An international team of scientists has used machine learning to help them develop perovskite solar cells with near-record efficiency. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes how they used the machine-learning algorithm to help them find new hole-transporting materials to improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells. Currently, one part of […]

In 2025 we will see AI and machine learning leveraged to make real progress in understanding animal communication, answering a question that has puzzled humans as long as we have existed: “What are animals saying to each other?” The recent Coller-Dolittle Prize, offering cash prizes up to half-a-million dollars for scientists who “crack the code” […]
iOS 19 will not drop support for any iPhone models, according to French website iPhoneSoft.fr. The report cites a source within Apple. The report said that iOS 19 will be compatible with any iPhone that is capable of running iOS 18, which would mean the following models: The oldest devices in that list are the iPhone […]
The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip. So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up rather than out. Instead of squeezing ever-smaller transistors onto a single surface, the industry is aiming to stack multiple surfaces of transistors and semiconducting […]
John B. Goodenough, a former soldier, was awarded the Nobel Prize for helping create the lithium-ion battery, used today in a plethora of civilian and military systems, including vehicles, cellphones and laptops. Their advantages include high-energy output, light weight and long lifespan. So important are these batteries to the military that the Defense Department published […]
