#Mexico built its very own #EV, and it only costs $8,500. But will it take off? Read about it in my story for @IEEESpectrum #ElectricVehicles spectrum.ieee.org/mexico-oli…
Batteries are retired from #ElectricVehicles when they've lost 20-30% of their #energystorage capacity. But that means 70-80% is still there. Put hundreds of these #batteries together and it's enough for grid-scale storage. @B2U_Storage @RedwoodMat spectrum.ieee.org/second-lif…
#ArtificialIntelligence isn't an arms race if each side has different goals and priorities. Read more in @IEEESpectrum #ai #Tech #Future spectrum.ieee.org/us-china-a…
#Geothermal is no longer just a commercial #energy source requiring wells thousands of feet deep. It's increasingly being used to heat and cool buildings—even in the middle of #newyorkcity. scientificamerican.com/artic… #climate #renewableenergy #Tech
As #electricity demand booms, backlogs on interconnection queues, gas turbines, and transformers mean adding supply will take years. Virtual power plants can help bridge the gap by aggregating small distributed energy resources. spectrum.ieee.org/virtual-po… #Energy #EnergyStorage
Sound waves can extinguish small fires by pushing oxygen molecules away from fuel. This fascinating technology is being used to protect homes in high-risk #wildfire areas. My new @sciam article has the details. scientificamerican.com/artic… #sciencenews
Demand for #CriticalMinerals is higher than ever, but they're only getting harder to source. My latest for @sciam explores how biomining could help reshape their #SupplyChain, reduce waste, and ease geopolitical bottlenecks. scientificamerican.com/artic…
Lithium-ion batteries will only get us so far. This CO2 battery is an innovative solution for long-duration energy storage. #RenewableEnergy #batteries #LDES

Purifying water 500 meters undersea can save a lot of energy, but will the technology scale to a level where it makes a real difference? My latest for @sciam digs in to deep sea desalination. #climatetech #Innovation #water scientificamerican.com/artic…
If you're a frequent user of #ChatGPT, it might be influencing the way you talk. I spoke with a research team in Berlin to get details of this fascinating study. #AI #LLMs @ChatGPTapp @sciam @hiromu1996 scientificamerican.com/artic…
Fervo Energy will help take geothermal's share of U.S. electricity generation from 0.4% up to 10% or more, and they just landed another $200 million. @fervoenergy #RenewableEnergy singularityhub.com/2025/06/1…
More people are turning to #AI for emotional support, and some say it meets their needs better than their human friends. But a study from #OpenAI and #MITMediaLab urges caution with this use of the technology. ai-frontiers.org/articles/ai…
We may soon be delegating most of our work to AI agents. Would this create unprecedented productivity, or bury us in decision fatigue and digital chaos?
I spoke with top researchers to explore the possibilities. #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork

The market’s knee-jerk response to DeepSeek was more reactionary than an accurate indicator of how R1 will impact energy demand. singularityhub.com/2025/02/1…
Medog Hydropower Station will have an estimated annual generation capacity triple that of the world’s largest existing dam. singularityhub.com/2025/01/1…
The world's first 3D printed hotel is going up in west Texas. singularityhub.com/2024/10/1…
