With WWDC 2024 now set, Apple continues to work on bringing itself more in line with US government demands. What we don’t know yet is the extent to which these changes will be restricted to…
New research highlights the challenges of significantly boosting solar cell efficiency. Instead, they propose innovative approaches like making solar panels more adaptable and optimizing their arrangement for enhanced solar energy capture, offering promising avenues for…
Scale AI, the data processing company that advertises itself as a way to train generative AI on higher-quality information, has apparently shut down access to its platform in several countries, leaving gig workers in the…
A new method developed by TIFRH researchers significantly improves lithium metal battery safety and longevity by modifying the separator membrane to suppress dendrite growth. This scalable, cost-effective approach faces challenges at high current densities, promising…
The marketing hype surrounding AI broadly — and generative AI (genAI) more specifically — is becoming tiresome. You can’t open an article or watch a news video without running into at least a reference to…
A review of the potential of combining silicon solar cells with perovskite materials highlights how to scale up this technology. Credit: 2024 KAUST; Heno Hwang In 2009, researchers demonstrated that solar cells made from perovskites,…
In a sign that the tech industry keeps getting weirder, Meta soon plans to release a big update that transforms the Ray-Ban Meta, its camera glasses that shoot videos, into a gadget seen only in…
