Good electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices such as rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors can store a lot of energy and release it quickly, but these design goals are often at odds with each other. Using design […]
Modern communication networks must handle ever-growing volumes of data, driven by cloud services, connected devices, and real-time applications. At the same time, they face a critical constraint: keeping energy consumption as low as possible. Today, […]
This past winter, people in Trondheim caught glimpses of a boat that seemed to fly over the water out on the fjord. Many also took part in test trips. NTNU researchers have investigated what it […]
For nearly a month, a Croatian company has been rolling out what it says is Europe’s first robotaxi service on the streets of Zagreb, with AFP among the first journalists to try it on Tuesday.This […]
Building upon the chemistry that oysters use in miles-long reefs, scientists have found a way to create cement that is stronger and cures faster. Jonathan Wilker, a professor of chemistry in Purdue University’s College of […]
Hydrology experts at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) used artificial intelligence and a physics-based understanding of streamflow to create a model that provides highly accurate predictions of river temperatures, […]
Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini, and similar conversational platforms, are now used daily by many people worldwide. As these models can rapidly answer queries about most topics, […]
In 1985, the Innovative Design Fund placed an ad in Scientific American offering up to $10,000 to support clever prototypes for clothing, home decor, and textiles. William Freeman Ph.D., then an electrical engineer at Polaroid […]
Amazon announced Monday it is opening up its massive shipping and delivery network to any business that wants to use it—not just the merchants who sell on Amazon’s website.This post was originally published on this […]
At high speeds, even the smallest movement can have major consequences. When an aircraft tilts sharply during flight, the air around it does not flow smoothly. It twists into powerful, swirling currents that can destabilize […]
