The CES tech show in Las Vegas this year showcased a wide range of innovations, with some of the most exciting developments being in the field of assistive technologies. GyroGear, a medical tech startup based in Boston, unveiled a hand-stabilizing glove aimed at helping Parkinson’s patients and those with hand tremors regain control of their
Artificial intelligence (AI) language models have made significant advancements, with ChatGPT emerging as the current frontrunner. These models can accomplish a wide range of tasks, from drafting legal documents to composing movie scripts. However, they still lack the ability to reason like humans. In this article, we delve into the significance of reasoning in AI
The utilization of semiconductors in converting sunlight into renewable energy is a growing field of research. While solar cells have traditionally been used to convert sunlight into electricity, scientists have now developed a technique to utilize semiconductors to convert water into hydrogen, a carbon-free fuel. This innovative approach not only represents a step forward in
The construction industry has long been known for its high consumption of resources and the generation of large amounts of waste. These waste products, such as construction-generated sludge (CGS) and construction-generated surplus soil (CGSS), have posed challenges in terms of proper management and recycling. However, a recent study led by Professor Shinya Inazumi from the
The renewable energy sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by the increase in energy prices and the need for more sustainable energy sources. Solar parks have become a common sight, but there is still room for improvement in the efficiency of solar panels. Currently, the best solar cell technologies can only convert
In a world where household chores often feel mundane and burdensome, video games offer a surprising twist by transforming these ordinary tasks into exciting virtual experiences. Australian game developers have ingeniously tapped into this concept, creating a range of innovative video games that turn domestic duties into artful entertainment. Drawing inspiration from popular titles like
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials have sparked significant interest in the field of electronics due to their potential applications in wearable devices and miniaturized electronics. These materials offer advantages over traditional bulky semiconductors, such as maintaining carrier mobility even with reduced thickness. While there has been progress in utilizing 2D semiconductors for thin electronics, the development
Google has recently implemented a significant change in its Chrome web browser, by limiting third-party cookies for a portion of its users. This move is a crucial first step towards completely doing away with these cookies, which have long been a cause of concern for privacy advocates. While the tech giant has expressed its intention
The digital divide between urban and rural communities in Africa continues to hinder progress and development in isolated regions. While communication infrastructure has greatly improved in urban areas, the same cannot be said for rural areas where resource constraints and a lack of investment opportunities are major barriers. However, Emmanuel Ndashimye and his team of
Europe’s supply-chain vulnerabilities have become a pressing concern as geostrategic challenges highlight the reliance on individual non-EU countries for critical raw materials. To tackle this issue, Dr. Arne Petter Ratvik, a metals expert at SINTEF, a Norwegian research organization, has proposed an innovative solution. By extracting raw materials from ordinary fertilizer production, Ratvik believes Europe
Amorphous solid electrolytes (SEs) have emerged as a promising solution for increasing the energy density of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). Researchers have made significant progress in developing amorphous SEs with high Li-ion conductivity and ideal chemical stability. This article delves into the recent advancements in the construction of a glassy Li-ion conduction network and the
