Early Detection Makes Batteries Safer - TU Darmstadt And MIT Develop Methods For Monitoring With Machine Learning
30 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"Institute of Automation Technology and Mechatronics at TU Darmstadt...and...MIT, developed a method that combines physical methods with machine learning. Using recursive Gaussian processes, they can detect time-dependent and operational changes in battery cells..."...the scientists were able to use a unique dataset: a research partner anonymously provided data from 28 battery systems that had been returned to the manufacturer due to problems..."
China's EV Boom Threatens to Push Gasoline Demand Off a Cliff
29 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"...according to official statistics, China's sales of electric vehicles and hybrids have in fact reached a tipping point. They've accounted for more than half of retail passenger vehicle sales in the four months from July...The more rapid-than-expected uptake of EVs has shifted views among oil forecasters...CITIC Futures Co. sees Chinese gasoline consumption dropping by 4% to 5% a year through 2030."Self-Driving Cars Found Safer Than Human-Driven Except For 3 Specific Areas
29 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"...'autopilot' vehicles are very much a focus of future transportation...seemed like a distant reality over a decade ago, they are very much viable in the modern world - and surprisingly safe too."...accident data collected in California between 2016 and 2022...accident data collected in California between 2016 and 2022...Three key areas where humans did it better though were situations at dawn, at dusk, and involving corners."
Largest All-Electric Aircraft In History Will Take Off In 2025
29 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"The ES-30 commercial aircraft is designed to take off from runways as short as 1,100 m (3,609 ft), thanks to its high-torque electric motors and turbo propellers, and is going to feature a hybrid system to allow for a total range of nearly 250 miles"Heart isn't looking to replace major airliners. Instead, the focus is on connecting smaller 'pocket airports' with roughly 2 acres of space in underserved communities."
Biden's Climate Law Can't Die. Wall Street Loves It Too Much.
28 Nov 2024 | Synopsis
"...a group of 18 House Republicans wrote to Speaker Mike Johnson in support of the clean energy tax credits that are the cornerstone of the legislation...the IRA's tax credits a 'bottomless mimosa bar' for the financial market, and bankers are swanning up to get smashed on unlimited tax incentives for clean energy investment...The tax credit transfer market has grown to $20 billion to 25 billion in a mere 20 months."

The EV Pivot That Wasn't: Why Honda's "Setback" Isn't a Meltdown
14 May 2026 | 
Honda's slower EV rollout is being framed as a costly setback, but the capital it has invested in EV R&D is far from lost. Battery management, thermal systems, software, and platform work are already feeding into hybrids and future EVs. Automakers routinely invest years before seeing payback, amortizing technology across multiple models and cycles. The headlines see retreat; inside Honda, it is pacing, not surrender.
The Climate Is Running Hot - So Why Are Scientists Saying 'Don't Worry… Yet'
14 May 2026 | 
El Nino is clearly fading, based on direct ocean measurements from agencies like NOAA and the WMO, so its specific weather impacts are easing. But global temperatures remain extremely high because of long-term warming and record ocean heat. The real story is not El Nino itself, but a new climate baseline that can produce extreme events even without it, making the background trend more worrying than the fading pulse.
Living Safely With Lithium Batteries in a World That Runs on Them
14 May 2026 | 
Lithium batteries power modern life, but failures usually stem from damage, overheating, or poor chargers. E-bikes with aftermarket packs pose the highest risk, while EVs and home batteries remain highly engineered and statistically safer than petrol systems. With careful charging, proper storage, and choosing reputable brands, consumers can enjoy battery tech while keeping fire risk extremely low.
Debunking the "End of Climate Change" Narrative
11 May 2026 | 
A recent Fox News opinion piece claims the New York Times has announced the "end of the climate change hoax." However, a closer look reveals this is a misinterpretation of political strategy. While Democratic messaging may shift ahead of the 2026 midterms, the scientific reality and industrial momentum toward electrification remain unchanged. This debunking explores the gap between campaign rhetoric and global climate data.
The Ocean Is Listening
11 May 2026 | 
A decade of research shows offshore wind farms reshape marine ecosystems in surprising ways. Turbines create artificial reefs that attract fish and seals, yet their persistent low-frequency noise raises unresolved concerns for whales, porpoises, and other species. As turbine sizes grow, underwater noise scales sharply, outpacing regulation and leaving key ecological questions unanswered.
