Study shows that if autonomous vehicles are widely adopted, hardware efficiency will need to advance rapidly to keep computing-related emissions in check. In the future, the energy needed to run the powerful computers on board a global fleet of autonomous vehicles could generate as many greenhouse gas emissions as all the data centers in the world today. That is one …

From the National Observer "It takes nothing away from the scientists’ achievement this week to recognize that public reaction to the fusion announcement was very peculiar. Rapturous coverage throughout the mediasphere, viral zealotry on social media. Most notable and most difficult to achieve: full brain-worm penetration among the general public. Not just among the Popular Mechanics crowd but deep into circles …

The fast moving excitement of smart phones and computer screens eclipses the slow motion of the natural world. What the natural world lacks in speed it makes up for in depth. Over billions of years it has developed intricately cooperative associations upon which we humans have always depended. Perhaps the hard knocks of climate change will call us back to …

GBatteries has found a way to reduce dendrite formation using charging algorithms that combine carefully designed pulse characteristics and real-time monitoring to optimize the charging process and prevent dendrite growth. This achievement was demonstrated in a live demo and could be a major step towards making low-cost Li-metal batteries commercially viable. GBatteries' breakthrough in Li-metal battery technology is an exciting development …

The largest share of Ottawa’s greenhouse gas emissions (45 per cent) come from homes and other buildings. These emissions are mostly from burning natural gas for heat and hot water. Making energy efficiency improvements to your home is one of the most important actions required to meet Ottawa’s target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. To meet this …

No one needs convincing that we are living in hard times and in an age of chaos and breakdowns. Even those with no understanding of the runaway nature of biospheric and civilizational decline feel the stress. Just to read or watch today’s propaganda, formerly known as “the news”, is a sobering (or un-sobering!) experience. So... How do we cope? How …
