The Tiny Star Explosions Powering Moore’s Law

Cars That Think

Lithography technology, and potentially the nearly trillion-dollar electronics industry, would stagnate unless we could create a powerful source of shorter-wavelength, EUV light. The task of achieving such a huge power increase was so daunting that I debated with my family about the wisdom of starting a career in EUV lithography.

Can a New Power Link Boost the EU’s Energy Independence?

Cars That Think

The Black Sea is almost 1,200 kilometers long, and the proposed undersea power cable would need to run the length of it, making it the longest and deepest in the world. Floating mines used in the ongoing Ukraine war already pose a risk to ships in those waters. The plants solar panels run in long rows over the gently sloped terrain.

Revealed: General Motors battery guru explains why lithium – not hydrogen – is central to our EV future

EV Central

That’s because – as Oury is at pains to point out – the lithium that currently powers electric vehicles, and other batteries, is almost as abundant as hydrogen anyway. GM’s top EV battery guru, Andy Oury, believes we could switch to a hydrogen-based economy in the future, if we could build enough renewable energy to run it.

Put an Old-School BBS on Meshtastic Radio

Cars That Think

TC2-BBS doesnt require a lot of computing power because the low-bandwidth limits of LoRa mean its never handling much data at any given time. All of this means the BBS code is very portable and you can run it on something as low-powered as a Raspberry Pi Zero.
