India is at the forefront of an energy transition, moving away from traditional fossil fuels towards cleaner and more sustainable options. One of the key components of this transition is the emerging lithium ion battery storage industry, which is rapidly expanding to meet the country’s growing energy needs. With battery storage gaining momentum, India is

Big Tech giants are gearing up to unveil their quarterly results, providing a deeper insight into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on their earnings. Companies like Microsoft and Google are anticipated to showcase double-digit growth, highlighting the potential of AI in driving revenue. On the other hand, Apple, a relatively late entrant to the

Drones have the potential to revolutionize the construction industry in the UK by offering a cheaper, safer, and more efficient alternative to human workers for certain tasks. They can be equipped with video cameras and sensors to monitor site progress, conduct safety inspections, and even lift heavy materials, with some models capable of lifting over

Optical spectrometers play a crucial role in measuring and analyzing light properties across the electromagnetic spectrum. Traditionally, these instruments have been associated with bulky and expensive designs, limiting their use to specialized facilities. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend towards developing more compact and affordable optical spectrometers that can be deployed

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various industries. This growth has allowed for automation and improved efficiency in operations. A recent feature article published in the AIChE Journal shed light on the challenges and benefits of utilizing Intelligence Augmentation (IA) in process safety systems.

Following a major IT crash that caused chaos for airlines, banks, TV channels, and financial institutions, a flood of online conspiracy theories emerged. These theories ranged from fearmongering about a potential “World War III” to false narratives about global elites orchestrating a cyberattack. The propagation of these theories on social media platforms highlights the current

Direct air capture has been hailed as one of the “seven chemical separations to change the world.” The main reason for this is the urgent need to address carbon dioxide emissions, which are the primary contributors to climate change. Despite the fact that we release approximately 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS Nexus, researchers shed light on how social media algorithms contribute to favoring politically sponsored content from certain parties over others, even when given the same investment budget. The study, a collaboration between the Politecnico di Milano, LMU—Ludwig Maximilians Universität of Munich, and the CENTAI institute of

A team of Australian engineers has developed a groundbreaking device for testing seabed soil in the design of offshore wind farms. This innovative tool, based on a modified speargun, provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional soil testing methods. The device, created by researchers at RMIT University, has been proven to be twice as

When we think of batteries, we often imagine rigid structures that power our devices. However, with the rise of flexible electronics, such as wearable health monitors, the need for stretchy batteries has become increasingly important. In a recent study published in ACS Energy Letters, researchers introduced a lithium-ion battery with entirely stretchable components, including an

In a recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Portsmouth and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition, it was found that a majority of participants preferred artificial intelligence (AI) over human decision-makers when it came to redistributive decisions. This shift in preference challenges the traditional belief that human decision-makers are better

The field of robotics has seen a significant advancement with the introduction of imitation learning frameworks, which aim to teach robots how to perform various tasks by mimicking human demonstrations. One key aspect of such frameworks is the use of teleoperated systems to collect detailed human demonstrations. However, existing teleoperation systems have struggled to effectively
