A breakthrough in hydrogen fuel cell technology, achieved through collaborative research, has substantially lowered costs by replacing platinum metals with silver in catalysts, marking a significant step towards affordable and efficient green energy storage. As the global shift towards renewable energy sources gains momentum, there arises a crucial challenge: how to store energy effectively for…

Porsche’s history began in 1948 with the Type 356 and the company has endured for 70-plus years by continuing to stay modern while satisfying its fans. The German brand launched its first EV, the Taycan, for model year 2020 and it now makes up about nine percent of total sales in North America. The juggernaut…

Researchers from MIT and ETH Zurich have developed a machine learning-based technique to speed up the optimization process used by companies like FedEx for routing packages. This approach, which simplifies a key step in mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solvers and tailors the process using a company’s own data, has resulted in a 30 to 70…

Our brains are remarkably energy efficient. Using just 20 watts of power, the human brain is capable of processing the equivalent of an exaflop — or a billion-billion mathematical operations per second. Now, researchers in Australia are building what will be the world’s first supercomputer that can simulate networks at this scale. The supercomputer, known…

Researchers have developed a new method for creating transparent magnetic materials using laser heating. This breakthrough is crucial for integrating magneto-optical materials with optical circuits, a major challenge in the field. It promises advancements in compact magneto-optical isolators, miniaturized lasers, high-resolution displays, and small optical devices. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A new laser heating technique by a…

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. The global anti-vaccine movement and vaccine hesitancy that accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic show no signs of abating. According to a survey of U.S. adults, Americans in October 2023 were less likely to view approved vaccines as safe than they were in April 2021. As vaccine confidence falls, health misinformation continues…
