In a groundbreaking study recently published in Energy Storage Materials, the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has achieved a significant milestone in the development of all-solid-state batteries. This advancement, spearheaded by Dr. Park Jun-woo and Sung Junghwan, represents a crucial step towards the commercialization of solid-state batteries that are free from the risks of explosion

Audio deepfakes have recently garnered negative attention due to their potential use in spear-phishing attacks and deceptive practices. The ease with which these deepfake audios can be generated poses a significant threat to individuals and society as a whole. The ability to manipulate someone’s voice for malicious purposes, such as spreading fake news or committing

Memory is a critical component in both computers and human brains, allowing for the storage and accessibility of information. However, the traditional way of computing in computers involves shuttling data back and forth between a memory unit and a central processing unit, leading to inefficiencies known as the von Neumann bottleneck. This separation has contributed

Nvidia’s latest unveiling of its new family of chips for artificial intelligence has once again solidified its position as a major player in the AI industry. The CEO, Jensen Huang, made a bold statement at a recent developers conference in California, introducing a new and significantly more powerful GPU. Nvidia’s GPUs have become a critical

In today’s world where global warming and climate change are becoming increasingly urgent issues, the construction industry has a significant role to play in reducing carbon emissions. Buildings and the materials used in their construction are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). However, a groundbreaking solution has emerged that could revolutionize

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is currently conducting an investigation into a fatal crash in San Antonio, Texas, involving a Ford electric vehicle that may have been using a partially automated driving system. The crash occurred on February 24 on Interstate 10, resulting in the death of a 56-year-old driver of a Honda CR-V.
