“The device could help scientists explore unknown regions of the ocean, track pollution, or monitor the effects of climate change. Scientists estimate that more than 95 percent of Earth’s oceans have never been observed, which means we have seen …
“Relying on evaporation and radiation — but not electricity — the system could keep food fresh longer or supplement air conditioning in buildings. As the world gets warmer, the use of power-hungry air conditioning systems is projected to increase significantly, putting a …
“Researchers created a system that lets robots effectively use grasped tools with the correct amount of force. Tool use has long been a hallmark of human intelligence, as well as a practical problem to solve for a vast array of …
“Refining current opacity models will be key to unearthing details of exoplanet properties — and signs of life — in data from the powerful new telescope. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revealing the universe with spectacular, unprecedented clarity. The …
“Researchers increase the accuracy and efficiency of a machine-learning method that safeguards user data. Training a machine-learning model to effectively perform a task, such as image classification, involves showing the model thousands, millions, or even billions of example images. Gathering …
“Assistant Professor Ariel Furst and her colleagues are looking to DNA to help guide the process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major contributor to climate change and a significant product of many human activities, notably industrial manufacturing. A major goal …
“On its own, a new machine-learning model discovers linguistic rules that often match up with those created by human experts. Human languages are notoriously complex, and linguists have long thought it would be impossible to teach a machine how to …
“Day and night, and across seasons, the instrument generates breathable oxygen from the Red Planet’s thin atmosphere. On the red and dusty surface of Mars, nearly 100 million miles from Earth, an instrument the size of a lunchbox is …
“Made from inexpensive, abundant materials, an aluminum-sulfur battery could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources. As the world builds out ever larger installations of wind and solar power systems, the need is growing fast for economical, large-scale backup …
“PhD student Pablo Leon uses machine learning to expedite research on novel battery materials, while helping newer students navigate graduate school. To help combat climate change, many car manufacturers are racing to add more electric vehicles in their lineups. But …
