Acoustic streaming generated by airborne ultrasonic phased arrays plays a critical role in the performance of advanced ultrasonic technologies, including midair haptic feedback, odor delivery, and acoustic levitation. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed […]
There’s a reason why blacksmiths fire metals before hammering them. Heat always softens metal, making it more malleable and easier to reshape. Or does it? In a surprising new study, Northwestern University engineers discovered that, […]
Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called “fatigue” when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very difficult to […]
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have achieved a breakthrough in calcium-ion battery (CIB) technology, which could transform energy storage solutions in everyday life. Utilizing quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs), these innovative […]
Generative artificial intelligence systems often work in agreement, complimenting the user in its response. But human interactions aren’t typically built on flattery. To help strengthen these conversations, researchers in the USF Bellini College of Artificial […]
When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In a study appearing in Scientific Reports, scientists used virtual reality to simulate a […]
Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations of specific patterns difficult and expensive. Aerospace […]
When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. This is the fundamental hurdle of renewable energy: how to save the sun’s power for a rainy day—or a cold night. Chemists at UC Santa Barbara […]
In the context of global decarbonization, reducing energy consumption in the building sector is an urgent issue. Researchers have developed a next-generation building energy evaluation model that combines rule-based symbolic AI computing with VR technology. […]
Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) are rechargeable batteries that contain an anode (i.e., the electrode through which current flows and a loss of electrons occurs) made of lithium metal. Compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which power […]
