Metal halide perovskites have emerged as a promising material for the development of thin-film transistors with exceptional optoelectronic properties. While tin halide perovskites have demonstrated impressive field-effect mobilities in p-type transistors, the challenge lies in achieving similar performances in n-type transistors to enable the development of complementary logic circuits. Researchers have observed that perovskite channels

The surge in international sales of high-tech bidet toilets, pioneered by Japanese company TOTO, is indicative of a growing trend towards luxury bathroom experiences worldwide. These sophisticated toilets, equipped with warm seats and precision spray technology, have become a must-have for A-list celebrities like Drake, the Kardashians, and even US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As Japan
Robotics has come a long way in recent years, with the potential for teams of robots to tackle far more elaborate missions than individual robots. These teams of robots can cover long distances faster, visit different sites simultaneously, and monitor larger geographical areas. The combination of reliable hardware and software for multi-robot applications has the
The study conducted by researchers from Shanghai University, as published in Cyborg Bionic Systems, introduces a groundbreaking artificial intelligence framework known as “Correction and Planning with Memory Integration” (CPMI). This innovative framework aims to enhance the way robots interpret and execute tasks by leveraging large language models (LLMs) to improve efficiency and effectiveness in performing
The Australian government is currently investigating claims made by a hacking group known as ShinyHunters regarding the theft of the personal details of 560 million customers from Ticketmaster, a global events giant. The group allegedly obtained names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card information, which they offered for sale at a price of US$500,000
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize various industries, but systemic issues can put women’s security at risk when these technologies are implemented. Gender biases deeply rooted in widely used AI systems pose a significant obstacle to the positive use of AI in the context of peace and security in South-East
In recent years, advancements in deep learning techniques have led to remarkable achievements in various tasks such as image classification and natural language processing. The rise in the use of these techniques has spurred research into developing hardware accelerators that can meet the computational demands of deep neural networks. These accelerators are specialized computing devices
Large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly common in various applications, allowing for quick and accurate text generation and interpretation. However, one significant issue that has arisen with these models is the occurrence of hallucinations, where the model produces incoherent or inaccurate responses. Researchers at DeepMind have recently proposed a new approach to address the
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Sustainability, a research team led by Prof. Cao Xun has made significant strides in the development of energy-saving windows. With the goal of reducing the energy consumption of buildings, the team focused on improving the performance of electrochromic (EC) smart windows. Traditional EC windows have been limited in
Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, the social media platform owned by former US president Donald Trump, reported a staggering loss of over $300 million in the initial quarter of 2024. This marks a significant decline compared to last year’s net losses of $210,300 for the same period. The company’s
