Artificial intelligence (AI) language models, such as ChatGPT, have made significant strides in various fields, from law to entertainment. However, these models still lack the capability to reason like a human. Dr. Vered Shwartz, an assistant professor in the UBC department of computer science, and masters student Mehar Bhatia explain the significance of reasoning in
Scientists are pushing the boundaries in the field of renewable energy by harnessing the power of semiconductors to convert sunlight into electricity. Traditional solar cells have long been used to convert sunlight into usable energy, but now researchers are exploring the potential of semiconductors in utilizing sunlight to convert water into hydrogen – a carbon-free
The construction industry is notorious for its excessive resource consumption and the generation of substantial amounts of waste. Among the waste products produced are construction-generated sludge (CGS) and construction-generated surplus soil (CGSS). While these materials have the potential for reuse in various applications, their highly alkaline nature poses a significant risk of soil and water
Solar energy has proven to be an invaluable resource in the face of increasing energy demands and growing environmental concerns. However, the efficiency of traditional silicon solar cell technologies still has room for improvement. Recognizing this need, a research group from the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC, Lithuania), in collaboration with partners from
Household chores are often viewed as tedious and mundane. After a long day, the last thing most people want to do is engage in domestic tasks. However, in the world of video games, these activities take on a whole new level of excitement and entertainment. Australian game developers have created innovative video games that transform
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials have shown great potential in the development of electronic devices, such as wearables and smaller electronics. These materials offer advantages over bulkier counterparts due to their ability to retain carrier mobility even at reduced thickness. However, the use of 2D semiconductors in creating monolayer transistors, which are thinner versions of crucial
Google has recently implemented measures to restrict third-party cookies for some users of its popular web browser, Chrome. This move marks a significant step towards the eventual elimination of these files, which have long been a source of concern for privacy advocates. However, Google emphasizes that the complete removal of third-party cookies will require approval
In today’s world, communication infrastructure plays a critical role in enabling the quick and easy sharing of information. However, while urban African communities have benefited from this connectivity, the same cannot be said for rural areas. In these regions, where resources are scarce and investment opportunities are limited, residents face significant challenges in reliable communication.
The European Union (EU) has become increasingly concerned about its supply-chain vulnerabilities, especially in industries such as auto, computer, electronics, and energy. The reliance on non-EU countries for critical raw materials has exposed the EU to geopolitical risks and potential disruptions. In response to these concerns, experts like Dr. Arne Petter Ratvik and Dr. Jewellord
