Two stacked layers comprise tandem solar cells (TSCs), with each subcell absorbing different wavelengths of sunlight, which makes TSCs more efficient than single-layer solar cells. All-perovskite TSCs hold great promise for next-generation photovoltaics, with a […]
Six years ago, Google was confident that by 2030 it would power all operations with electricity generated from clean sources, including wind and solar power, and remove as much pollution as it produced. Today it […]
Last week leading chipmaker Nvidia announced DLSS-5 (Deep Learning Super Sampling), a new artificial intelligence (AI) rendering tool it describes as a “breakthrough in visual fidelity for games.” The software takes low-resolution images and uses […]
The human brain constantly makes decisions. It requires minimal power to move bodies in a desired direction or avoid an object. A Purdue University engineer uses the brain’s efficiency as inspiration to help autonomous vehicles, […]
A KAIST research team has solved the “solar cell dilemma,” in which increasing efficiency shortens lifespan, while extending lifespan lowers efficiency. The team developed a technology to precisely control the internal structure of a surface […]
A landmark California verdict that found the social media company Meta and video-sharing service YouTube liable for the depression and mental health challenges of a young woman could be “the beginning of a tidal wave,” […]
As prices rise and the UK Government considers energy bill help once again, a new study warns that the country’s approach to energy support is structurally geared toward short-term crisis response rather than long-term solutions.This […]
An international research team has reported an artificial nociceptor system that captures the temperature-dependent threshold modulation of biological nociceptors. Published in Advanced Functional Materials under the title “Temperature-Modulated Threshold Response in a Volatile Memristor: Toward […]
On August 13, 2003, a single transmission line near Cleveland, Ohio, sags into an overgrown tree limb and short circuits. Within minutes, nearby lines overload and trip one after another, triggering cascading failures across grids […]
As a promising clean energy source, hydrogen (H2) requires reliable safety monitoring. However, lacking a permanent dipole moment, it is “infrared-inactive” and cannot be effectively measured by conventional absorption-based techniques. Although Raman spectroscopy can provide […]
