Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a topic of much debate and concern as the technology continues to advance rapidly. The Australian government recently released voluntary AI safety standards and a proposals paper to address the need for greater regulation in the use of AI, particularly in high-risk situations. However, the call for more people to
The development of two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials has opened up new possibilities in the world of optoelectronics. These materials offer unique properties that could revolutionize the design of ultra-thin and tunable electronic components. However, despite their potential advantages over traditional bulk semiconductors, researchers have faced challenges in effectively integrating these materials with gate dielectrics. This
The United States is on the brink of a massive shift towards greater home electrification, with heat pumps emerging as a key component in this transition. While not as flashy as electric cars or as well-known as solar panels, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient solution for both heating and cooling homes. Despite being widely used
In light of the recent engine fire on a Cathay Pacific flight involving an Airbus A350 aircraft, Europe’s aviation safety agency has mandated inspections for part of the A350 fleet currently in operation. The incident, which occurred shortly after take-off on a Zurich-bound flight, prompted Cathay to ground 48 planes for safety checks. The European
