With the race to build a new generation of computers heating up, European companies are eyeing the game-changing opportunities.

Germany on Tuesday launched what it called "an innovative" multi-billion-euro subsidy scheme aimed at turbocharging investments that will make industrial production in Europe's top economy more climate-friendly.

Mientras las sociedades buscan formas de reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y frenar el cambio climático, la energía solar a gran escala está desempeñando un papel central.Los científicos del clima la ven como la herramienta con mayor potencial para reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono para 2030. En Estados Unidos, el Departamento de Energía predice que la energía solar representará casi el 60% de toda la nueva capacidad de generación de electricidad a escala comercial instalada en 2024.

As extreme fire weather becomes more common across ever larger areas of Australia, we need new options for living with the risk of bushfire. Underground or earth-sheltered housing is one possibility. While still unusual, these homes are being built in bushfire-prone areas.

While most computing in the world is still digital, the data around us is captured in analog via sensors–images through cameras, temperature, and sound, for example, and has to be converted into a digital form for precision. But imagine an autonomous vehicle that needs to capture what's on the road and then make decisions instantaneously: this data needs to be converted very quickly with low energy and high precision.

Splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico closed out a 199-day mission spanning 3,184 orbits and 84.4 million miles.

Technologies that can store the energy produced by photovoltaics and wind turbines could play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy sector. The operation of both solar cells and wind turbines relies on suitable weather conditions, and grid-scale energy storage solutions could help to store the energy produced when the sun is out and the wind is blowing so that it can be used later.

El innovador dirigible británico Airlander 10 pronto podría surcar los cielos para ofrecer a los pasajeros de placer vistas panorámicas y mucha menos contaminación que los aviones tradicionales, según su fabricante.

For 27 years, the heat in Regina Fred's Queens apartment building came from a noisy steam radiator that she couldn't control and sometimes didn't come on at all, leaving her shivering. Sometimes, the radiators ran so hot that residents had to keep their windows open in the middle of winter for relief.

A paper aiming to provide guidance for research on the energy management strategies (EMSs) for flying cars driven by hybrid electric propulsion systems (HEPSs) by comprehensively summarizing the EMSs of HEPSs for vehicles and aircraft under three-dimensional transportation networks has been published in the journal Green Energy and Intelligent Transportation.

To help curb climate change, the United States is working to reduce carbon emissions from all sectors of the energy economy. Much of the current effort involves electrification—switching to electric cars for transportation, electric heat pumps for home heating, and so on.

New research from U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers delivers a novel contribution to fiber optics computing. Titled "Fiber optic computing using distributed feedback," the paper published in Communications Physics journal brings the Navy one step closer to faster, more efficient computing technologies.

Hay mucha energía mecánica en las actividades humanas, pero las actividades humanas son de baja frecuencia e irregulares.Como tal, el modo tradicional de generación de energía electromagnética no puede recolectar esta energía de manera eficiente sin afectar las actividades normales del cuerpo humano.

En muchas ciudades de todo el mundo, la noción de caminar como movilidad urbana sostenible se está volviendo cada vez más popular.Mejorar la transitabilidad de las ciudades tiene muchos beneficios, incluida una mejor salud, una reducción del tráfico y, en consecuencia, una menor contaminación del aire.Para mejorar la caminabilidad, es importante realizar un análisis exhaustivo de qué factores hacen que las ciudades sean más transitables.

Fotos de desnudos de la superestrella del pop Taylor Swift inundaron recientemente las redes sociales X, donde fueron vistas y compartidas por millones de usuarios.Pero las imágenes no eran reales: eran falsificaciones creadas con inteligencia artificial (IA).El incidente avivó el debate sobre la regulación de los deepfakes y llamó tanta atención que la Casa Blanca se involucró.

During the most recent total solar eclipse visible in the U.S., on Aug. 21, 2017, the skies darkened as the moon crossed in front of the sun. It blocked out all sunlight—except for that from a golden ring visible around the moon's shape, called the corona. Not surprisingly, solar power generation across North America plummeted for several hours, from the first moment the moon began to obscure the sun to when the sun's disk was clear again.

A New York City bill to ban laundry pods is one of many proposed solutions to an environmental disaster.

He aquí un tipo que no tiene problemas para enterrar secretos, porque el francés Damien Boschetto ha estado sentado sobre uno enorme (del tamaño de un dinosaurio, literalmente) durante casi dos años.

Gorongosa quedó devastada por años de guerra, pero ahora el parque y las personas que lo rodean están obteniendo nuevas oportunidades gracias a la fundación sin fines de lucro del filántropo Greg Carr.

U.S. aerospace company Stratolaunch conducted the first powered test flight of a new unmanned craft for hypersonic research on Saturday and called it a success.
