So you can whip together a weekend bag or fit a fortnight’s worth of outfits into a rolling suitcase, but does your status as “packing guru” extend to your phone or tablet? Think of your…
Most people worry far more about AI’s immediate harms—like bias, misinformation, or job losses—than they do about distant, existential threats, a University of Zurich study of over 10,000 UK and US respondents finds. Even when…
Artificial intelligence software has given editing tools a huge boost in power, far beyond the spell-checkers and grammar aids of yore. A.I. can proofread, rewrite, summarize and compose text, making it simple to craft clean,…
A new study shows that the synthetic molecule CPMAC, developed from buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀), significantly improves the energy efficiency and durability of perovskite solar cells. By forming stronger ionic bonds with the perovskite material, CPMAC enhances…
