“Five strangers were pulled together” in an engineering challenge to find a solution to a real-world problem.
Engineering researchers of an innovative academy program have designed a Submersible Remotely Operated Vehicle (SROV) in a span of six weeks after accepting the U.K. Navy’s challenge.
“I was skeptical at first that we could pull off such an ambitious project within the timeframe,” said Dylan Brennan, project team lead, a nuclear graduate working for Jacobs.

Nothing personal, the Sun is just going through a phase right now.
On Jan 4, 2023, our planet reached the closest point to the Sun in its orbit and is expected to be hit by the wake of a coronal mass ejection (CME) coming from the Sun, Live Science.
A coronal mass ejection is a large expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from the solar surface. When the particles in this expulsion and the magnetic field interact with the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, it compresses the latter, which is referred to as a geomagnetic storm.
Yet, it is a small percentage of its workforce.

Fast charging stations have made the impossibility of driving from California to Florida in an EV possible.
In the past few years, the use of electric vehicles has grown significantly. Tesla is among the most popular EVs in the U.S., and its empire is growing daily. Many people may think traveling across the country in an EV is near impossible. But fast charging stations have recently made the impossible possible.
There are many types of fast chargers these days. Companies like Electrify America, Tesla, and EVgo have made fast chargers that can deliver +50 kWh.

This past year, global attention has been focused on geo-strategic issues, such as the devastating war in Ukraine, which has dislocated many and caused immense suffering. Attention has also been focused on the recovery from the COVID pandemic, which was the overriding concern over the past three years. And finally, the economic destruction wrought by rapidly ramped interest rates which have targeted all sectors of the economy, particularly technology. But despite all this negativity, the business of building the future continues. There has been progress across major axes of computing, from visualization to AI and new types of processors (quantum).
With immense progress in technology, what might we look forward to in 2023?
