While artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools are now commonly used to enhance technological applications, the underpinnings of many of these tools are hard to decipher. This is because most of them are based on 'black box' models, models that analyze...
As hydrogen inside fuel cells can generate electrical power, scalable methods to reliably split water into hydrogen and oxygen could have valuable implications for the energy industry. These methods could help to produce large amounts of hydrogen for more sustainable...
When tackling missions as a team, robots should be able to coordinate their efforts, for instance, completing different sub-tasks, monitoring different parts of a target environment, and so on. Over the past few years, computer scientists have therefore been...
All-perovskite tandem solar cells, stacks of p-n junctions formed from perovskites with different energy bandgaps, have the potential of achieving higher efficiencies than conventional single-junction solar cells. So far, however, most proposed all-perovskite tandem...
Past psychology and neuroscience studies have often investigated how humans perceive different faces during social interactions. Some studies suggest that on average humans tend to find some faces more attractive than others, thus their ratings for specific faces can...
Through their fingertips, humans can touch and grip onto things in their surrounding environment, but they can also sense the tactile properties of objects and detect other atmospheric changes. Fingertips are incredibly sensitive parts of our skin, with unique...
Artificial intelligence (AI) models have already made their way into a wide range of real-world settings, helping humans to tackle everyday problems faster and more efficiently. Recently, computer scientists have also been exploring their potential for assisting...
Most humans are innately able to identify the individual attributes of sensory stimuli, such as objects they are seeing, sounds they are hearing, and so on. While artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become increasingly better at recognizing specific objects in...
Artificial intelligence (AI) recently started making its way into many creative industries, for instance, in the form of tools for digital artists, architects, interior designers and image editors. In these contexts, AI can automate processes that are tedious or time...
