Ultrafine Particles cause worldwide nearly two million premature deaths: An annual limit for particles smaller than 100 nanometers could reduce premature deaths nearly by half

Zamrznuti tonovi/Shutterstock Scientists at the Ames Laboratory have developed an AI workflow to help discover rare-earth-free magnets (something AI has already demonstrated it can excel at). The pipeline uses AI models trained on real world physics and the behavior of electrons rather than just existing data to…

One central theme in this year’s Siggraph programming slate is research that harnesses the same tools used in films, games, and visual effects to design, train, and deploy real-world robots, as the field of robotics continues to expand. “Shall We Dance? Resonance of Intentions with an embodied agent based on the Free Energy Principle” introduces…

After a months-long pause, the Space Development Agency is ready to launch its next batch of satellites that will be part of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture — a network of small, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites designed to support military operations.  A SpaceX rocket will launch 21 Tranche 1 transport satellites on July 16…

Smartphones, electric vehicles, and countless portable electronics all depend on batteries. As demand for better energy storage grows, improvements in battery capacity, lifespan, and safety will play a major role in the future of electrification. One of the most promising technologies is the solid-state battery, which could allow smartphones to operate for several days on…
