The Future of AI and Robotics Is Being Led by Amazon’s Next-Gen Warehouses

Cars That Think

The cutting edge of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) doesnt occur just at NASA, or one of the top university labs, but instead is increasingly being developed in the warehouses of the e-commerce company Amazon. Amazon, at the forefront of this revolution, is leveraging robotics and AI to shape the warehouses of the future.

Airbus is Working on a Superconducting Electric Aircraft

Cars That Think

For this plane, the company is targeting a 20-to-30 percent reduction in fuel consumption, according to Bruno Fichefeux, head of future programmes at Airbus. Were absolutely convinced that this is an energy for the future for aviation, but theres just more work to be done. We continue to believe in hydrogen , he declared.

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

The PPPL team invented this nuclear-fusion reactor, completed last year, using mainly off-the-shelf components. Jayme Thornton PPPL researchers say their simpler machine demonstrates a way to build stellarators far more cheaply and quickly, allowing researchers to easily test new concepts for future fusion power plants.

Superconducting Motor Could Propel Electric Aircraft

Cars That Think

One is the availability, at relatively moderate cost, of copper-oxide-based superconducting tape, which is being produced by a few companies for startups working on tokamak fusion reactors. HTS [high temperature superconductors] are having a moment, because the costs are coming down rapidly, driven by all the work on fusion,” Haran says. “A

Four Ways Engineers Are Trying to Break Physics

Cars That Think

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), arguably the largest experiment ever engineered, is needed to probe the universes smallest constituents. The Standard Model is beautiful, says Victoria Martin, an experimental physicist at the University of Edinburgh. Because its so precise, all the little niggles stand out.

PPPL researchers find way to build high-temperature superconducting magnets for fusion devices

Green Car Congress

Such powerful magnets would more easily fit within the tight space inside spherical tokamaks, which are shaped more like a cored apple than the doughnut-like shape of conventional tokamaks, and are being explored as a possible design for future fusion power plants. Collage by Kiran Sudarsanan).
