One of the biggest challenges of renewable energy is what happens when the sun is not shining. Solar panels produce electricity during the day, but...

After a legislative ban, a trip to the Supreme Court, and repeated deadline extensions, TikTok recently made a deal to spin out an American...

Earbuds may soon do much more than play music or take phone calls. According to a new international study, the same devices millions of people...

Imagine sitting at your desk during a normal workday. You log into your computer, unaware that a built-in sensing system could be tracking your...

Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a promising alternative to today’s lithium-ion batteries. While lithium-ion technology powers everything from smartphones to electric cars, lithium is relatively...

Hydrogen is often described as a fuel of the future because when it is used, it produces only water instead of harmful emissions. But making...

Making energetic materials—such as explosives, propellants, and fireworks—is a bit like baking a very sensitive cake. The ingredients must be carefully measured, the mixing must...

Cement is one of the most widely used building materials in the world, but it comes at a high environmental cost. Portland cement alone is...

At the start of the 20th century, electric cars were more common on American roads than gasoline vehicles. In 1900, many drivers relied on lead-acid...

Imagine if a self-driving car could spot a pedestrian before they step into view from behind a building. Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have...

Talking about flatulence may feel awkward, but scientists say it could reveal important clues about gut health. Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed...

Scientists have developed a new way to produce clean hydrogen using sunlight and liquid metal, offering a promising path toward greener energy made directly...

Researchers have identified a key mechanism responsible for the lower efficiencies of organic solar cells and shown a way that this hurdle might be...

A team of researchers led by the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA has discovered a powerful new way to combine magnets with semiconductors—the materials...

Scientists developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that could work alongside expensive and potentially biased breath-testing devices in pubs and clubs.

Using artificial intelligence, a Stanford-led research team has slashed battery testing times – a key barrier to longer-lasting, faster-charging batteries for electric vehicles –...

Carpenters may soon trade in their tape measures and pencils for high-tech glasses and screens, thanks to a new system developed at EPFL in...
