University of Queensland geochemist Dr. Amelia Corzo-Remigio said powerful X-rays confirmed crops in the Brassicaceae family had strong “phytomining” potential because of the mechanisms they evolved to extract traces of the metal thallium from polluted […]
It’s estimated that more than half of all U.S. teens are regularly using companion chatbots powered by large language models and generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The programs, such as Character.AI, Replika and Kindroid, are […]
Prolonged scrolling is bad for your well-being, but is it also physically tiring? Until now, we haven’t really been able to say. This is why researchers from Aalto and Leipzig Universities created a new AI […]
Silicon has long been seen as a promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more lithium than graphite. But silicon also expands and contracts sharply during charging and discharging, which […]
