Artificial intelligence has become a significant factor in various industries, including Hollywood and video games. The recent strike by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) against gaming giants highlights the challenges faced by actors in the evolving landscape of technology. The strike initiated by SAG-AFTRA revolves around the consent and compensation for actors whose voices and

As advancements in 5G technology pave the way for even faster and more reliable wireless communications, the focus is shifting towards developing technologies for 6G. However, one of the biggest challenges faced in both 5G and 6G is the detrimental effects of operating at extremely high frequencies, particularly approaching the terahertz range. Signal attenuation and

Boeing, one of the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers, has recently found itself entangled in a fraud scandal with the US Department of Justice. This scandal stems from two fatal crashes involving the 737 MAX aircraft, which resulted in the tragic deaths of 346 people in Ethiopia and Indonesia over five years ago. As part of

Self-driving cars have been making headlines for their groundbreaking technology, but they are not without their flaws. These cars occasionally crash due to limitations in their visual systems, especially when it comes to processing static or slow-moving objects in 3D space. This issue is reminiscent of the visual capabilities of insects, such as the praying

When it comes to assessing the environmental impact of traffic, most of the focus has been on exhaust emissions from road vehicles. However, a recent study commissioned by the German Center for Rail Transport Research has shed light on the importance of considering abrasion emissions from rail transport as well. Researchers from the Institute of

Delta Air Lines recently faced a major crisis when a faulty software update caused widespread technological disruptions, resulting in the grounding of several flights. With total cancellations exceeding 1,400 within, into, or out of the U.S., it is evident that the airline struggled to restore its operations promptly. This incident sheds light on the critical

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
