“Oct. 19 Editor’s Note: While some processors in the Intel Core 14th Gen processor family will include support for Thunderbolt 5, Intel Core 14th Gen desktop processors, specifically, will not support it. The Intel Core 14th Gen launch announcement …
“Conventional systems for producing hydrogen depend on fossil fuels, but the new system uses only solar energy. MIT engineers aim to produce totally green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel with a new, train-like system of reactors that is driven solely by the …
“The Siena Galaxy Atlas will be an invaluable tool for research into how galaxies form and evolve, gravitational waves, dark matter, and the structure of our universe. Mapping the night sky is essential for understanding our universe. Both researchers and …
News New polymer membranes, AI predictions could dramatically reduce energy, water use in oil refining
“A new kind of polymer membrane created by researchers at Georgia Tech could reshape how refineries process crude oil, dramatically reducing the energy and water required while extracting even more useful materials. The so-called DUCKY polymers — more on the unusual …
“Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, are now presenting a new and efficient way to recycle metals from spent electric car batteries. The method allows recovery of 100 per cent of the aluminium and 98 per cent of the …
“Researchers coaxed a family of generative AI models to work together to solve multistep robot manipulation problems. Anyone who has ever tried to pack a family-sized amount of luggage into a sedan-sized trunk knows this is a hard problem. Robots …
“A collaborative group of researchers has manipulated the behavior of light as if it were under the influence of gravity. The findings, which were published in the journal Physical Review A on September 28, 2023, have far-reaching implications for the …
“Humanity’s need for long-term data storage continue to grow at a staggering pace. As a species, we continue to generate large amounts of high-value data (our personal histories, medical, industrial, scientific data, etc.) that is crucial to our long-term …
“The demand for efficient energy storage systems is ever increasing, especially due to the recent emergence of intermittent renewable energy and the adoption of electric vehicles. In this regard, lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), which can store three to five times more …
“The seemingly physics-defying properties of quasiparticles could be harnessed for applications ranging from non-destructive imaging to computer-chip manufacturing. An international team of scientists is rethinking the basic principles of radiation physics with the aim of creating super-bright light sources. In …
