Working as a wind turbine technician is not for the faint of heart. It requires climbing almost 300 feet above the ground, strapped to the roof of a wind turbine’s generator with a single safety harness. These technicians play a crucial role in maintaining the giant turbines that produce electricity to power millions of homes
Even after two days, airlines such as Delta Air Lines are still grappling with the aftermath of a faulty software update that wreaked havoc on their operations globally. The repercussions of this technological malfunction have been severe, with a total of 1,461 cancellations reported within, into, or out of the U.S. on Sunday, as per
The quarterly results of Big Tech giants are imminent, offering a glimpse into the bankability of artificial intelligence and the sustainability of major investments in this technology. Analysts are optimistic about the growth and earnings that AI revolution is causing, with double-digit growth projections for heavyweights like Microsoft and Google. However, latecomer Apple is only
Optical spectrometers have long been hailed for their ability to analyze light and measure its properties across various segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, traditional spectrometer designs have been characterized by their bulkiness and high cost, making them less accessible outside of specialized facilities. As a result, there has been a growing demand for more
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been rapidly advancing in recent years, bringing with it the ability for industries to automate processes and enhance operational efficiency. In a recent feature article published in the AIChE Journal, the focus is on the challenges and benefits of incorporating Intelligence Augmentation (IA) in process safety systems. The article features contributions
Today, computer systems across Australia and around the world experienced a major outage after an update was pushed out by global security software provider CrowdStrike. The software failure affected the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, which is commonly installed on desktop computers and notebooks by businesses and organizations for security monitoring.

The textile industry is notorious for being one of the major contributors to environmental pollution, generating a staggering 92 million tons of textile waste annually on a global scale. However, a groundbreaking invention by Abigail Clarke-Sather, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, and her team is set to revolutionize the way textiles
Solar cells face a significant challenge when individual cells within a module are shaded, leading to reverse bias conditions. This situation can result in increased temperature and potential damage to the cells, making them unstable and decreasing their overall performance over time. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have recently presented a
Robots have long been seen as the future of automation, with the potential to take over mundane tasks from humans and improve efficiency in various industries. One key method of teaching robots how to perform everyday tasks is through imitation learning. This involves providing detailed human demonstrations to show specific movements that robots can replicate.
