A new paper concludes a seven year journey by the paper's co-author Austin Sendek, whose AI algorithms identified a promising new material for better batteries. A compound known as "LBS" has shown it can hold high levels of electricity without breaking down.
Adding real-world driving data to battery management software and computer models of battery pack performance can lead to longer-lasting, more reliable batteries.
At the meeting on June 20 with President Joe Biden, and leaders in AI including Stanford HAI Co-Director Fei-Fei Li and HAI Associate Director Rob Reich, the president was urged to invest in AI to ensure America's leadership.
Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Washington State University showed a way to remove methane from the exhaust of engines that burn natural gas. Engines that run natural gas power 30 - 40 million vehicles worldwide.
Stanford researchers have improved on current LLM optimization methods called Sophia that cuts the pretraining time in half. The team hopes to see Sophia applied to other areas of machine learning such as computer vision models or multi-modal models
This report documents the progress that is being made in expanding the extraction and processing of rare earth elements and lithium. While progress has been made in extraction and processing in Australia the United States and elsewhere, there is still much work to be done to assure a sufficient and reliable supply of critical materials.
Improved coordination of demands and resources on the electric grid could be achieved by installing software in homes and business. Stanford researchers say that coordination, if implemented widely, can accomplish more at far less expense and costly infrastructure upgrades
Stanford researchers evaluate whether major foundation model providers comply with the proposed EU law on AI. They provide recommendations that policymakers prioritize transparency and providers take action to collectively set industry standards that improve transparency.
A recent paper by Stanford researchers, Foundation Models and Fair Use, provides a historical context of fair use and lays out several hypotheticals to illustrate the knotty issues AI raises.
SLAC scientist Johanna Nelson Weker and her team are focused on finding ways to design batteries in a sustainable way, such as by using abundant materials rather than lithium and cobalt, which are more limited. In this Q&A, Nelson Weker tells us what the future of battery design could look like.
