Renewables, already expanding at a record pace before the current energy crisis, are set to see strong growth across a wider range of countries around the world in the coming years as governments seek to strengthen energy security and reduce…
Tesla’s massive EV is the second within the last year to get the ax, while smaller vehicles are proliferating. It could be a huge benefit for the US battery supply chain.
A new polymer electrolyte to replace lithium ions in batteries is the result of research carried out by a team from the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering (DCMIC) "Giulio Natta" at Politecnico di Milano, which conceived and developed…
The growth of artificial intelligence has increased demand for more efficient data storage. Instead of adding bulk to satiate this appetite, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are working to increase memory capacity by manipulating materials' characteristics at the…
From intense UV radiation and extreme temperatures to wind gusts and lightning strikes, wind turbine blades are engineered to withstand some of the harshest conditions. But that durability becomes a problem at the end of their lives, because the blades…
As global demand for cooling continues to grow, the urgent need for sustainable refrigeration technologies is becoming increasingly evident. Conventional vapor-compression systems remain energy-intensive, while the refrigerants can contribute to the greenhouse effect. The Hong Kong University of Science and…
Is your new phone already slowing down or are your expensive earphones acting up?
When a process needs a burst of heat, a steady supply may not be enough. Storing thermal energy and delivering it quickly are challenges for applications such as sterilization, cleaning or starting up distillation systems. To solve the problem, Rice…
A special white paint developed at the University of South Florida could offer a new way to cool buildings, reduce energy consumption and lessen reliance on air conditioning. Created in the lab of Distinguished University Professor Yogi Goswami, the innovative…
The decision to wind down the EV comes after just a few short years of underwhelming sales. Elon Musk said the company will use the factory space to make more Cybercabs.
Engineers can 3D-print high-performance titanium parts for aircraft, medical implants and advanced machinery, but finding the right printing settings can still require costly and time-consuming trial and error. A new study shows how artificial intelligence could help narrow that search…
What happens when additive manufacturing meets target fabrication engineering? An impossibly small, submillimeter-scale cone that can be manufactured 10 times faster than before, enabling new target configurations for experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)'s National Ignition Facility (NIF).
The NFL has given Carnegie Mellon University researchers access to official film and on-field data to develop new technologies that can enhance the way coaches, players and fans annotate, analyze and understand games.
A research group from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a method for manufacturing flexible films that can effectively shield electromagnetic waves across a broad frequency range. The films can…
Serve Robotics announced alonsgside its third-quarter earnings that it will launch a new business line called Physical AI Services to offer customers its connectivity and data tools.
Scientists at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) in Campinas, São Paulo state, developed an instrument for the Sirius particle accelerator that can observe the interior of solar cells on a nanoscale while they are operating.…
According to projections, the volume of digital data created, captured, copied and consumed worldwide will reach 175 zettabytes (ZB) in 2026. This is equivalent to the storage capacity of billions of hard drives, such as those found in our laptops.…
Vitamin B12 is essential for the body's proper functioning and is found in foods of animal origin. It is produced by certain bacteria that, in addition to being found in nature, are cultivated at industrial facilities for commercial use, primarily…
