A new study shows that federal regulations on the energy efficiency of heavy trucks may be less effective than expected. Cheaper truck transport encourages the transition from rail to truck transport, increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
A team of experts from the University of California Riverside has discovered bacteria from the genus Acetobacterium that can break the stable chemical bonds of PFAS, making a significant breakthrough in the treatment of contaminated drinking water sources.
Scientists at Cambridge University have developed stretchy gelatin batteries, inspired by electric eels, that could revolutionize wearable devices and medical implants. These batteries combine stretchability and conductivity in one material.
Water lentil, a small aquatic plant rich in protein, has the potential to transform human nutrition. Scientists have developed methods to extract high-quality protein, which could significantly contribute to a sustainable and nutritious food future
Mit researchers have developed an effective way to improve estimates of machine learning uncertainty, enabling more accurate and faster results in applications such as healthcare. This method helps users make informed decisions based on model reliability.
Researchers from mit and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Laboratory have developed a new technique to assess the reliability of foundation models before applying them to specific tasks, using an algorithm to assess model consistency. This solution can help reduce errors in safety-critical situations and enable better model selection without the need to test on actual data.
