Battery technology has always faced challenges when it comes to operating in extreme conditions, especially in freezing temperatures. Conventional lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes have shown significant limitations in subzero environments, leading to decreased storage capacity and potential safety hazards. However, a recent development by the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has introduced a

The development of self-driving vehicle networks that collaborate and communicate with each other or infrastructure brings along the serious risk of data fabrication attacks. According to a study led by the University of Michigan, this network of collaboration and communication, known as vehicle-to-everything or V2X, is vulnerable to such attacks, even though it is not

AMD’s recent acquisition of server maker ZT Systems in a cash-and-stock deal worth $4.9 billion marks a significant step in the chipmaker’s efforts to strengthen its artificial intelligence (AI) capacity and compete more effectively with industry leader Nvidia. This move underscores AMD’s commitment to expanding its presence in the AI market and signals its intent

The recent decision by the Melbourne City Council to break its contracts with operators of shared e-scooter schemes due to safety concerns has sparked a debate on the future of sustainable transport in the city. While safety is paramount, it is essential to critically analyze the implications of such a decision on the overall transport

The recent ruling by a US judge has shed light on Google’s monopoly in the market and how the tech giant has utilized this dominance to solidify its position. With 80% of Alphabet’s revenue coming from advertising, totaling US$146 billion in 2021, it is evident that Google’s primary source of income stems from ad placements.

Donald Trump’s recent shift towards embracing cryptocurrency at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville has caught the attention of many. This change in stance marks a significant departure from his previous skepticism towards digital assets.

This move comes after years of legal battles and lobbying efforts to break free from the restrictions imposed by these tech giants. The Epic Games Store is

Lithium-metal batteries have long been hailed as the future of battery technology due to significantly higher energy densities compared to lithium-ion batteries. However, these lithium-metal cells have faced limitations such as short lifespans. Recent research by a team at the University of Science and Technology of China and other institutes has introduced a novel electrolyte

In recent years, researchers at Purdue University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been focusing on developing a new generation of robotic grippers that are simpler and yet equally effective at handling complex object manipulation tasks. These robotic grippers are inspired by human hands but have fewer degrees of freedom (DOF) than traditional
