Machine learning approach opens insights into an entire class of materials being pursued for solid-state batteries

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, sustainability, transportation

A team of researchers at Duke University and their collaborators have uncovered the atomic mechanisms that make a class of compounds called argyrodites attractive candidates for both solid-state battery electrolytes and thermoelectric energy converters.

The discoveries—and the machine learning approach used to make them—could help usher in a new era of energy storage for applications such as household battery walls and fast-charging electric vehicles.

The results appeared online May 18 in the journal Nature Materials.

Sorry, Elon Musk — To Suggest Remote Work Isn’t ‘Morally Right’ is a Flawed Attempt to Push Your In-Person Work Agenda. Here’s Why

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, sustainability

It’s as though Musk views in-person work as a kind of hazing ritual — he and others did it, so you have to do it too. Well, as my mom frequently said when I proposed doing something dumb because others did it, “If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?”

Picture this: Musk standing on the precipice of the Golden Gate Bridge, urging us all to leap into the frigid waters below simply because he took the plunge. While his bravado might be admired by some, it’s not a practical or sustainable model for the future of work. Here’s a thought: rather than Musk’s daredevil dive into the deep abyss of forced in-office work, perhaps we should consider a more measured, flexible and hybrid approach to work, one that incorporates both remote and in-person options, as I tell my clients.

Modified NASA space tech provides sustainable batteries that last 30 years

Posted by in categories: climatology, satellites, sustainability

It “lasts more than three times as long” as lithium-ion, according to EnerVenue CEO Jorg Heinemann.

With the advent of space tourism for the world’s wealthiest and a looming global recession, there has been a predictable increase in arguments against public spending on space technologies.

However, those calling to halt space operations often ignore the immense benefits space technologies bring us here on Earth. Obvious examples come in the form of GPS and the many satellites used to investigate the effects of climate change.

Solar Cells Harvesting Water From Air Using Waste Heat Grow Spinach In Desert

Posted by in categories: physics, solar power, sustainability

Waste heat produced by solar cells undermines their performance, but the race is on to harness it for useful purposes. Researchers have found a way to tap into that heat to collect water out of the air, and have demonstrated the effectiveness of the idea by growing spinach in the Arabian desert, one of the driest places on Earth.

Tesla Bot Update: The humanoid is getting better and is learning faster than humans

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, sustainability

The company hasn’t really put a date for their actual deployment in its own factories.

Elon Musk’s electric car to solar-making company, Tesla, also has one more product in the pipeline aimed at wooing customers, The Tesla Bot. Musk announced the bipedal robot in 2021, and recently the company has provided an update on its progress through a 65-second video.
