Can Boeing be trusted again? What steps can the biggest name in aviation take to repair its reputation?

Every year, billions of people board planes that are built by one of two manufacturers—Boeing, an American manufacturer, and Airbus, a European corporation.

Enhancing defect detection performance in smart factories

Prof. Sang Hyun Park's research team in the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at DGIST has developed a logical anomaly detection technology in collaboration with a team from Stanford University. This technology is expected to significantly improve defect detection performance in smart factories by leveraging AI to identify logical anomalies in industrial images accurately.

Green truckin': US finalizes new heavy-vehicle pollution standards

Following last week's crackdown on car emissions, President Joe Biden's administration on Friday unveiled finalized pollution standards for trucks, placing vehicle tailpipes at the forefront of his climate crisis agenda.

Research team develops next-generation semiconductor memory that operates in extreme environments

Researchers have developed a new manufacturing technology that enables the production of high-quality oxide films and effective patterning at low temperatures and manufactured non-volatile resistive random access memory. It is expected to be used in next-generation computing systems by overcoming the shortcomings of existing manufacturing technologies and developing memories with excellent durability.

Brain-inspired chaotic spiking backpropagation

Since it was discovered in the 1980s that learning in the rabbit brain utilizes chaos, this nonlinear and initially value-sensitive dynamical behavior has been increasingly recognized as integral to brain learning.

Synergically improved energy storage performance and stability in tri-layer films with crystalline sandwich structures

As a green, sustainable, and competitive technology relative to batteries and electrochemical capacitors and featuring a high charge storage capability, the dielectric capacitors excel in low cost, long cycle-life, and a broad operating temperature range, as well as environmental friendliness, high security, and good reliability.

Solution to energy storage may be beneath your feet

Anyone who has ever hot-footed it barefoot across the beach on a sunny day walks away with a greater understanding of just how much heat sand can retain. That ability is expected to play a vital role in the future, as technology involving heated sand becomes part of the answer to energy storage needs.

DeSantis' office quietly backed Florida ban on wind energy

Gov. Ron DeSantis' office quietly helped write a bill to curtail wind energy in the state of Florida, email records provided to the Tampa Bay Times show.

European regulators are cracking down on Alphabet, Apple and Meta. How will that impact their work?

U.S. officials could learn a thing for two from their friends in Europe as they assume a bigger role in taking on Big Tech, says a Northeastern University antitrust expert.

Biofuels could help island nations survive a global catastrophe, study suggests

A major global catastrophe could disrupt trade in liquid fuels used to sustain industrial agriculture, impacting the food supply of island nations like New Zealand that depend on oil imports.

How AI discriminates and what that means for your Google habit

Safiya Umoja Noble swears she is not a Luddite. But she does think we could all learn a thing or two from the machine-bashing textile craftsmen in 19th-century Britain whose name is now synonymous with technological skepticism.

A single-crystal-like mesoporous material for high-performance lithium storage

In lithium-ion storage, microstructured single crystal electrode materials show great advantages for ionic conductivity because of removing grain boundaries inside the materials but usually trade off the diffusion distance of Li ions in the microsized particle, consequently reducing the rate capability and cycle stability.

Similar to traditional semiconductors, lead halide perovskites achieve effective electrical doping

For traditional semiconductor materials and devices, controlling the distribution of electrical doping to build an internal electric field is a common method to enhance carrier extraction efficiency. Therefore, electrical doping is of great significance for the construction of high-performance devices.

A biased edge enhancement method for truss-based community search

Science X Newsletter Mon, Apr 1

Dear manoj dole, Here is your customized Science X Newsletter for April 1, 2024: Technology news Using a 2D perovskite oxide as a photoactive high-κ gate dielectric Two-dimensional (2D) superconducting materials have been found to be promising for the development of miniaturized optoelectronic devices. To perform well while consuming less energy, however, these smaller devices require a higher gate capacitance (i.e., gates that can store more electrical charge in proportion to the voltage applied). An optimization-based method to enhance autonomous parking Vehicles that can drive themselves have been a long sought after goal both of robotics research and the automotive industry. While various companies have been investing in these vehicles and testing them, they have so far only deployed them in a limited number of settings. A
