New research has shown that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are remarkably resilient to dust during production, challenging the industry belief that high-performance solar technology must be manufactured in sterile and expensive "cleanrooms”.

Discover a groundbreaking wastewater treatment method that uses electro-filtration to remove harmful pollutants with remarkable efficiency. Learn how scientists have developed a novel membrane technology that simultaneously tackles nitrogen and carbon contaminants, offering a sustainable solution for cleaner water.

Discover how cutting-edge vision-language models are transforming mobile robot navigation in smart manufacturing. Learn about a new system that enables robots to understand natural human language and navigate complex, unstructured environments with unprecedented accuracy and adaptability.

In new research from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, Argonne National Laboratory and Purdue University, the AI-driven robotic lab Polybot designed and built new polymers that hit precise, targeted shades of orange and green – a task that takes researchers decades of experience to learn – in just 72 hours.

Korean researchers confirmed that underground wireless communication is possible, moving beyond the terrestrial wireless communication they have primarily focused on until now. This opened up a new wireless channel for confirming the survival of buried people in the event of a collapse of an underground facility such as a mine, conducting underground rescue operations, or conducting underground military operations.
