When you ask a rideshare app to find you a car, the company's computers get to work. They know you want to reach your destination quickly. They know you're not the only user who needs a ride. And they know drivers want to minimize idle time by picking up someone nearby. The computer's job, says Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Associate Professor Saket Navlakha, is to pair drivers with riders in a way that maximizes everyone's happiness.

Public power grids are highly complex systems. Wind turbine manufacturers have to comply with technical guidelines when connecting new turbines to avoid putting grid stability at risk. In the Mobil-Grid-CoP project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES have developed a mobile test platform that enables realistic tests to be performed at full load, even on offshore wind turbines out in the open. The technology is assisting in the process of validating and certifying turbines and is supporting the transformation of the energy supply with a view to using more renewable energy sources.

More charging power, higher range, lower environmental impact: In the COOLBat joint research project, researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU have teamed up with partners to develop next-generation battery enclosures for electric vehicles.

German automotive giant Volkswagen said Monday it could take the unprecedented move to close production sites in Germany and threatened further job cuts as its savings plans stalled.

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology holds significant potential for greenhouse gas detection, due to its advantages of non-contact, real-time measurements. However, the technical bottleneck of cross-interference in gas absorption spectra has significantly constrained the development and application of this technique in simultaneous measurement of multi-component gases.
