Eight European consumer organizations have filed complaints against Facebook parent Meta accusing it of breaching the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with its so-called “pay-or-consent” policy and opaque internal policies. The organizations are all…
An international research team has discovered that the piezoelectric properties of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 capacitors can be dynamically altered by external electrical cycling, leading to the inversion of the piezoelectric effect’s sign. This revelation, supported by density…
The dream of streaming — watch what you want, whenever you want, for a sliver of the price of cable! — is coming to an end. With all the price increases for video streaming apps…
Fresh claims that Apple has shelved its project to build a semi-autonomous vehicle have emerged, and this time they ring true. But the company will be enjoying the benefits of its efforts for years to…
Researchers have advanced Na-ion battery technology by developing fast-charging capabilities and enhancing the negative electrode with organic materials, reducing reliance on rare, non-European materials. Additionally, they’ve improved the cathode, creating a high-energy, fast-charging, cobalt-free material…
To get some sense of the future for Apple’s new Vision devices, early adopters might want to explore ARway.ai, which seems to deliver some of the elements of the augmented reality (AR) vision we think…
“We used advanced fabrication techniques to cut small transducers from high-quality piezoelectric materials that allowed us to design miniaturized ultrasound stickers,” Xuanhe Zhao, professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, says. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers…
Apple’s 2024 Proxy Statement for its annual shareholder’s meeting reveals several little-known initiatives it’s been following to improve artificial intelligence (AI) across its product range, and the company seems to go a little further than…
