At this week’s Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles, GE Chairman and CEO Larry Culp said there was “no one technology that will carry the day” when it comes to the energy transition. Instead, he said, the world needs to deploy a variety of approaches to address what he called the “trilemma” — reliability, affordability, and sustainability. “In many respects, we need just about everything that we can muster, both in terms of what we have today and what we’ll have as a result of innovation going forward,” he said.
Workers at GE Aviation’s Lafayette, Indiana, jet engine-manufacturing plant were facing a problem. They had to hand-start 48 nuts in a tedious process that forced technicians to use repetitive wrist and hand movements.
An atmosphere composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide. Clouds made of sulfuric acid. Daytime highs reaching 880 degrees. Let’s face it, a trip to Venus isn’t for the faint of heart. And yet the second planet from the sun has suddenly become the object of renewed interest, with two NASA missions announced this summer and a third by the European Space Agency.

Then the movement halts suddenly, as if the AV has paused for thought. Hidden in the foliage is an impassable obstacle: a fallen oak tree. After a couple of minutes of recalibration, the AV skirts the massive trunk and pushes on.
Lima puluh tahun sejak Hari Bumi yang pertama, dunia sudah membuat banyak kemajuan dalam memahami bahaya perubahan iklim dan menemukan solusi yang dibutuhkan. Namun, kita masih belum selesai. Pergantian ke mobil listrik saja akan memaksa kita untuk memikirkan kembali cara produksi mobil listrik, serta cara mendistribusikannya.
Gardu Induk tegangan tinggi merupakan instalasi yang ada di mana-mana untuk menaikkan atau menurunkan tegangan. Dari gardu induk, listrik dialirkan sampai ke tempat yang jauh, yakni ke rumah-rumah dan perusahaan-perusahaan.
See-through, noise-canceling panels, a high-resolution microscope built from Lego blocks and smartphone parts, and a way for hydrogen to help decarbonize the steel industry. This week’s coolest things are pushing the everyday boundaries.
A new vision for night vision, graphene sensors that can detect the COVID-causing virus, and a “metabolic warhead” aimed at bacteria and cancer. This week’s coolest things prove that big things can come in tiny packages.
Fighting more viruses with advanced mRNA vaccines, a drug against aging, and a new way to generate electricity from ground-up carbon nanotubes. This week’s coolest things are ready to handle what comes next.
