Artificial intelligence (AI) has been identified as both a problem and a potential solution in the fight against climate change. The rapid expansion of AI in our society requires massive amounts of computing power and data storage, leading to concerns about its carbon footprint. However, AI also has the potential to help us address climate
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is pushing back against a U.S. antitrust authority’s lawsuit that could potentially lead to the forced sale of Instagram and WhatsApp. The lawsuit, initiated by the Federal Trade Commission in December 2020, is centered around Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, which the FTC claims have hindered competition in
Robotic systems have traditionally been utilized in controlled indoor environments to assist with manual tasks and simple queries. However, as technology advances, there is a growing interest in deploying robotic systems in unknown and unmapped environments. These environments present unique challenges, such as obstacles that can obstruct sensors and increase the risk of collisions. One
In a groundbreaking development, a team of Korean researchers has recently unveiled a new memory device that could potentially revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence hardware. Led by Professor Shinhyun Choi from the KAIST School of Electrical Engineering, the research team has successfully created a next-generation phase change memory device with ultra-low-power consumption capabilities. This
Tesla, led by Elon Musk, reported a significant decrease in first-quarter auto sales, with a global delivery figure of 386,810, marking an 8.5 percent decline compared to the previous period. This decline is attributed to various factors, including a weak sales market in China and an apparent arson attack on power lines in Germany that
In the realm of technology and innovation, eye tracking has become an increasingly valuable tool for a variety of applications. From virtual reality helmets to automotive assistance devices, the ability to track eye movement opens up a world of possibilities. However, the biggest obstacle in implementing this technology has been the obstructive devices that are
Advancements in technology have led to the development of miniaturized optoelectronic devices that are efficient in performance and energy consumption. In recent research conducted by scientists at Fudan University, a breakthrough in integrating insulating materials with high dielectric constants into 2D semiconductors has been achieved. This new discovery could revolutionize the future of optoelectronic devices.
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have long been hailed as a breakthrough technology due to their ability to modulate electrical current in response to small changes in voltage. These transistors, based on organic superconducting materials, are anticipated to revolutionize the field of electronics, particularly in brain-inspired and wearable technologies. However, despite their numerous advantages, most conventional
The development of self-driving vehicles has been a long-standing goal in both robotics and the automotive industry. Companies have been investing heavily in this technology, with the hope of implementing it in various settings. One recent area of interest is automated valet parking (AVP), where a car can autonomously navigate from the entrance of a
