Can AI crave a favourite food? Innovators put artificial intelligence to the taste bud test
From Penn State 09/10/23 Can artificial intelligence (AI) get hungry? Develop a taste for certain foods? Not yet, but a team of Penn State researchers is developing a novel electronic tongue that mimics how taste influences what we eat based on both needs and wants, providing a possible blueprint for AI that processes information more […]
Novel battery technology with negligible voltage decay developed at CityU, a world’s first
From City University of Hong Kong 03/10/23 A pivotal breakthrough in battery technology that has profound implications for our energy future has been achieved by a joint-research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU). The new development overcomes the persistent challenge of voltage decay and can lead to significantly higher energy storage capacity. […]
Are you a grow-bot? AI drones to help farmers optimise vegetable harvests
From University of Tokyo 09/10/23 For reasons of food security and economic incentive, farmers continuously seek to maximize their marketable crop yields. As plants grow inconsistently, at the time of harvesting, there will inevitably be variations in quality and size of individual crops. Finding the optimal time to harvest is therefore a priority for farmers. […]

Ecstatic chats! MDMA boosts feelings of connection during conversation
From University of Chicago Medicine 05/10/23 MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, is a recreational psychedelic drug often used at parties and dance clubs because it creates feelings of closeness and social connection with others. Because of this “empathogenic” effect, researchers are also interested in its potential use as a complement to traditional talk therapy. In […]
Can you feel the carbon in the air tonight? Carbon capture method plucks CO2 straight from the air
From Northwestern University 06/10/23 Even as the world slowly begins to decarbonize industrial processes, achieving lower concentrations of atmospheric carbon requires technologies that remove existing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — rather than just prevent the creation of it. Typical carbon capture catches CO2 directly from the source of a carbon-intensive process. Ambient carbon capture, […]
