A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego offers a first-of-its-kind look at how deeper coordination among Western U.S. states could lower the cost of decarbonizing the electric grid—and speed up the clean energy...
AI policies in Africa: Lessons from Ghana and Rwan...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing productivity and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. It powers self-driving cars, social media feeds, fraud detection and medical diagnoses. Touted as a game changer, it is projected to add nearly US$15.7 trillion to...
Spy vs. spy: A new automated removal tool can stop...
Cyberattacks can snare workflows, put vulnerable client information at risk, and cost corporations and governments millions of dollars. A botnet—a network infected by malware—can be particularly catastrophic. A new Georgia Tech tool automates the malware removal process, saving engineers...
Using the skin's electrical conductance to track s...
Over the past decades, electronics engineers have developed a wide range of wearable devices that can be used to track some physiological processes and collect health or fitness-related data. These devices rely on miniature sensors that can pick up...
Yahoo is ready to buy Chrome browser if Google is ...
Internet company Yahoo Inc.—backed by owner Apollo Global Management Inc.—would bid for the Chrome web browser if a federal court orders Google to divest it as a remedy for maintaining an illegal monopoly, a senior executive said.
Combining electrical and force signals boosts pros...
Combining two different kinds of signals could help engineers build prosthetic limbs that better reproduce natural movements, according to a new study from the University of California, Davis. The work, published April 10 in PLOS One, shows that a...
Diagram-based language streamlines optimization of...
Coordinating complicated interactive systems, whether it's the different modes of transportation in a city or the various components that must work together to make an effective and efficient robot, is an increasingly important subject for software designers to tackle....
'Poisoned' AI models can unleash real-world chaos;...
An unrelenting, ravenous appetite for more and more data may be artificial intelligence's fatal flaw; or at least the fastest way for "poison" to seep in.
'Cold' manufacturing approach solves fabrication c...
Lithium-ion batteries have been a staple in device manufacturing for years, but the liquid electrolytes they rely on to function are quite unstable, leading to fire hazards and safety concerns. Now, researchers at Penn State are pursuing a reliable...

In the state with the fourth-largest proven reserves of oil and gas in the U.S., there is a looming energy shortage.
Scientists are changing number of experiments run ...
To build the experimental stations of the future, scientists at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory, are learning from some of the...
A new way to measure uncertainty provides an impor...
It's obvious when a dog has been poorly trained. It doesn't respond properly to commands. It pushes boundaries and behaves unpredictably. The same is true with a poorly trained artificial intelligence (AI) model. Only with AI, it's not always...
