A Tiny Adjustment in a Lab Changed What AI Hardware Might Cost to Run
Three years of failed experiments. Then, in late November, the results changed. Babak Bakhit, a researcher at the University of Cambridge's Department…

After the Crisis: Why Europe's Energy Problem Isn't Over
Europe didn’t discover its energy vulnerability in 2022. It had been warned for years. What changed was that the warning arrived in the form of a bill…
Rethinking Intelligence: A Conversation with Holger Thorsten Schubart
On AI, Intent Disambiguation, and Why the Most Important Step in Understanding New Technology Is Often the One Nobody Takes.
Physics Has Always Known the Universe Never Stops. Energy Science Forgot to Listen.
The universe has never been in equilibrium. Most of our energy infrastructure behaves as if it has. That mismatch is not a coincidence.
"Climate Change Cartographies"
Yale Environmental Humanities was launched in 2018 as a platform to highlight and support the emerging interdisciplinary conversation…
Cosmic Neutrinos: A Novel Universe Map
The neutrinos are important for studying fundamental physics since physicists now know the origin of at least some of these high-energy particles.
Somewhere, Every Morning, Something New Needs Power
Somewhere, every morning, something that did not exist last year is switched on for the first time. Not metaphorically. Literally.

Racing the Clock on Quantum: Germany Bets on a Technology That Could Rewrite Computing
The computers that run the modern world are, in a fundamental sense, hitting a wall. Classical processors have grown faster and smaller for decades…
When the Software Learns to Run the Factory
The industrial world has a legacy problem. Factories and energy plants across the globe still depend on hardware-locked control systems built for a previous…
The Waterlogged Problem at the Heart of Clean Hydrogen Power
For all the promise hydrogen fuel cells have carried for decades, a remarkably mundane obstacle has kept them from fulfilling it.
Inside the Material That Turns Cosmic Particles into Electrical Current
Before any generator hums, before any turbine turns, there is a material. Thin enough to be invisible to the naked eye. Quiet enough to mistake for inert.
The KATRIN Experiment and Neutrinos: A Groundbreaking Path to Understanding Dark Matter
At the KATRIN experiment, researchers are studying the mass of elementary particles that interact with matter only extremely rarely: neutrinos.
