MIT researchers used AI to create a chatbot where you can talk with your “future self” leading users to feel less anxious or unmotivated after the chat. Have you ever dreamt of speaking with your future self who has lived to the age of 60? A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology […]
Toshiba Corporation along with two other companies unveiled a prototype electric bus that’s powered by next-generation SCiB batteries. The new energy storage device with extreme longevity can be charged 80% in just 10 minutes. Suitable for fully electric, hybrid, light and heavy vehicles, the battery can reduce capital expenditures and operational expenses. It also minimizes […]
On the weekend, an area 20km off the Illawarra coast south of Sydney became Australia’s fourth offshore wind energy zone. It’s the most controversial zone to date, with consultation attracting a record 14,211 submissions—of which 65% were opposed. The zone’s declaration has inflamed fierce debate over the pathway to decarbonization, particularly in industrial regions. The […]
Earlier this week, a report suggested that Apple has shifted its focus from developing a next-generation Vision Pro to a lower-cost version of the headset instead. A new report today sheds more light on the Apple Vision product roadmap, with some details on how Apple could cut costs in the future. In the latest edition […]
A U.K. university spin-out has developed a bacteria-powered battery that harvests energy from microorganisms in the soil to recharge itself, with a prototype already rolled out in Brazil. Data on conditions in the field are crucial to help farmers make informed decisions and achieve the best possible yields, but powering the sensors that provide such […]
High-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) could play a crucial role in the electrification of vehicles and other large electronics. To successfully deploy these batteries on a large scale, however, engineers will first need to ensure that they can safely operate at different temperatures and do not explore when overheated. One common solution to improve the safety […]
Microsoft is using Copilot as a pillar for the future of Windows, but the Copilot experience sees a huge downgrade with the debut of “Copilot+ PCs,” as it’s now just a simple web app. Over the past few months, Microsoft has doubled down on Copilot throughout Windows. Earlier this year, laptops started to ship with […]
The advent of Gen AI is taking the technological bounds of fintech into the future, helping fintechs become more agile, efficient and seamless Today, fintech providers have little choice but to leverage the latest technology at risk of being left behind. Chief among these technologies is generative AI (Gen AI), the catalyst for a new generation […]
WhatsApp last year introduced the option to let users send “HD photos,” keeping their original resolution with lower compression. However, users had to choose the HD option every time they sent a photo to someone – but not anymore. That’s because WhatsApp is rolling out a new option to set the option to send HD photos as […]
Stanford chemists hope to stop the variability of renewable energy on the electrical grid by creating a liquid battery that offers long-term storage. Hopefully, this liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) battery will offer storage and smooth out ebb and flow of renewable power production without certain negative side effects. The team described its work in a […]
Tesla recently shared a chart presenting the average battery capacity retention per distance traveled of the Model 3 and Model Y cars with Long Range battery packs. According to Tesla’s 2023 Impact Report, the average battery capacity loss of the Model 3/Model Y Long Range versions after 200,000 miles is 15%. This also means the […]
OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, who left the artificial intelligence startup last month, introduced his new AI company, which he’s calling Safe Superintelligence, or SSI. “I am starting a new company,” Sutskever wrote on X on Wednesday. “We will pursue safe superintelligence in a straight shot, with one focus, one goal, and one product.” Sutskever was […]
