Researchers have developed a robust “rainbow on a chip” whose individual frequencies can be controlled while remaining highly stable (Artist’s concept). Credit: SciTechDaily.com A tiny chip that produces a precisely organized “rainbow” of light could…
I don’t think so. Perhaps because, as the “father of public relations”, Edward Bernays said in his seminal book, “Propaganda”: “No matter how sophisticated, how cynical the public may become about publicity methods, it must…
Innovative microrobots designed to mimic natural swarms can effectively remove both microplastics and bacterial contaminants from water, offering a reusable solution to water pollution. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers have developed microrobots capable of removing…
As the controversial vehicle surveillance giant Flock Safety continues to expand, WIRED got the code for the company’s new AI policing tool and reconstructed the software to show that its capabilities go far beyond reading…
Magnetic memory technologies. Credit: Dr. Elton Santos, University of Edinburgh. The microscopic magnetic flips behind digital memory could soon use thousands of times less energy, offering a new way to shrink AI’s rapidly growing power…
A new breakthrough in solar technology with the development of perovskite solar cells offers greater efficiency and reduced costs compared to traditional silicon cells. This innovation addresses major commercialization challenges, notably improving cell stability and…
Earlier this year, insurance executives gathered in a Times Square conference room to play out a scenario: A Chinese cyberattack knocks out 5,000 US water utilities at once. If you think that’s a far-fetched scenario,…
