AI language models have been making significant strides in recent years, with ChatGPT emerging as one of the frontrunners. This powerful model is capable of a wide range of tasks, from drafting legal documents to generating movie scripts. However, despite these impressive capabilities, current AI models still lack the ability to reason like a human.
The field of renewable energy continues to make significant strides towards a sustainable future. Scientists are now looking to semiconductors as a means to convert sunlight into usable energy. While solar cells have been used to convert sunlight into electricity, researchers are now exploring the possibility of using semiconductors to convert water into hydrogen, a
The construction industry is notorious for its excessive resource consumption and the generation of significant amounts of waste. Two prevalent waste products in construction are construction-generated sludge (CGS) and construction-generated surplus soil (CGSS). While these materials can be repurposed for various applications, their highly alkaline nature poses a risk to soil and water contamination, posing
The demand for renewable energy has been on the rise due to increased energy prices and a growing concern for environmental sustainability. Solar power, in particular, has seen significant growth with the deployment of solar parks. However, the efficiency of solar panels remains a challenge.
