Global energy demand is rising rapidly, driven by data centers, advanced vehicles, and new manufacturing technologies. Researchers at NREL have developed an ultra-efficient, compact power module that can extract significantly more usable energy from existing…
Abram Fluckiger holds up a sample panel square that has five sandwiched layers of a new material nearly transparent insulation material called MOCHI, which was designed buy CU Boulder researchers in physics professor Ivan Smalyukh’s…
Researchers have uncovered why a newer generation of lithium-ion battery materials can still crack and degrade, despite being designed to avoid known failure modes. The study reveals that single-crystal cathodes fail through a different, previously…

Cancer-diagnosing AI models can secretly read patient demographics from pathology slides, leading to biased results. A new training approach dramatically improves fairness without needing perfect data. Credit: Shutterstock AI can spot cancer—but it can also…
Optical chip developed in the study with laser light from an optical fiber array. Credit: Jake Freedman A new chip-scale device offers unprecedented control over laser frequencies, a key ingredient for large-scale quantum computing. Researchers…
A representation of a cell membrane (rice) with nanopores (broccoli) releasing ions (seeds). Credit: Aleksandra Radenovic/EPFL Scientists found that nanopores’ electrical charges control how ions flow and when pores temporarily shut down. The discovery could…
BISC is a paper-thin, wireless, AI-ready brain implant poised to transform both neurotherapy and human-machine interaction. Credit: Columbia Engineering A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a…
Scientists argue that quantum technology is entering a transformative era, offering early glimpses of practical systems while exposing the engineering hurdles that must be overcome before the field can fully mature. Credit: Stock A new…
