Britain’s booming green energy generation has a costly side-effect: the national electricity system operator has had to compensate wind turbine operators that could have produced more clean electricity than the grid could take.This post was […]
Just over 74% of South Africa’s electricity still comes from burning coal. In 2021, the country negotiated the Just Energy Transition Partnership with Germany, the UK, France, the US and the European Union. They committed […]
University of California, Irvine scientists have expanded on a longstanding model governing the mechanics behind slip banding, a process that produces strain marks in metals under compression, gaining a new understanding of the behavior of […]
Many robotic applications rely on robotic arms or hands to handle different types of objects. Estimating the pose of such hand-held objects is an important yet challenging task in robotics, computer vision and even in […]
With the hospitality industry embracing algorithmic management (AM)—a type of intelligent system that delegates managerial functions to algorithmic and automated programs—frontline hotel managers find themselves caught in an increasingly complex web of technology and human […]
In industry, the detection of anomalies such as scratches, dents, and discolorations is crucial to ensure product quality and safety. However, conventional methods rely on heavy computational processing and image enhancement and may not truly […]
Almost 80% of U.K. adults support national security agencies collecting and processing personal data to investigate terrorism and serious crime, according to new research by the Center for Emerging Technology and Security (CETaS) at The […]
Trees, vegetation, rocks, unpredictable terrain and the lack of clearly defined roads—or roads at all—won’t stop an autonomous, off-road vehicle developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute.This post was originally published on this […]
A team of materials scientists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in China has found that one of the major reasons solid-state lithium batteries fail over time is metal fatigue in the anode, which contributes […]
Over the past decades, many countries worldwide have been trying to gradually transform their energy systems, with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide […]
