Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, say they have developed lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries that have twice the energy density of traditional lithium-ion batteries, but that is only half of the story. The other news is that those lithium sulfur batteries can charge and discharge faster than conventional batteries and are also lighter and less costly […]
The official kick-off to Black Friday 2024 is just hours away, but Amazon is already dashing through the snow with seasonal savings on coveted Apple products, which rarely see sales. Right now, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which normally sells around $700) is on sale for $620. That’s a whopping $179 discount on Apple’s best […]
If you have a computer that you’re not using to its full potential and a tablet for your everyday needs, why not combine the two? Microsoft offers a “hybrid PC” that functions as a tablet with Windows which you can transform into a full-fledged PC with accessories like a keyboard or mouse. This device is […]
Being able to charge your car at home is a big drawcard for many electric vehicle buyers. But it’s rare to find chargers installed at apartment complexes in Australia. Getting chargers into existing apartment blocks can be complicated. Owners may not agree on whether to install them, or which technology to use. And the complex […]
Trafigura Group has ordered thousands of tons of zinc out of London Metal Exchange warehouses, fueling a rally in prices, according to people familiar with the matter. Orders to withdraw zinc from warehouses overseen by the exchange have surged by 97,225 tons over the past two days, the biggest jump in more than a decade. […]
A research team headed by Prof. Karl Leo at TUD Dresden University of Technology have developed an innovative, nature-inspired solution that could revolutionize the electronics industry: “Leaftronics.” This innovative approach leverages the natural structure of leaves to create biodegradable electronic substrates with enhanced properties and offers a sustainable, efficient, and scalable solution to the global-waste […]
Structural batteries are used in industries such as eco-friendly, energy-based automobiles, mobility, and aerospace, and they must simultaneously meet the requirements of high energy density for energy storage and high load-bearing capacity. Conventional structural battery technology has struggled to enhance both functions concurrently. However, KAIST researchers have succeeded in developing foundational technology to address this […]
As we reported last month, OpenAI has finally launched SearchGPT, which is essentially a search engine developed by OpenAI that uses artificial intelligence to find and combine the best results from the web. And with the latest ChatGPT update for iOS, it’s now easier to use SearchGPT. ChatGPT app adds SearchGPT extension to Apple Shortcuts The […]
OpenAI has cut off testing access to its Sora video generation platform after a group of artists briefly shared their own early access in a publicly usable webpage Tuesday. The group, going by the moniker PR Puppets, claims the stunt was a protest against being asked to work as unpaid R&D and bug testers while […]
Researchers at Australia’s Monash University are close to solving one of the biggest challenges with eVTOL aircraft. The team’s new lithium-sulfur battery tech is designed to deliver roughly twice the energy density of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, as well as speedy charging and discharging – enabling the sort of power delivery needed in the skies. Until […]
BYD aims to launch its Blade Battery by 2025. BYD’s managing director of BYD Central Asia in Europe Auto Sales Division, Cao Shuang, shared information about the company’s battery tech development sector. Shuang talked a little bit about BYD’s Blade Battery and its launch. “So very soon, I think in the coming years, 2025, BYD […]
OpenAI first teased its text-to-video AI model, Sora, back in February and hasn’t provided any meaningful updates on when it will be released since then. Now, it looks like some artists leaked access to the model in protest of being used by the company for what they claim is “unpaid R&D and PR.” On Tuesday, a group […]
