Metal halide perovskites have emerged as a promising class of materials for thin-film transistors due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. Among these, tin (Sn) halide perovskites have demonstrated the ability to create high-performance p-type transistors. However, the development of n-type transistors using tin-based perovskites remains a challenge, limiting the creation of complementary logic circuits. Exploring
In recent years, the rise of high-tech bidet toilets from Japan has taken the world by storm. Initially a private attraction in Japan, bidet toilets are now becoming a must-have in luxury bathrooms worldwide. With more than 80 percent of homes in Japan equipped with bidet toilets, it is no surprise that sales have surged
Robots have the potential to revolutionize various fields by working together in teams to tackle more complex missions than individual robots. This could include covering long distances faster, visiting multiple sites simultaneously, or monitoring larger geographical areas. In order to advance research in this area, a reliable platform that combines hardware and software for multi-robot
Chile’s state-owned copper giant, Codelco, has recently announced a groundbreaking deal with SQM, a private mining company, to significantly increase the extraction of lithium. This initiative is crucial for the global transition towards cleaner energy sources. The partnership aims to establish a public-private alliance dedicated to refining lithium production in the Salar de Atacama region
The cancellation of the Geneva International Motor Show marks the end of a legendary event that had been a staple in the automotive industry for over a century. Since its inception in 1905, the show had attracted thousands of visitors and exhibitors, reaching its peak in 2005 with nearly 750,000 attendees. However, in recent years,
Artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize the field of robotics, with researchers from Shanghai University unveiling a groundbreaking new framework known as “Correction and Planning with Memory Integration” (CPMI). This innovative approach leverages large language models (LLMs) to enhance the way robots interpret and carry out complex tasks. Unlike traditional methods that rely on explicit programming
In 2021, concerns were raised about a slowdown in copper production and the ability to meet future demand for the metal, sparking a need for alternative solutions in the electric grid sector. Dr. Anders Wulff, a Danish engineer, recognized the critical role copper plays in the current generation of power grids and saw an opportunity
The development of a 4-Amino-TEMPO derivative with photocatalytic properties has revolutionized the production of high-performance and stable fiber-shaped dye-sensitized solar cells (FDSSCs) and fiber-shaped organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs). This breakthrough, recently published in the journal Materials Today Energy, marks a significant advancement in the field of electronic devices. Unlike conventional materials that are challenging to
Robotic manipulation is a critical aspect of enabling robots to complete real-world tasks in various environments. To achieve effective object grasping and manipulation, developers have been exploring machine learning models for training robots. While some models have shown success, many of them require extensive pre-training on large datasets, primarily consisting of visual data. However, researchers
When it comes to the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in South-East Asia, there are systemic issues that can jeopardize women’s security. Gender biases present in widely used AI-systems create a significant barrier to leveraging AI for promoting peace and security in the region. Research conducted by UN Women and the United Nations University Institute
In recent news, there has been a notable increase in government agencies taking proactive steps to enhance their cybersecurity measures. One such agency, the Environmental Protection Agency, has recently announced its intention to ramp up inspections of water facilities that may be susceptible to cyberattacks. This move highlights the growing recognition of the vulnerabilities faced
