Producing green hydrogen reliably and cheaply is a massive engineering challenge. A new modular, containerized system aims to solve it by integrating everything from electrolyzers to AI monitoring in a single, scalable package. The goal is to make on-site, industrial-grade hydrogen a practical reali
A new extraction method using microwaves and chemicals could pull rare earth elements from coal tailings three times more efficiently. This could tap into a massive, untapped domestic source for these critical materials. The big question is whether the complex process can be scaled affordably.
Elon Musk is reportedly planning to merge SpaceX with his AI startup xAI ahead of a potential IPO this year. The wildest part? The plan involves launching AI data centers into Earth’s orbit to save on power and cooling. It’s a massively expensive gamble that analysts are already questioning.
A phrase from science journalist Alex Steffen, featured on NPR’s *This American Life*, perfectly describes the professional vertigo of the AI era. It’s a feeling of being “unprepared for what has already happened,” and it’s hitting accomplished experts everywhere.
The AI investment bubble is showing serious cracks. Microsoft’s market value cratered by over $440 billion after revealing its huge spending and deep financial entanglement with OpenAI, sparking a broader tech selloff.
A personal journey from using Windows 10 and Microsoft Word in 2021 to running Fedora and open-source apps today. The shift in trust came less from open-source changing and more from frustration with the direction of closed-source software, including forced AI features and operating system drama.
According to Fortune, the SEC is threatening to roll back Regulation S-K and blocking shareholder resolutions. This strips investors of their fundamental rights to information and oversight. The result is a market built on opacity, not transparency.
The tech boom in Seattle is turning to gloom with a new wave of major layoffs. Amazon is cutting another 16,000 corporate roles, while Meta and Expedia slash hundreds more. Local leaders call it the scariest economic time since 2009.
The energy industry’s push into remote areas is fueling a new space race for connectivity. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are providing the high-bandwidth, low-latency links needed for modern operations, moving data from offshore platforms to boardrooms in near real-time.
Apple is set to report fiscal first-quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday. Wall Street expects strong iPhone 17 holiday sales but is worried about rising memory costs and the path to AI monetization.
