Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our daily lives, impacting various aspects of society. A recent study conducted by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis sheds light on an interesting psychological phenomenon related to training AI. The study revealed that participants actively adjusted their behavior to appear more fair and just

In January, a Boeing 737 MAX operated by Alaska Airlines experienced a near-catastrophic incident that required an emergency landing. The incident involved a panel blowing out shortly after takeoff, leaving passengers exposed to open air at an altitude of about 16,000 feet. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) immediately launched an investigation into the incident,

In an effort to combat a tough market environment, German chip maker Infineon recently announced that it will be slashing 1,400 jobs and relocating another 1,400 positions from its current workforce of approximately 58,600 employees worldwide. This decision is part of a larger restructuring program that was initiated back in May with the goal of

Organic semiconductors have been gaining traction in the field of technology, with applications ranging from OLED displays to biosensors. However, the limitation of resolutions in these devices has been a challenge, especially with the rapid development of wearable electronics. The traditional photolithography technology used for inorganic semiconductors like silicon has enabled the integration of millions

With the surge in e-commerce, the number of parcel deliveries worldwide has significantly increased, reaching 161 billion in 2022. This exponential growth has raised concerns about the environmental impact of traditional delivery methods. In Australia alone, 5.6 million households made monthly online purchases in 2023, leading to a substantial increase in parcel shipments. The transportation

In the year 2035, France is scheduled to phase out new combustion engine cars, sparking concerns among workers in the auto industry. The industry, which currently employs around 200,000 people in the country, is at a crossroads as it grapples with the impending shift to electric vehicles. While some regions like the emerging “Battery Valley”

The inspiration for flying robotic systems has often been derived from the wing dynamics of flying animal species such as birds, bats, and insects. While the wing movements of birds and bats are well understood, the processes underlying the wing movements of many insects remain a mystery to researchers. Recent studies conducted by researchers at

The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is currently witnessing a battle between companies that prefer to keep their datasets and algorithms private (closed-source AI) and those that advocate for transparency by making their AI models publicly accessible (open-source AI). Meta, the parent company of Facebook, recently entered the fray by releasing a new collection of

The recent setback in the deal to bring hydrogen-powered trucks to New Zealand, coupled with the removal of government rebates for green hydrogen users, has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the country’s transition to green hydrogen. While the government has invested significantly in green hydrogen infrastructure and technology, critical voices have been largely absent

In recent research led by Stanford University, the potential of utilizing ancient technology dating back to the Bronze Age has been uncovered as a solution to achieving the United Nations’ ambitious climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050. This innovative technology involves the use of heat-absorbing firebricks assembled in an insulated container to store

Google’s recent advertisement for its Gemini artificial intelligence, titled “Dear Sydney,” failed to resonate with some Olympics viewers. The ad, which aimed to showcase the capabilities of Gemini AI, featured a father praising the tool for writing a fan letter to US hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone on behalf of his daughter. However, the ad faced backlash

Recent reports have surfaced accusing Nvidia of abusing its market dominance within the chipmaking industry. Rivals have raised concerns about Nvidia’s tactics in selling chips that power artificial intelligence, prompting the U.S. Justice Department to launch an investigation into these claims. The Justice Department is reportedly looking into allegations that Nvidia is engaged in anti-competitive

3D-printed concrete technology is rapidly gaining popularity in the construction industry due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and design flexibility. However, the limitations of printable materials have raised concerns regarding sustainability and durability. In a groundbreaking study led by engineers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science, the potential of cellulose nanofibrils

The recent lawsuit filed by the United States against TikTok has brought to light serious allegations of the app violating children’s privacy by collecting data about them without the permission of their parents.
