Silicon transistors, which are used to amplify and switch signals, are a critical component in most electronic devices, from smartphones to automobiles. But silicon semiconductor technology is held back by a fundamental physical limit that […]

Artificial intelligence software initially designed to learn and analyze Martian terrain is now at the heart of a system to monitor assembly lines on Earth.This post was originally published on this site

A team of engineers and materials scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, in Saudi Arabia, working with a colleague from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie, in Germany, has developed a blade-coated […]

As the need for technologies to cut and dismantle reactors and internal structures increases due to the end of the operational lifespan of nuclear power plants, an innovative laser cutting technology for nuclear dismantlement has […]

Getting to the heart of causality is central to understanding the world around us. What causes one variable—be it a biological species, a voting region, a company stock, or a local climate—to shift from one […]

With the growing global demand for renewable energy, effectively storing and utilizing these intermittent energy sources has become a critical challenge. The adiabatic compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) system offers a viable solution for stabilizing […]

Relief carvings or relief sculptures are cultural heritage objects with figures that protrude from a background such as a wall or slab, creating a sense of depth. Commonly found at historical sites worldwide, these artworks […]

Left alone, the toy robots will skitter mindlessly across a tabletop and amuse small children and cats. But when engineers at Princeton paired the small toys with a flexible tether, the bots developed remarkable abilities. […]

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound device that can provide long-term, wireless monitoring of muscle activity with potential applications in health care and human-machine interfaces. Designed to stick […]

Imagine a sweater that powers electronics to monitor your health or charge your mobile phone while running. This development faces challenges because of the lack of materials that both conduct electricity stably and are well […]
