New research reveals that while AI excels at basic scientific perception, it struggles with complex reasoning, spatial understanding, and integrating information from different sources, highlighting key areas for future development.
Technology
A new methodology reveals deep seawater cooling systems can save 79% energy and cut emissions for data centres, with a rapid eight-month payback.
A new way to accurately predict how materials respond to pulsed laser heating, even when the laser's behavior is a bit unpredictable, allowing engineers to optimise laser parameters for applications, such as cutting, welding, drilling, and surface treatment.
Researchers replicate evolution in the lab using microbes and feeding them with subtly different sugars, and observing how their adaptations diverge
Researchers are exploring Ulva, a genus of green seaweed, as "tomorrow's wheat of the sea" due to its remarkable nutritional profile and incredibly high productivity.
Researchers studied how the electrical and optical behaviour of a sheet of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) changed with temperature and explored the role of imperfections in its electrical and optical properties.
New research compares two methods for keeping spacecraft in stable halo orbits near Earth Lagrange Point L1, finding the best approach depends on how much the spacecraft is nudged off course.
Researchers explored the differences between a person solving a logical problem and one facing a moral dilemma by tracking people's eye movements as they tackled these kinds of problems.
An AI-powered robotic system, Polybot, has successfully automated the complex process of creating highly conductive and defect-free electronic polymer films, paving the way for faster material discovery and manufacturing.
Study shows how the structure of the networks that quantum particles travel through affects their properties, like coherence. Could lead to better designs for quantum devices.
