With antibiotics losing their effectiveness, one company is turning to gene editing and bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—to combat infections.
Engineers are scrambling to prevent disaster, but is it too late after decades of neglect?
The 72-cell panels, comprised of Oxford PV’s proprietary perovskite-on-silicon solar cells, can produce up to 20% more energy than a standard silicon panel.
Oxford PV has been developing and working to commercialise this technology since 2014, with a recent module efficiency record of 26.9%
Oxford PV announces world-first commercial sale of next-generation perovskite tandem solar panels set to transform the energy industry and accelerate progress towards clean energy goals.05 Sept 2024 — Oxford PV, a global leader in next-generation solar, has started the commercialisation of their rec...
The US used to get most of its enriched uranium from Russia. Now scientists and companies are racing to produce it at home.
Eastern equine encephalitis, which has a high mortality rate, is becoming more common in North America as climate changes expands the habitats of insects.
BMW sees hydrogen as complementary to battery EVs on a region-by-region basis.
Under protective coverings, piles of snow can be stored for a surprisingly long time, allowing ski resorts to mitigate some of the lack of snowfall caused by climate change.
Things are likely to remain volatile and unpredictable. And that’s okay.

Summary:
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are using AI to develop a more efficient method for producing green hydrogen. The researchers have been searching for the optimal alloy or metal combination to act as a catalyst, aiming to make the reaction more efficient and affordable. The AI program analyzed over 36,000 metal oxide combinations through virtual simulations and tested the top candidate in the lab. The recommended alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium emerged as the clear winner, demonstrating 20 times better stability and durability than the benchmark metal.
Researchers at the University of Toronto are utilizing AI to advance breakthroughs in sustainable energy.
The age of AI music is upon us — and already, hucksters seem to be gaming Spotify to profit from their crappy wares.
Sustainable aviation fuels work, but can they be made in sufficient quantity to replace fossil fuels?
The US city of Milwaukee is already home to the world’s tallest timber tower. But another, even taller, wooden skyscraper could be added to its skyline.
The islands are the windiest part of the UK, which means it will be rare for the turbines not to be spinning.
Futuristic plans for tourists to fly over Paris stalled as critics derided flying taxis as an “absurd” invention that will “only benefit a few ultrarich people.”
Wasted radio signals can be converted into electricity using a new kind of antenna rooted in how electrons behave at a quantum level.
Yes, their data does count battery storage as operating capacity. Isn't that a useful metric though, since batteries will complement the grid during solar downtime?
Solar alone made up 60% of the 20.2 gigawatts of fresh capacity that went online from January through June. A large chunk of this can be attributed...
Ireland is going to have to move property and key infrastructure such as railway lines away from coastal areas due to climate breakdown, according to Trinity College Dublin’s (TCD) first chair of climate science Prof Karen Wiltshire.
There are around 100,000 EVs in Ethiopia so far.
The Ethiopian government estimates that number will more than quadruple by 2032. That’s largely because the national government took the extraordinary step earlier this year of banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles — becoming the first nation in the world to do so.
Long lines have been forming at gas stations in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, amid fuel shortages and a price spike in recent months.
I get creeped out even answering to an AI bot screening phone support calls. Having video AI interviewer is a whole another level of creep.

Probably means the solutions to plastic crap are wild/crazy/unconventional ideas implying "loony".
We had a technical issue that impacted the federation with other instances. It's resolved now so there's more visibility.
Right? AI chatbots are so bad with hallucinations. As a programmer I can usually spot the inaccurate code chatbot is spewing, but these kids won't be able to spot the inaccuracy unless there's very strict quality control..which would require human teachers anyway.
The fix doesn't help much for already affected systems, as they're even unable to boot. Only workaround is to manually delete the files in safe mode for every system one by one, which is even more difficult if it's bitlocker protected.
Absolutely crazy that they managed to screw up this bad.

They seem to be experimenting with that for sure, but need to ensure quality of the model doesn't degrade, as per source article:
Anthropic’s chief scientist, Jared Kaplan, said some types of synthetic data can be helpful. Anthropic said it used “data we generate internally” to inform its latest versions of its Claude models. OpenAI also is exploring synthetic data generation, the spokeswoman said.
Probably those who distrust technology companies in general I'd guess.
