Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by linking the natural warmth around us to the cold depths of space. The invention could be […]
Aviation currently contributes about 2.5% of total global carbon emissions, and with air travel demand expected to double by 2040, cutting those emissions has become a pressing priority. One path forward is sustainable aviation fuel, […]
Major Western ride-hailing platforms like Uber and Lyft sketched a gradual path toward introducing self-driving cars at this week’s Web Summit in Lisbon, with infrastructure, developing regulation and passengers’ preference for human contact weighing on […]
Artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced a $50 billion investment in computing infrastructure on Wednesday that will include new data centers in Texas and New York.This post was originally published on this site.
Can we really trust artificial intelligence to illustrate our ideas? A team of scientists has examined the capabilities of Midjourney and DALL·E—two Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) software programs—to produce images from simple sentences. The verdict […]
Technological innovations can seem relentless. In computing, some have proclaimed that “a year in machine learning is a century in any other field.” But how do you know whether those advancements are hype or reality?This […]
Picture an electric car that could go 600, 700 or even 1,000 miles on a single charge. That’s much farther than the longest-range electric vehicles on the U.S. market, according to Car and Driver magazine—and […]
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a method to automate the calibration of heavy-duty diesel truck emissions control systems using machine learning and algorithm-based optimization. The latest diesel aftertreatment systems often take weeks to calibrate. […]
We’ve heard a lot of talk about critical minerals recently. These are the metals and elements crucially important to the advanced technologies we have all become accustomed to: our mobile phones, electric vehicles (EVs), our […]
Electronic signs are all around us, giving directions or advertising the latest gadget. In ACS Energy Letters, researchers report that they’ve developed a dynamic display technology that dissipates heat instead of generating it when the […]
