Technology news

	Research lights up process for turning CO₂ into sustainable fuel Researchers have successfully transformed CO2 into methanol by shining sunlight on single atoms of copper deposited on a light-activated material, a discovery that paves the way for creating new green fuels.
	Electrochemistry helps clean up electronic waste recycling, precious metal mining A new method safely extracts valuable metals locked up in discarded electronics and low-grade ore using dramatically less energy and fewer chemical materials than current methods, report University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers in the journal Nature Chemical Engineering. The paper is titled "Redox-mediated electrochemical liquid-liquid Extraction (e-LLE) for selective metal recovery."
	Novel multifunctional additive boosts efficiency, stability of inverted perovskite solar cells Prof. Ge Ziyi's team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel multifunctional additive to passivate defects and promote charge carrier transport, thereby enhancing the efficiency and stability of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
	Researchers use radar technology to monitor the health status of a driver Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from "Star Trek," a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people's health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical hub. The research paper, "Multibin Breathing Pattern Estimation by Radar Fusion for Enhanced Driver Monitoring," was published in IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement.
	Taming the beast: Researcher controls voltage response for safer electric grid When FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Professor Fang Peng was a boy, he saw the power and peril of electricity firsthand. He was in middle school when his remote Chinese hometown first received electric service. His family shared a single portable, 15-watt light bulb attached to a cable. It was his job to replace the bulb.
	Transport of the future? Europe's longest hyperloop center opens Europe's longest tunnel for testing hyperloop technology opens Wednesday in the Netherlands, with operators hoping passengers could one day be whisked from Amsterdam to Barcelona in a couple of hours.
	Olympics tech firm Atos posts huge loss but says Games safe Debt-ridden French IT group Atos, the cybersecurity and data provider for the Paris Olympics, posted a huge annual loss Tuesday but vowed that its troubles would not disrupt the Games.
	Ousted WeWork co-founder bids to buy company: Reports Ousted WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann recently bid more than $500 million to buy back the struggling office-sharing group, according to media reports Monday.
	If you've got a dark roof, you're spending almost $700 extra a year to keep your house cool If you visit southern Greece or Tunisia, you might notice lots of white rooftops and white buildings to reflect the intense heat and keep residents cooler.
	New concrete possibilities from waste materials The use of recycled concrete and glass aggregates in concrete production has emerged as a highly promising means of increasing the recycling rate of waste materials—but durability issues have plagued some combinations of recycled ingredients.
	Food safety: Two-stage process of extraction and classification to identify ingredients in photos of food Research published in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems discusses a new approach to the identification of ingredients in photographs of food. The work will be useful in our moving forward on food safety endeavors.
	Chinese EV giant BYD announces record annual profit for 2023 Chinese battery and automotive giant BYD achieved a record profit in 2023, annual results showed Tuesday, despite fierce competition in the country as demand for electric vehicles grows.
	Chinese EV makers challenging market leaders at auto show in Bangkok Chinese electric vehicle makers are showcasing their latest models, including a flying car, as they take on global rivals at the Bangkok International Motor Show.
	Big tech told to identify AI deepfakes ahead of EU vote The EU called on Facebook, TikTok and other tech titans on Tuesday to crack down on deepfakes and other AI-generated content by using clear labels ahead of Europe-wide polls in June.
	Dating apps: Lack of regulation, oversight and competition affects quality, and millions stand to lose When Aleksandr Zhadan used ChatGPT to talk to over 5,000 women on Tinder, it was a sign of things to come.
	How AI and a popular card game can help engineers predict catastrophic failure by finding the absence of a pattern Humans are very good at spotting patterns, or repeating features people can recognize. For instance, ancient Polynesians navigated across the Pacific by recognizing many patterns, from the stars' constellations to more subtle ones such as the directions and sizes of ocean swells.
	Robots replicate reality: High-tech pitching machine mimics every pitcher Nestor Cortes got behind the plate in a batting cage and watched an 8-foot-high, 1,200-pound robot spit out fastballs, cutters and sweepers just like the ones spinning off the fingertips of his left hand.
	Researchers send data 4.5 million times faster than average broadband Aston University researchers have sent data at a speed that is 4.5 million times faster than the average home broadband. The rate is the fastest ever sent by opening up specific new wavelength bands that are not yet used in fiber optic systems.
	Rethinking wind power's towers and turbines New materials and designs can make a leading source of renewable energy both greener and cheaper.
	Ghana's decades-old ambition to build an integrated aluminum industry faces a new hurdle: The clean energy transition It has been more than 60 years since Ghana's first post-independence leader Kwame Nkrumah first mooted the idea that Ghana should produce aluminum from the country's ample supply of bauxite.
	Vietnamese automaker VinFast to start selling EVs in Thailand Vietnamese automaker VinFast announced Tuesday that it plans to sell its electric vehicles in Thailand and said it had tied up with auto dealers to open showrooms in the country.
	Alibaba withdraws Hong Kong IPO for logistics arm Chinese e-commerce titan Alibaba is withdrawing a planned initial public offering for its logistics arm Cainiao, the company said Tuesday, as a major company overhaul faces setbacks.
	International researchers explore new territory in the grand challenges of wind energy science Wind energy—one of the fastest-growing and lowest-cost sources of electricity in the world—will play an important role in the transition to a carbon-free energy system. However, wind energy's growth must be planned with careful consideration of atmospheric physics, turbine design, and grid resilience, as well as environmental and social impacts. Finding solutions to these types of challenges will require experts to collaborate across their disciplines.
	Renewables toolkit aims to help smooth the road to net zero Economists and environmental scientists from Northumbria University have joined forces with regional leaders across the North East to co-design a renewable energy toolkit.
	Building energy management platform uses AI and statistical methods to optimize operations The research team led by Dr. Jeong Hak-geun at the Energy ICT Research Department of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a building energy management platform technology that transforms buildings from being the main consumers of energy into entities that produce, manage, and save energy.
