In a groundbreaking study conducted by Dr. Jin Gu Kang and his team at the Nanophotonics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), a new colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material has been successfully developed. This material has the ability to cool without the need for external power while also emitting vibrant
Research is constantly advancing in the field of biomedical studies, demanding more accurate and non-invasive methods for measuring critical metrics such as body mass. The traditional approach of weighing mice, the most common subjects in preclinical studies, has proven to be stressful and unreliable, hindering the validity of experimental results. A research team led by
Artificial intelligence continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for society. A recent study conducted by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has shed light on an unexpected psychological phenomenon that occurs when individuals are informed that they are training AI. This phenomenon raises important questions about the impact of human
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has introduced a groundbreaking tool called Autonomie Express, which has the potential to revolutionize the way we analyze energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale. This innovative tool is designed to assist a wide range of users, including transport and mobility companies, researchers, city
The wing dynamics of flying animals have always fascinated scientists and engineers alike, leading to the development of various flying robotic systems. While birds and bats use their pectoral and wing muscles to flap their wings, the mechanisms behind the wing movements of insects have remained a mystery for a long time. Recently, researchers from
In today’s digital age, the e-commerce industry has experienced exponential growth, leading to a significant increase in the number of parcel deliveries worldwide. With a staggering 161 billion parcels delivered in 2022, the pressure on last-mile delivery services has never been higher. This trend is particularly evident in countries like Australia, where the majority of
As France approaches a 2035 deadline to phase out new combustion engine cars, the automotive industry is in a state of flux. While there is hope in certain regions like the north with the emergence of a “Battery Valley,” parts suppliers in other areas are facing uncertainty. With the looming restriction on the sale of
The recent failure of a deal to deliver hydrogen-powered trucks to New Zealand, coupled with the removal of a NZ$100 million government rebate scheme for green hydrogen users in the 2024 budget, has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the future of green hydrogen technology in the country. The government’s initial investment of $6.5 million
In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), there is an ongoing battle between companies that opt to keep their datasets and algorithms confidential, and those that believe in transparency by making their advanced software publicly accessible. The clash between open-source and closed-source AI has significant implications for the future of AI development and deployment. Meta,
