This study strongly illustrates that optimizing 3D printing parameters would enhance a triboelectric nanogenerator's performance. The design improvements substantiate the potential of optimized, 3D-printed TENGs for developing scalable, cost-effective solutions for powering low-energy electronics, particularly in applications such as structural health monitoring.

This manuscript describes a new method of on-the-go passwords using typing characteristics. The authors developed a keyboard and keystroke recording setup and tested it with 30 participants. The results indicated the five chosen parameters are distinct across participants yet consistent across time for each participant, making it a plausible candidate for a behavior-based password system.

Bacteriophage TLS sensitizes Escherichia coli to antibiotics

Emann et al. | Mar 04, 2026

Bacteriophage TLS sensitizes <i>Escherichia coli</i> to antibiotics

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health threat, and one strategy to combat it is using bacteriophages to enhance the effectiveness of existing antibiotics. This study tested whether targeting the TolC protein in E. coli with the TLS bacteriophage would increase bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics.

Large Language Models are Good Translators

Zeng et al. | Oct 16, 2024

Large Language Models are Good Translators

Machine translation remains a challenging area in artificial intelligence, with neural machine translation (NMT) making significant strides over the past decade but still facing hurdles, particularly in translation quality due to the reliance on expensive bilingual training data. This study explores whether large language models (LLMs), like GPT-4, can be effectively adapted for translation tasks and outperform traditional NMT systems.
