Advancing power grounding systems: A novel predictive model for soil resistivity
September 11, 2024
Proper power grounding systems are necessary for maintaining the safety and reliability of critical electrical subsystem infrastructure, such as substations. Power grounding systems provide a low-resistance path for electrical fault currents to flow into the earth, preventing electrical shocks, fires, and damage to vital equipment. Investigation of soil resistivity is crucial for designing power grounding […]
A charge ahead: Carrier pre-intercalation techniques boost alternative battery performance
September 11, 2024
As the demand for energy storage diversifies, the limitations of lithium supplies drive a shift toward alternative technologies. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc-ion batteries emerge as promising contenders, yet face challenges in capacity, charge-discharge rate, and stability. This backdrop underscores the need for innovative approaches like carrier pre-intercalation to elevate the electrochemical performance of electrode […]

Waymo Robotaxis Are Giving 100,000 Rides a Week. It’ll Soon Be More.
September 5, 2024 by Jason Dorrier
After years of overly aggressive forecasts about self-driving cars, here’s a statistic that snuck up on us: People are now hailing 100,000 automated rides a week—a number that’s double the 50,000 weekly rides provided a few months ago. These rides are courtesy of Waymo, the self-driving car project incubated by Google and spun out as […]
Robots Are Coming to the Kitchen—What That Could Mean for Society and Culture
September 3, 2024 by Patrick Lin
Automating food is unlike automating anything else. Food is fundamental to life—nourishing body and soul—so how it’s accessed, prepared, and consumed can change societies fundamentally. Automated kitchens aren’t sci-fi visions from The Jetsons or Star Trek. The technology is real and global. Right now, robots are used to flip burgers, fry chicken, create pizzas, make […]
Icon’s Enormous 3D Printer Extrudes a New 100-Home Neighborhood
August 11, 2024 by Jason Dorrier
In November 2022, Icon and Lennar started 3D printing homes for a new neighborhood in Texas. Now, according to a report by Reuters, the 100-home project is nearly complete. While foundations, roofing, and finishes were built and installed traditionally, the walls of each house were constructed by Icon’s Vulcan 3D printer. Vulcan uses a long, […]
A Massively Strong Beetle Just Inspired a Lightweight Flying Robot
August 1, 2024 by Shelly Fan
One of the largest and strongest beetles in the world hardly seems the best inspiration for a delicate flying microbot. But using slow-motion cameras to capture the critters in flight, an international team designed a flying micromachine that can similarly expand and retract its wings. The robot—resembling a rocket before takeoff and a flying insect […]
This AI-Powered Exoskeleton Could Speed Adoption by the Masses
June 14, 2024 by Edd Gent
Exoskeletons could help disabled people move freely again and one day boost the power and stamina of workers doing manual labor. A new AI-powered approach to building these devices could help expand their use. While the term exoskeleton might evoke images from sci-fi movies of people ensconced in massive robotic bodies, the real-world version tends […]
