The use of robots with wheels to navigate different environments has become increasingly popular due to their ability to travel longer distances with fewer risks. However, the inability of many wheeled robots to overcome steps limits their real-world application. This limitation increases the risk of robots getting stuck on a step and failing to complete

Meta’s oversight board recently announced that it is closely examining the policies of the social media giant regarding deepfake porn. This scrutiny comes in the wake of two specific cases that have been brought to its attention. Referred to as a Meta “supreme court” for content moderation disputes, the board is assessing the effectiveness of

The recent study revealed that manufacturing nations in the Global North are contributing to energy and emission problems by outsourcing energy-intensive industrial processes to countries in the Global South. This practice, driven by advantages in capital and technology, results in a ‘false decoupling’ of energy consumption from economic growth. While the Global North benefits from

Google is currently testing the removal of links to California news sites for select users in the western US state as legislators consider implementing a “link tax” on the internet search giant. This move comes in response to the California Journalism Preservation Act (CJPA) that is being reviewed by the state senate, with significant implications

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our daily lives, but a recent report led by researchers from UCL has shed light on a troubling issue – gender bias in AI tools. The study, commissioned by UNESCO, examined the stereotyping present in Large Language Models (LLMs) that power popular AI platforms such as

The addition of battery storage to enhance grid reliability has been a topic of much discussion in the field of electrical engineering and computer science. While it may seem like a simple solution to improve reliability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a recent electricity market analysis has shed light on the complex and sometimes unexpected

Ph.D. candidate Casper Gyurik embarked on a unique investigation that combined the realms of quantum computing and machine learning. Gyurik’s primary objective was to enhance machine learning techniques through the application of quantum principles. While machine learning involves computers learning autonomously, quantum computing introduces a revolutionary approach to computation utilizing the behavior of subatomic particles.

Solar energy is a rapidly growing field with the potential to revolutionize the way we power our world. Researchers at Lehigh University have made a significant breakthrough in the development of a new material that could drastically increase the efficiency of solar panels, paving the way for more sustainable energy solutions. The material developed by

The advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have brought about significant improvements in various fields, including language processing. With the emergence of AI chatbots like ChatGPT, users can now interact with machines to generate code, summaries, and more. However, there are inherent safety concerns when dealing with AI chatbots, as they have the potential to generate

In a groundbreaking development, researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have unveiled a new type of digital display screen that revolutionizes the way we interact with technology. This innovative screen utilizes LEDs made of a crystalline material called perovskite, which enables the display to react to touch, light, fingerprints, and even the user’s pulse. This

South Korea has recently announced a groundbreaking investment plan of almost $7 billion in artificial intelligence by 2027. President Yoon Suk Yeol emphasized the country’s ambition to become a global leader in cutting-edge semiconductors. This move comes as South Korea is home to Samsung and SK Hynix, the top two memory chip manufacturers in the

The utilization of solar energy in green hydrogen production poses several challenges, one of the main ones being the fluctuations in solar output and generation. Factors such as season and weather can lead to repetitive increases and decreases in power, which in turn can damage the components of production devices. This variability in solar output
