By Drew Turney published
When exposed to terms common in different racial dialects, large language models make racist assumptions about people from particular racial groups, even without explicitly knowing their race.
'Springy' solid-state battery is twice the width of a white blood cell and could drastically increase EV range
By Jane McCallion published
Scientists in the U.S. have created a battery for electric cars that could be safer and offer better performance than the ones we have now thanks to a unique design.
Amazingly simple discovery extends Li-ion battery lifespan by 50% — meaning you don't have to replace your gadgets as often
By Skyler Ware published
Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan.
