In recent years, China has made significant strides in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), leading to a transformative shift in low-altitude airspace management. The integration of a growing number of unmanned aircraft into the national airspace has presented unique challenges and opportunities for regulation, technology, and industry practices. This evolution is driven by

In the realm of optimizing the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm, the choice of step size, also known as the learning rate, is crucial. Various strategies have been developed to enhance the performance of SGD, with recent advancements focusing on the distribution of step sizes. One of the challenges faced with existing step size methods

The University of Bristol researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of sensing technology that could potentially revolutionize the manufacturing sector in the United Kingdom. By developing a formula that can determine the design boundaries for the geometry and material microstructure of components, they have paved the way for a commercially viable sensing

The recent approval of a bill by the US House of Representatives to force TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company ByteDance has raised concerns over Beijing’s influence on the popular social media app. Critics, including US and other Western officials, have voiced alarm over TikTok’s popularity among young people, alleging that it allows

The recent decision by Volkswagen workers in Tennessee to become a union shop has marked a monumental victory for organized labor, especially at a foreign-owned auto plant in the American South. With an overwhelming 73% of employees at the Chattanooga plant supporting the United Auto Workers (UAW) representation, it signifies a significant breakthrough in a

Climate change is a topic that is continuously shaping the future of renewable energy sources such as solar power. According to a recent study led by the University of Michigan, the value of residential rooftop solar panels in the United States is expected to increase by up to 19% by the end of the century.

Scientists at the University of Bristol have recently developed a groundbreaking robotic suction cup that revolutionizes the way in which robotic devices interact with rough, curved, and heavy surfaces. Inspired by the adaptive suction abilities of octopus biological suckers, the team at Bristol Robotics Laboratory embarked on a mission to create a device capable of

Off-road environment recognition technologies are essential for detecting and removing extraneous substances such as dust, mud, snow, or rain during off-road autonomous driving. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize various industries, including construction, agriculture, and military, by ensuring safe working environments for operators and improving overall efficiency.

Bipolar membranes are a key component in various energy technologies, such as electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells. These membranes consist of two oppositely charged layers, the cation-exchange and anion-exchange layer, which are essential for their function. Despite the usage of bipolar membranes in energy applications, there is still much to be understood about their working

Manufacturing nations in the Global North have been found to be stockpiling energy and emission problems by outsourcing energy-intensive industrial processes to countries in the Global South. This phenomenon, termed ‘false decoupling,’ involves Global North countries leveraging their capital and technology advantages to extract a significant amount of energy through outsourcing. However, the outdated production
