The recent research led by Stanford University has introduced a groundbreaking concept of using heat-absorbing bricks, known as firebricks, to store heat generated by renewable sources such as solar or wind power. This innovative technology has the potential to significantly contribute to achieving the United Nations’ climate goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. By
The chipmaking industry is currently facing antitrust tensions with Nvidia being accused by rivals of abusing its market dominance in selling chips that power artificial intelligence. The U.S. Justice Department has initiated an investigation into these complaints, as reported by technology news site The Information. According to the sources cited in the report, Justice Department
3D printing technology has revolutionized the construction industry, offering quick and precise construction with the possibility of using recycled materials. However, questions about the sustainability and durability of 3D-printed structures have remained. One potential solution to these challenges is the incorporation of cellulose nanofibrils, a plant-based material, into printable materials. Cellulose nanofibrils, derived from wood
Google recently came under fire for its “Dear Sydney” ad featuring its Gemini artificial intelligence. The ad, which aimed to showcase the capabilities of AI, backfired with some viewers who criticized it for promoting the idea that children should rely on AI rather than learning to express themselves. Despite positive pre-testing, the ad received backlash,
The recent lawsuit filed by the United States accused TikTok of violating children’s privacy by collecting data about them without their parents’ permission while using the app. The Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) collaborated in a civil suit alleging that TikTok broke the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Violation of COPPA
In a groundbreaking study published in Nano-Micro Letters, a team of researchers has developed high-density three-dimensional carbon tube nanoarray electrodes that have the potential to revolutionize the world of line-filtering capacitors. These miniaturized filter devices offer high-performance capabilities, addressing the limitations of traditional aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AECs) and providing a promising alternative in the realm
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been rapidly advancing in recent years, with applications such as generative AI pushing the scalability of existing digital hardware to its limits. As a result, there is a growing interest in analog hardware specialized for AI computation. A recent study, published in Science Advances, has shed light on the potential
