The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has made a significant breakthrough in the field of battery technology by developing a redox-active metal-organic hybrid electrode material known as SKIER-5. This innovative material has the unique characteristic of remaining stable in cold conditions as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius, making it a superior alternative to
Snowflake, a data cloud analytics company, recently released its fiscal second-quarter 2025 earnings report. While the company’s revenue of $869 million exceeded analysts’ expectations, the stock price still fell by 13%. This drop was primarily due to the decelerating product revenue growth compared to previous quarters. Snowflake reported a 30% year-over-year increase in product revenue,
Professors Andreas Crivellin and Bruce Mellado have embarked on a groundbreaking journey in the field of particle physics. Their recent observations have shed light on deviations in the way particles interact, hinting at the existence of new bosons. These anomalies, particularly in the decay of multi-lepton particles, have sparked curiosity among researchers worldwide. The implications
When it comes to using AI in political messaging, one of the primary concerns is the accuracy of the content generated. Generative AI tools have been known to “hallucinate,” meaning they can sometimes fabricate information. In the case of BattlegroundAI, there is a process in place where humans from campaigns are meant to review and
The tech world is abuzz with excitement as Snap and Meta gear up to unveil their latest advancements in the world of augmented reality (AR) glasses. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel is slated to showcase the fifth generation of Spectacles at the upcoming Partner Summit in Los Angeles. On the other hand, Meta, under the leadership
The advancement of technology in the form of self-driving vehicles has brought about the development of networks that collaborate and communicate with each other or infrastructure to make decisions. However, a University of Michigan-led study has highlighted the vulnerability of these networks to data fabrication attacks. This technology, known as vehicle-to-everything or V2X, has not
Microsoft has recently announced that it will be delaying the release of its Recall AI feature for Windows Insiders until October. This decision comes after security concerns were raised about the feature, which is designed to screenshot everything on a user’s PC and allow for easy retrieval. The feature was originally set to launch in
At the 2023 Defcon hacker conference in Las Vegas, there was a significant collaboration between AI tech companies and algorithmic integrity groups to identify vulnerabilities in generative AI platforms. This initiative, known as a “red-teaming” exercise, aimed to increase transparency and scrutiny of these influential yet opaque systems. The US government also supported this effort,
Semiconductor nanocrystals, commonly known as colloidal quantum dots (QDs), have opened new avenues in the study of quantum effects. These nanocrystals exhibit size-dependent colors, providing a visual representation of the quantum size effect that was previously only theoretical. While the concept of Floquet states, or photon-dressed states, is crucial in understanding quantum phenomena, observing these
The Chinese government recently expressed disapproval of the European Union’s decision to lower tariffs on electric vehicle imports, including those from major automakers like Tesla. According to a Ministry of Commerce spokesperson, Beijing believes that the EU’s investigation into China’s subsidies for the electric vehicle industry has led to biased conclusions. The spokesperson also accused
