Generally speaking, we like our computing devices to remain on and active the whole time we’re using them. But there are situations, such as off-grid devices that run on small solar cells, where ...

On the Monday, March 23, 2026, episode of The Excerpt podcast: Aging infrastructure, rising demand and extreme weather are testing the U.S. power grid in new ways. How can we ensure its reliability?

Real-time robotic systems require advanced perception and action capability. However, the main bottleneck in current autonomous systems is the trade-off between computational capability, energy ...

Early last year, a cluster of data centers in Virginia suddenly dropped off the power grid, threatening the stability of the already vulnerable system. The roughly 40 data centers, which had been ...

Abstract: High-definition (HD) maps are essential for autonomous vehicles. A promising approach to automated generation of HD maps is occupancy grid mapping using vehicle-borne light detection and ...

The GW Ranch project approved on 8,000 windswept acres of West Texas will look like many of the other data centers that have sprung up across the country to support Silicon Valley’s ambitions for ...

Could they make a come-back? Rural people and immigrants relied on them when they sought jobs in rapidly urbanizing cities and affordable housing was scarce. Cities zoned them largely out of existence ...

Massachusetts is making a big push for batteries — not the kind you put in a flashlight, but powerful, tractor trailer-sized batteries that store energy for the electric grid. State officials say more ...

This Python project demonstrates Occupancy Grid Mapping in robotics and autonomous navigation using real-world data from the Orebro dataset. It processes odometry and laser sensor readings to create ...

Peak Energy just switched on a 3.5 MWh sodium-ion battery, the largest sodium-ion energy storage project developed in the US. The system is the first of its kind at grid scale, and may eventually be a ...

The facts uncovered in fraud investigations are often shocking, revealing stories of both tragedy and comedy. And those stories inform how we help our clients to navigate the landscape of risk, ...
