Researchers at Brown University and Idaho National Laboratory say the secret to battery longevity can be found in how things get clean — specifically soap. In hand washing, soap forms structures called micelles that trap and remove grease,…

A war was being fought at Bellingar Estates, a 9.5-acre vineyard in Oregon's wine country. The adversaries? Birds vs. Grapes. Vineyard owner Evan Bellinger wanted to combat bird damage and found a cutting-edge laser bird deterrent, AVIX…

The Ewoyaa lithium project in Ghana is an essential part of the U.S. lithium supply chain. Piedmont Lithium, in Tennessee, is breaking ground on a lithium refinery, with construction set to start in 2024 and the first output expected in…

Grok, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot inspired by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is under test. A competitor to ChatGPT will be available to premium subscribers on the X platform once testing is complete. Musk says that…

Pickering Interfaces, a leader in modular signal switching and simulation for electronic testing and verification, is set to unveil two groundbreaking products at productronica - a 21-slot fully hybrid PXIe chassis and a pioneering…

AI is rapidly evolving. Visual and large language models can create images, essays, computer code, and more and even correct their mistakes. So, how do they “think?” According to U.C. Santa Barbara’s Fabian Offert, people have been…

Has your phone been hacked? How would you even know? Here are the top signs a bad actor has got their hands on your phone—some of which are now very uncomfortable to me. Your phone overheating, even when idle, could mean it’s being…

UBC and Honda researchers developed a smart, stretchable highly sensitive soft sensor skin with potential robotics and prosthetics applications. Atop a prosthetic arm or a robotic limb, the sensor skin provides touch sensitivity and…

There’s now evidence that pigeons and AI tackle challenging tasks similarly. Research has already shown that pigeons can solve complex categorization tasks differently than a human’s selective attention and explicit rule-use approach.…

It's no wonder, with all of the sanctions on technology export to a handful of countries, that there will be several examples of criminal activities. Here's one of them. A couple from Montreal and a man from Brooklyn, New York, were…

Acoustic resonators are ubiquitous. Smartphones, for example, have bulk acoustic resonators to filter out noise that could degrade an RF signal. Wi-Fi and GPS systems use the filters as well. Unfortunately, these resonators degrade over…

Emergn's data shows that 75% of industry leaders in the UK and US view AI as a crucial technology in reshaping their sector and product development cycle over the next three years. Yet despite the enthusiasm, Emergn's survey also makes…

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center’s optical navigation team, as backup to the OSIRIS-REx mission to near-Earth asteroid Bennu, double-checked the primary navigation team’s work, proving the viability of navigation by visual cues. Using…

We experience the Doppler effect constantly. Tracking the speed of cars with radar and locating satellites in the sky is all about how waves change frequency when a source, such as a radar signal and a detector, are in motion relative to…

There are challenges in physics. For example, when light interacts with matter, light seems to slow down. When incident light (light that falls on a subject) is on an interface, the standard wave equation is satisfied on both sides. Solving…
