Electric vehicle (EV) batteries subjected to typical real-world driving scenarios-such as heavy traffic, urban commutes, and long highway trips-could last up to 40% longer than previously projected, according to new research from the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center, a collaboration between Stanford University's Precourt Institute for Energy and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. This finding sug

Chinese cities, accounting for approximately 85% of the nation's carbon emissions, face a pressing need for innovative solutions to reduce urban CO2 levels. Conventional emission reduction measures alone fall short of addressing the challenge given China's rapid economic growth. Urban greening, including roof greening, presents a promising strategy to establish carbon sinks within densely popula

Researchers at the University of Reading and University College London have unveiled CrystaLLM, a new AI tool capable of predicting atomic arrangements in crystal structures. This innovative approach could significantly accelerate the discovery of materials for applications ranging from solar panels to advanced computer chips. CrystaLLM applies principles similar to AI chatbots, learning t

Researchers have achieved a significant milestone in nanomaterials by synthesizing nearly freestanding nanostructured two-dimensional (2D) gold monolayers. These advanced materials exhibit potential applications in catalysis, electronics, and energy conversion, underscoring their importance in cutting-edge technology. Gold, typically found in its stable three-dimensional (3D) structure, un

A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed. Made using a material called a liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE), a soft rubber-like material that can be stimulated by external forces like light or heat, the polymer is so versatile that it can move in several directions. Its behavior, which resembles the movemen

Microplastics are an environmental hazard found nearly everywhere on Earth, released by the breakdown of tires, clothing, and plastic packaging. Another significant source of microplastics is tiny beads that are added to some cleansers, cosmetics, and other beauty products. In an effort to cut off some of these microplastics at their source, MIT researchers have developed a class of biodeg

For all the talk about artificial intelligence upending the world, its economic effects remain uncertain. There is massive investment in AI but little clarity about what it will produce. Examining AI has become a significant part of Nobel-winning economist Daron Acemoglu's work. An Institute Professor at MIT, Acemoglu has long studied the impact of technology in society, from modeling the

While machine learning often conjures up images of algorithms and digital systems, researchers are demonstrating that the potential for learning extends far beyond the digital realm. A team at the University of Michigan (U-M) has developed a mathematical framework showing how physical materials can "learn" and perform computational tasks without electronic or human intervention. Shuaifeng

"Our results have no clear or direct application right now. It's basic research that lays the foundation for future technologies in quantum information and quantum computers. There's enormous potential for completely new discoveries in many different research fields," says Guilherme B Xavier, researcher in quantum communication at Linkoping University, Sweden. To grasp the significance of
