Would it be possible to build a refinery that is completely fossil-free, and thereby significantly contributing to a carbon-neutral society by as early as 2050? According to two chemists from Utrecht University it is. In a Nature article, they present a roadmap in which oil refineries could be reinvented to be completely fossil-free. Processes will […]
The wind industry could benefit from the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to design and deploy wind plants, according to an article in Nature Energy written by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The researchers developed an AI-based surrogate model called the Wind Plant Graph Neural Network (WPGNN), which […]
A fresh Big Tech boomlet has arrived. Shareholders aren’t just seeing their stock prices swell, they are getting paid too. The dividend, its importance demoted over the past couple of decades by the tech boom, is having a moment again thanks in part to the same companies that made it passé. In February, META (META) initiated a […]
Much of the recent AI hype train has centered around mesmerizing digital content generated from simple prompts, alongside concerns about its ability to decimate the workforce and make malicious propaganda much more convincing. (Fun!) However, some of AI’s most promising — and potentially much less ominous — work lies in medicine. A new update to […]
In a world where the appetite for energy is insatiable, the battery market has become the playground for some of the brightest minds aiming to fuel everything from cell phones to electric vehicles. However, as our gadgets become even smarter, the traditional batteries we’ve relied on seem ever so dim-witted in comparison. Enter the era […]
Researchers at ETH Zurich led by Robert Boes are developing specific solutions to optimize electricity production from Swiss hydropower plants. This will ensure that hydropower remains the backbone of Switzerland’s electricity supply in the future. “Although Swiss hydropower is a proven technology, we must constantly work on optimizing it. If we don’t, electricity production and storage at […]
According to rumors hitting the windmill, OpenAI is reportedly set to debut a new search engine to take on Google and Microsoft’s Bing. The ChatGPT maker is slated to make the new product this week during a developer conference. Google continues to dominate the search market share despite Microsoft’s big AI push on Bing.
