The US House of Representatives recently passed a bill that could potentially force TikTok to sever ties with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or face being banned from the American market. This move comes after concerns were raised by US and Western officials regarding the app’s alleged ties to Beijing and its potential for spying
In a groundbreaking decision, Volkswagen workers in Tennessee have voted overwhelmingly in favor of becoming a union shop. The election results, which were released on Friday, revealed that 73 percent of employees at the Chattanooga plant supported representation by the United Auto Workers (UAW). This marks the first major victory for organized labor at a
Residential rooftop solar panels are set to gain increasing value due to climate change in the coming years. A new study led by the University of Michigan indicates that by the end of the century, the value of solar energy could rise up to 19%. The study looks at the financial benefits of solar panels,
Scientists at the University of Bristol have recently made a groundbreaking development in the field of robotics with the creation of a new robotic suction cup. This innovative suction cup has the remarkable ability to grasp rough, curved, and heavy stone, mimicking the adaptive suction abilities found in octopus biological suckers. By studying the structures
In a groundbreaking development, off-road environment recognition technologies have been introduced in Korea to detect and eliminate extraneous substances such as dust, mud, snow, and rain during off-road autonomous driving activities. These innovative technologies have the potential to revolutionize the industrial machinery sector, including construction machinery, agricultural machines, and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), as well
Bipolar membranes are a crucial component in various energy technologies, such as electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells. These membranes consist of two layers, the cation-exchange and anion-exchange layers, which are essential for ion conduction. Despite the widespread use of bipolar membranes in the industry, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding their working
The disparity in energy consumption and emissions between nations in the Global North and the Global South is a pressing issue that has been highlighted in a recent study. Manufacturing nations in the Global North are outsourcing energy-intensive industrial processes to countries in the Global South, leading to a ‘false decoupling’ of energy consumption from
In a recent study by Professor Ana Beduschi from the University of Exeter, the need for clear guidelines in the generation and processing of synthetic data has been emphasized. Synthetic data, which is produced through machine learning algorithms from original real-world data, is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to provide privacy-preserving alternatives to
Google recently announced that it is conducting a test where it removes links to California news sites for certain users in the western US state. This move comes as legislators in California consider passing the California Journalism Preservation Act (CJPA), which would require platforms like Google to pay for connecting users to news articles.
