New Webb Image Captures Clearest View of Neptune’s Rings in Decades

“NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows off its capabilities closer to home with its first image of Neptune. Not only has Webb captured the clearest view of this distant planet’s rings in more than 30 years, but its …

NVIDIA CEO Unveils Next-Gen RTX GPUs, AI Workflows in the Cloud

“Kicking off GTC, Jensen Huang unveils advances in natural language understanding, the metaverse, gaming and AI technologies impacting industries from transportation and healthcare to finance and entertainment. New cloud services to support AI workflows and the launch of a new …

Passive cooling system could benefit off-grid locations

“Relying on evaporation and radiation — but not electricity — the system could keep food fresh longer or supplement air conditioning in buildings. As the world gets warmer, the use of power-hungry air conditioning systems is projected to increase significantly, putting a …

Patented Wave Energy Technology Gets Its Sea Legs

“Imagine this: Clothing that charges your smart watch as you walk, buildings that vibrate in the wind and power your lights, a road that extracts energy from the friction created by moving cars, and flexible structures that change shape in …

Researchers Uncover How to 3D-Print One of the Strongest Stainless Steels

“For airliners, cargo ships, nuclear power plants and other critical technologies, strength and durability are essential. This is why many contain a remarkably strong and corrosion-resistant alloy called 17-4 precipitation hardening (PH) stainless steel. Now, for the first time ever …

Soft robots that grip with the right amount of force

“Researchers created a system that lets robots effectively use grasped tools with the correct amount of force. Tool use has long been a hallmark of human intelligence, as well as a practical problem to solve for a vast array of …

Solvent study solves solar cell durability puzzle

“Rice University engineers say they’ve solved a long-standing conundrum in making stable, efficient solar panels out of halide perovskites. It took finding the right solvent design to apply a 2D top layer of desired composition and thickness without destroying …

The Magneto-Optic Modulator

“Researchers create a device to streamline interactions between ultra-cold and room-temperature computers. Many state-of-the-art technologies work at incredibly low temperatures. Superconducting microprocessors and quantum computers promise to revolutionize computation, but scientists need to keep them just above absolute zero (-459 …
