Generating Power on Earth From the Coldness of Deep Space

Cars That Think

But about a decade ago, our research group at Stanford designed a material that’s remarkably efficient at sending heat out to that reservoir of cold while preventing heating from both the sun and the environment. With the ambient environment as a hot reservoir, we can use the coldness from deep space to create the cold reservoir.

Why We Built a Neuromorphic Robot to Play Foosball

Cars That Think

Robots need to operate in a real world full of noise, irregularities, and evolving environments. The rigid rules and constrained environment of Go will never provide such challenges. This approach drastically reduces the amount of data these cameras generate, which means less data to store, to transmit, and to process.
