False alarm or a major incident? Sensor system identifies cause of alarm in hard-to-access industrial plants

The team has developed software that uses AI and machine learning techniques to enable their knowledge about signal pattern recognition to be applied not just…

Penn Engineering's new scavenger technology allows robots to 'eat' metal for energy

When electronics need their own power sources, there are two basic options: batteries and harvesters. Batteries store energy internally, but are therefore…

Tandem solar cell world record: New branch in the NREL chart

CIGS cells, which consist of copper, indium, gallium and selenium, can be deposited as thin-films with a total thickness of only 3 to 4 micrometers; the…
