項任務）。如果你隨機選擇他們的位置，他們可能會在某些區域聚集在一起，而完全忽略其他區域。但如果你給他們一個策略，例如在田野上均勻分佈，你可能會更準確地了解草地狀況。

As internet usage becomes an integral part of our daily lives, many people rely on various online sources for information. While the internet offers greater convenience and a wider range of news sources, the spread of false information has become one of the biggest challenges of this century, exacerbated by the rise of generative artificial intelligence. The spread of false information—whether in the form of mis-, dis- and mal-information (MDM)—can lead individuals and organizations to make harmful decisions, and has been shown to create societal divisions on critical and contentious issues.

Increasingly occurring GPS jamming in Finland disrupts daily civilian activities, posing major navigational challenges. A new patented method using low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas addresses these location vulnerability issues, presenting means for precise navigation even where traditional global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) fail. This breakthrough was verified in a recent doctoral dissertation by Mahmoud Elsanhoury, from the University of Vaasa.

From electrical fields to ultrasound waves, the growing science of brain stimulation could launch a new era of meditation research. It might move us beyond self-care, stress, and depression.

Climate change has been viewed almost universally as a burden, a hot potato to be passed from country to country at annual climate change conferences. Although it's widely known that climate-friendly solar and wind energy have become cheaper and easier to produce, most don't realize that they are very likely to get even less expensive and grow quickly. That will have enormous political and business consequences, creating not just hazards but also tremendous opportunities.

A combined team of bio researchers and roboticists from Brigham and Women's Hospital, in the U.S., and the iPrint Institute, in Switzerland, has developed a tiny swimming robot using human motor neurons and cardiomyocytes grown to emulate muscle tissue.

Fraunhofer researchers and their partners have developed an innovative and eco-friendly method of producing soda, essential for a wide range of industries, in the Green Soda project. The process is based on bipolar electrodialysis of brine. Ion exchange processes and the addition of carbon dioxide result in green soda. The technology will also help to strengthen manufacturing in Germany as an industrial location.

A team of Vanderbilt researchers has developed novel technology called electrochemical ion pumping (EIP) that could revolutionize the treatment of water and resource extraction.

The further development and evolution of existing storage systems is a key prerequisite for the energy transition. The Center for Digitalized Battery Cell Manufacturing (ZDB) at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA and acp systems AG have joined forces to commission a winding system for cylindrical battery cells featuring flexible formats and design.

The sluggish rate of progress made in the energy transition is putting the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050 at risk. On the positive side, with early warning indicators guiding timely and targeted interventions, we can accelerate progress across several domains.

南京大學的工程師團隊與加州大學柏克萊分校的兩位同事合作，開發出了一種從鹹水中提取鋰的新方法。

One of the more promising classes of materials for next-generation batteries and electronic devices are the organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors, OMIECs for short. These soft, flexible polymer semiconductors have promising electrochemical qualities, but little is known about their molecular microstructure and how electrons move through them—an important knowledge gap that will need to be addressed to bring OMIECs to market.

Too warm with a jacket on but too cold without it? Athletic apparel brands boast temperature-controlling fabrics that adapt to every climate with lightweight but warm products. Yet, consider a fabric that you can adjust to fit your specific temperature needs.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday inaugurated US firm IBM's first quantum data center in Europe, saying Germany aims to be at the forefront of the revolutionary technology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to permeate many facets of the human experience. AI is not just a tool for analyzing data—it's transforming the way we communicate, work and live. From ChatGPT through to AI video generators, the lines between technology and parts of our lives have become increasingly blurred.
