Segmented lead-free piezoelectric elements in shear wave mode (left) and the resulting omnidirectional sensor (right). Credit: Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) The Intelligent Wave Engineering Team of the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and the Electro Ceramics Laboratory of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Korea University (KU) have collaborated to develop a cutting-edge ultrasound sensor that ensures the safety of large structures, especially water supply pipelines. The inspection of water supply pipelines using guided waves is a non-destructive testing method used to detect damage such as corrosion within the pipes. The…
A hot potato: Being among the most played games on the market has made Roblox and Fortnite prime targets for scams and cyberattacks. However, their popularity among kids has made them especially desirable for cybercriminals. A recent report found fraudulent links targeting Roblox and Fortnite players hiding on dozens of .gov and .org domains promising free in-game content in exchange for personal information. Security researchers at multiple organizations have revealed a wide-reaching cyber scam campaign hiding malicious links in search results and websites that should be trustworthy. Wired notes that the schemes include fraudulent offers related to many popular services.…

Vertically aligned coaxial nanowires in an electrode with protons transported in the ionomer core inside the nanowire. Electrons transported in the platinum nanofilm shell combine with oxygen to complete the fuel cell cathode reaction. Credit: Los Alamos National Laboratory A promising, more durable fuel cell design could help transform heavy-duty trucking and other clean fuel cell applications. Consisting of nanowires that are less susceptible to corrosion than other designs, the innovative electrode—the heart of a polymer electrolyte-membrane fuel cell—could usher in a new era for fuel cells, which use hydrogen as emission-free power for vehicles. “In real-world terms, this means…
Amazon announced this morning it will begin to leverage generative AI to help customers better understand what customers are saying about a product, without necessarily having to read through dozens of individual reviews. The retailer says it will use the new technology to provide a short paragraph of text right on the product detail page that will highlight the product features and customer sentiment mentioned across the customer reviews. This blub of text could be used to get an overall sense of the common themes across the reviews more easily, Amazon noted. In addition to the summary text, Amazon will…
