Northrop Grumman’s Manta Ray Submersible Drone Spotted in Google Satellite Image
June 24th, 2024It’s fascinating how the autonomous death robots can harvest energy from the environment, giving them “near unlimited” range. They can also “hibernate” on the seafloor: In order to achieve this, Northrop’s demonstration vehicle features “energy-saving technologies,” the exact nature of which remain murky, allowing it to anchor on the seafloor and hibernate in a low-power […]
Microsoft Wants Fusion Energy for AI
June 21st, 2024Via: Washington Post: Microsoft is betting on an effort to generate power from atomic fusion — the collision of atoms that powers the sun — a breakthrough that has eluded scientists for the past century. Physicists predict it will elude Microsoft, too. The tech giant and its partners say they expect to harness fusion by […]
