Eastern Pacific Shipping, OCI & MAN partner to develop methanol & ammonia as marine fuels; retrofits and newbuilds

Green Car Congress

This means we have a responsibility to implement emission-lowering solutions available today while simultaneously developing solutions for tomorrow. In the meantime, developing ammonia-fueled conversion and newbuilding projects will help develop more mature zero-carbon solutions in the longer-term.

Understanding the Coronavirus Is Like Reading a Sentence

Cars That Think

My lab's recent advances in RNA folding build directly on a natural-language processing technique I pioneered called incremental parsing. Humans use incremental parsing constantly: As you're reading this sentence, you're building its meaning in your mind without waiting until you reach the period.
