UNSW researchers have made a major breakthrough in renewable energy technology by producing electricity from so-called “night-time” solar power. The team from the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering generated electricity from heat radiated as infrared light, in the same way as the Earth cools by radiating into space at night. A semiconductor device […]
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a control system that could make most of America’s homes more capable partners in managing the nation’s electricity resources. The control system effectively transforms existing home heating and cooling units and hot water heaters into smart appliances that can manage their electricity use in ways that […]
There were lots of light-hearted jokes to be had after Google announced the Pixel Watch at I/O last week, mostly because rumors of such a watch’s existence have carried on for years. We actually laughed a bit when it was official, because we almost weren’t sure it was really official. It is official, by the […]
Ming-Chi Kuo is one of a handful of Apple analysts whose reports always warrant a second look, regardless of how strange they might seem at first blush. We’ve heard plenty of reports that the company is testing its own version of a foldable device, in its customary style of being fashionably late to the party, […]
There’s a competition in electric vehicle technology that has so far stayed distant from the United States. In many Asian markets, where scooters and small-engine motorcycles outnumber cars, several players are building electric two-wheelers powered by compact lithium-ion batteries that can be removed from the bike entirely and swapped for a freshly charged unit in […]
In February Apple unveiled Tap to Pay, a new feature that will enable merchants to accept payments with only an iPhone — something that could cut into the business of companies like Square. Now, it turns out that Apple is already testing the feature at its own Apple Park visitor center in Cupertino. A video […]
Earlier this year, Apple had been testing a new feature to let developers charge increased prices for auto-renewable subscriptions. Although this “pilot program” was restricted to selected developers, Apple is now rolling out these changes to everyone – although it has some limits. Currently, when the developer increases the price of an auto-renewable subscription, users […]
In 2007, 22-year-old P. Ramesh’s groundnut farm was losing money. As was the norm in most of India (and still is), Ramesh was using a cocktail of pesticides and fertilizers across his 2.4 hectares in the Anantapur district of southern India. In this desert-like area, which gets less than 600 millimeters of rainfall most years, […]
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards based on the next-generation Ada Lovelace GPU architecture may launch much earlier than anticipated. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Graphics Cards With Ada Lovelace GPUs Launching In Early Q3 For Gamers, Alleges Rumor The latest rumor regarding the launch happening in Early Q3 2022 comes once again from […]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a very common term today, but what present-day AI is and what most people think it is, can be very different. The AI you know is “weak” AI, but the AI many fear is “strong.” What Is Artificial Intelligence Actually? It’s easy to throw around a term like “AI”, but that […]
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found a way to create biocement from waste, making the alternative to regular cement even greener and more sustainable. Biocement is a renewable form of cement that typically uses bacteria to form a hardening reaction that binds soil into a solid block. The NTU scientists have […]
