A cobalt-free high-energy lithium-ion battery is possible, according to the University of Texas at Austin. The cathode is made from 89% nickel, then manganese and aluminium, part of a group of alloys dubbed NMAs. They were compared with high-nickel (both also 89%) cobalt-inclusive alloys from groups called nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA), described as “the cathode materials of ...

German researchers have found a way to identify deep fake images by converting them to the frequency domain using the discrete cosine transform. The team, from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Casa (Cyber security in the age of large-scale adversaries), point those sceptical about deep fakes to the website www.whichfaceisreal.com – a website whose data set was ...
