How do supermassive black holes grow? AI finds 7 spacetime-warping ‘quasars’ that could help solve the mystery

This artist’s concept depicts the brilliant light of two quasars residing in the cores of two galaxies that are in the chaotic process of merging. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, and J. Olmsted (STScI)) Some of the brightest objects in the universe may also hold the key to understanding how galaxies evolve — especially when gravityContinue Reading

ul-releases-an-important-new-v2g-standard

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is gradually making the transition from pilots to commercial applications. At the moment, a few automakers, including GM, Ford and Nissan, offer bidirectional charging features, but these require proprietary charging hardware, and are limited to applications such as backup power (V2H). True V2G functionality requires a utilityContinue Reading

Sponsored by Chroma. Lithium-ion batteries face increasingly severe challenges regarding safety and lifespan under high-rate charging. One of the most critical concerns is the phenomenon of lithium plating—when the charging current is too high or the temperature is too low, lithium-ions fails to intercalate effectively into the anode and insteadContinue Reading
