Apple’s iPhone has become a household name, with billions of devices sold worldwide. However, in recent years, the incremental upgrades from one model to the next have led to a stagnation in sales. The eagerly awaited iPhone 16 is expected to change this trend with a groundbreaking shift into artificial intelligence (AI). This new era
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been hailed as the technology of the future, with promises of increased efficiency and productivity. However, the recent release of voluntary AI safety standards by the Australian government has brought to light the darker side of this fast-growing technology. While the federal Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic, emphasizes the
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials have sparked interest in the field of optoelectronics due to their unique properties. Researchers have been exploring ways to integrate these materials into electronic components to create ultra-thin and flexible devices. However, challenges remain in effectively interfacing 2D materials with gate dielectrics without degrading performance. Recent work by researchers at King
In a world where climate change is becoming an increasingly urgent concern, the United States is looking towards greater home electrification as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Heat pumps, an energy-efficient system that combines both heating and cooling functionalities into one appliance, are at the forefront of this push. While heat pumps are
In response to an engine fire on a Cathay Pacific flight, Europe’s aviation safety agency has announced that inspections will be required for a portion of the fleet of Airbus A350 wide-body jets. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of these aircraft and has prompted airlines to take precautionary measures to ensure the
In a recent study conducted by Lanbo Xu from Northeastern University in Shenyang, China, new research has been introduced to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of dynamic emotion recognition. This method utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze facial expressions in real time. The implications of this research extend beyond simple facial recognition technology
Fuel cells have long been hailed as a promising energy-conversion solution that can generate electricity without contributing to air pollution. These cells have the potential to power a wide range of technologies, from electric vehicles to industrial machines. However, the widespread adoption of fuel cells has been hindered by the reliance on expensive materials and
Public transit has long been a staple in urban and suburban communities as a means of transportation for commuters. However, the traditional bus-based fixed routes have often been criticized for being slow, unreliable, and wasteful. This has led researchers at Concordia to explore a new, innovative solution to these issues. The Concept of On-Demand Transit
The “dieselgate” scandal that rocked Volkswagen in 2015 was a massive blow to the German auto industry. Former CEO Martin Winterkorn is set to go on trial after nine years of investigations and legal battles. The scandal involved the use of defeat devices in millions of vehicles worldwide, manipulating emissions levels during lab tests to
