1 hour ago Microwave sintering slashes hydrogen cell production time and energy use

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), a key technology for producing green hydrogen without carbon emissions, require a high-temperature "sintering" process to harden ceramic powders. Researchers at KAIST, led by Professor Kang Taek Lee from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, have successfully shortened this process from six hours to just 10 minutes, while also reducing the required temperature from 1,400°C to 1,200°C.

4 h. ago The great search divide: How AI and traditional web searches differ

As anyone who uses the internet will know, the way we find information has fundamentally changed. For the last three decades, search engines have delivered ranked lists of links in response to our queries, and it was our job to search through them to find what we wanted. Now, major search engines use generative AI tools to deliver a single coherent answer, often embedded with a few links. But how does this approach compare with the traditional method? In a comprehensive new study, scientists compared these two approaches to see what we are gaining and losing.

There's a lion's share of potential energy in the vibrations produced by footsteps on dance floors, exercise machines in the gym, or the engines of cars, planes or construction equipment. Some tech companies have already begun to harvest electricity from waste vibrations to power lights and recharge batteries using a class of piezoelectric ceramic materials, which emit electrical charges when stepped on or manipulated.
