Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool for researchers, but with a significant limitation: The inability to explain how it came to its decisions, a problem known as the “AI black box.”

Rice University researchers have developed a smart material that adjusts its transparency with changes in temperature, outperforming similar materials in terms of durability, transparency and responsiveness.

The blades of propellers and wind turbines are designed based on aerodynamics principles that were first described mathematically more than a century ago.

New research from Northwestern University has systematically proven that a mild zap of electricity can strengthen a marine coastline for generations — greatly reducing the threat of erosion in the face of climate change and rising sea levels.

In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of carbon dioxide emissions, a UCF researcher has developed a new technology that captures carbon dioxide and outputs useful fuels and chemicals.

Researchers from Osaka University manipulate how light-absorbing molecules fit together to improve the performance of optoelectronic devices.

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have achieved a significant milestone in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels and chemicals, marking an important step towards a sustainable net-zero economy.

UTA scientist’s research shows how global warming is slowing formation of new permafrost.

A team of researchers from Nagoya University in Japan has developed a loop heat pipe (LHP) that can transport up to 10 kW of heat without the need for electricity. 

Chemists have been working to synthesize high-value materials from waste molecules for years. Now, an international collaboration of scientists is exploring ways to use electricity to streamline the process.
