UCLA materials scientists have developed a compact cooling technology that can pump away heat continuously using layers of flexing thin films. The design is based on the electrocaloric effect, in which an electric field causes […]
Water droplets under freezing conditions do not spontaneously detach from surfaces as they do at room temperature due to stronger droplet-surface interaction and lack of an energy transformation pathway. Since accumulated droplets or ice have […]
Imec, a research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, has announced a significant milestone in silicon photonics with the successful demonstration of electrically driven GaAs-based multi-quantum-well nano-ridge laser diodes fully, monolithically fabricated on […]
AI applications like ChatGPT are based on artificial neural networks that, in many respects, imitate the nerve cells in our brains. They are trained with vast quantities of data on high-performance computers, gobbling up massive […]
Trying to spot contraband is a tricky business. Not only is identifying items like narcotics and counterfeit merchandise difficult, but the current most used technology—X-rays—only gives a 2D view, and often a muddy one at […]
Researchers at the University of California- Los Angeles (UCLA) have recently developed TeamCraft, a new open-world environment for the training and evaluation of algorithms for embodied artificial intelligence (AI) agents, including teams of multiple robots. […]
Smart windows are becoming a key focus in the push for energy-efficient buildings and sustainable architecture. These windows can dynamically adjust their properties to control light and heat, improving comfort while reducing energy costs.This article […]
Being lightweight is essential for space structures, particularly for tools used on already small, lightweight satellites. The ability to perform multiple functions is a bonus. To address these characteristics in a new way, researchers at […]
Have you ever wondered why an airplane has a vertical tailfin? The plane needs it to stabilize its flight. Since flying without a vertical tail is much more energy-efficient, the aviation industry has worked hard […]
A paper published in Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, by researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, introduces EgoTouch, a tool that uses artificial intelligence to […]
