The Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has made a significant breakthrough in the field of energy storage with the development of a new technology aimed at advancing the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries. Dr. Park Jun-woo and Sung Junghwan have successfully engineered a revolutionary technology that focuses on the “size-controlled wet-chemical synthesis of solid-state electrolytes (sulfide
Memory storage is a crucial function in both computers and human brains. While traditional computers rely on shuttling data between memory units and a central processing unit, new research is aiming to revolutionize this process. One such breakthrough is the development of nanofluidic memristive devices that use ions instead of electrons and holes to compute
The construction industry is one of the major contributors to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which significantly impacts global warming and climate change. However, scientists have made a breakthrough in designing composite decking materials that have the potential to store more CO2 than is emitted during their production. This innovative approach offers a “carbon-negative” solution that
The scandal that unfolded at a recent tech festival regarding Google’s Gemini chatbot generating images of Black and Asian Nazi soldiers served as a stark warning about the potential ramifications of artificial intelligence in the hands of tech giants.
