⚡️ Energy
Energy production and consumption is becoming cleaner, cheaper and decentralized. With connected devices you as a consumer can take control of your energy consumption. Here you will also find content about batteries, smart grids, nuclear and other innovation in the energy field.
🧠 Deepmind has trained an AI to control fusion
An AI has learned to adjust the plasma magnets in a fusion reactor. The AI was also able to shape the plasma, which increases both safety and efficiency.
🥇 Fusion reactor breaks new record
An experimental reactor has generated twice as much energy as the previous record for fusion reactors.
👊 "We want to build the world's largest digital mine"
A large industry for recycling electric vehicle batteries is emerging. William Bergh, has founded Cling Systems, which matches sellers of recycled batteries with buyers. He tells Warp about his entrepreneurial journey and shares three business ideas that are waiting to be realized - maybe by you?
💧Ban on "zero tapping" makes hydropower more sustainable
Simple measures that only marginally affect power production make hydropower plants even more environmentally friendly.
🔋 Biodegradable batteries solves e-waste
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have come up with a partial solution to the toxic e-waste of batteries - a biodegradable one that can be buried in soil.
🪁 Kitepower – the future of green energy?
An international team is currently working on a start-up called Airborne Wind Energy, which develops cost-effective and innovative alternatives to wind turbines. According to the start-up, their patented technology is a game changer in the wind energy sector.
🐝 Solar parks could be used to boost pollinator numbers
A new study shows that if solar parks are managed properly, they can help provide habitats for wildlife and bumblebees to flourish.
☀ Sharper simulations mean more efficient solar panels
New software means that researchers need to spend less time doing simulations, resulting in more efficient solar panels.
🔋 "Sea battery" provides energy even when it is not windy
A battery, which is actually a small hydropower plant, can store large amounts of energy from offshore wind turbines.
