December 11, 2016
Dartmouth had one of our computers, and they programmed it to develop the computer language BASIC. It allowed people to use the system to solve problems and handle data coming in out of the computer. Steve Wozniak may have used one such remote terminal to write software for Macs.

3D printing has quickly evolved from a cool way to make plastic gizmos to an increasingly mainstream method of printing machine parts from the toughest metals. In fact, you can already hitch a ride on a next-generation Airbus passenger jet that uses engines with 3D-printed fuel nozzles inside. Since last September, 3D-printed technology has helped run a large power plant near the capital of Germany, Berlin.

Grease monkeys have been tinkering with Ford Mustangs — the most iconic of the classic American muscle cars — ever since the first one rolled out in 1964. But a car enthusiast in Germany has taken tinkering to the next level. Hanns Proenen, the chief information security officer for GE in Europe, has hacked his Mustang using Predix, GE’s cloud-based platform for the Industrial Internet.

August 04, 2015
The large German port of Kiel sits at the end of a deep Baltic fjord that cuts into the flat coastal landscape like a bad case of chapped lips. The fjord has long protected the area’s sea merchants, the German Navy’s Baltic Fleet, and helped make the city the sailing capital of the world during the annual Kiel Week.

Das Hybrid-Kraftwerk: Power Plant Mixing Gas, Solar, Batteries and Software Could Chart the Future of Renewable Power

May 13, 2015
From Japan’s offshore solar plants to a tidal lagoon in Wales, countries around the world have found clever ways to tap renewable power. But nowhere is the need for ingenuity more in demand than in Germany, which aims to produce 80 percent of electricity from renewables by 2050, up from 30 percent now.

Power to the People! It’s Boom Time for Distributed Power

December 26, 2014
A whisky distillery in Scotland uses mash residue to power its factory and produce steam for distilling while a brewery in Germany uses its own waste water to generate the electricity, steam and hot water needed to make its products. Elsewhere, tree bark, sewage sludge and even rubbish from landfill are all turning into one thing: power.
 

More and more companies are using waste products for power generation, thanks to the growth of distributed power.

October 28, 2014
Every day, somewhere in the world, up to 100 megawatts of new solar power goes online. The global capacity to transform sunrays into clean, carbon-free electricity topped 150 gigawatts of this year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), with the U.S. accounting for about a tenth of that.
