Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. I was going to write this story last night. I put the title in there, but it was very late and there was a high chance I’d fall asleep in the middle of writing it, so I pushed it off. The top story on Google News today is US Vice President JD Vance saying the US and Iran are very close to a nuclear deal, which would end the war between the two countries. Whether this is true or just another attempt at spinning the story and trying to manifest…

A few days ago I introduced SwiftBash — a sandboxed bash interpreter written in pure Swift. At the end of the four-green-checkmarks post I promised the next instalment would be about something else: SwiftScript, the same idea but for Swift itself. It’s exactly that. Real Swift syntax, walked by a tree-walking interpreter, no LLVM, no codegen, no Process/fork/exec — meant for the places where Swift as a compiled binary isn’t an option. After this success with an AST for bash, I figured, let’s up the game and try the same with Swift Syntax. My Claude Opus has proven time again…

Nowadays, efficient procurement processes have become a crucial factor for companies striving to stay competitive within their domain. As technology advances, e-procurement solutions have become powerful tools that improve purchasing, promote supplier collaboration, and boost cost savings. However, not all e-procurement platforms are designed equal. Therefore, selecting the right one can greatly impact your company’s success. In this article, we will cover everything about e-procurement systems and have a look at the key features that businesses should pay attention to when considering e-procurement solutions. What Is E-procurement Software? E-procurement software is a digital system created to automate and improve the…

Dwayne McDaniel, developer advocate at GitGuardian.com, joins host Priyanka Raghavan to talk about the engineering challenges of secrets management. They explore what “secrets” really are in modern systems—far beyond passwords—including API keys, tokens, certificates, and machine identities, and how “secret sprawl” emerges across the SDLC. Drawing on reports from GitGuardian and Verizon, they discuss the growing scale of secret leaks and why credential abuse and phishing remain dominant attack vectors. They examine common leak points—from code repos and logs to CI/CD pipelines, containers, and SaaS integrations—and how cloud, DevOps, and AI tooling are amplifying risks. Priyanka quizzes Dwayne about recent…

As semiconductor, sensor, and smart-factory industries face widening skills gaps, a new curriculum framework shows how AI, nanotechnology, shared laboratories, and stackable credentials could train the next generation of manufacturing talent. Article: Advancing U.S. Manufacturing Competitiveness Through AI and Nanotechnology: A Strategic Curriculum Framework for Workforce Development. Image Credit: asharkyu / Shutterstock The modern manufacturing sector is transforming through the convergence of nanoscale engineering and artificial intelligence (AI). A recent framework article published in The Educational Review, USA, proposed a multi-layered educational framework to address workforce shortages in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced sensor technologies. This architecture integrates nanotechnology, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS),…

Although there are plenty of factors to bear in mind when upgrading to a new phone, such as the battery life, the software experience and also the display – in 2026, few things drive quite as much discussion as smartphone cameras. From high-end 1-inch sensors to AI-infused filters, smartphone photography has never felt more exciting, and thanks to the hard work of our tech experts, we know which camera phones are best to buy. Nowadays, you have to really go out of your way to find a phone that doesn’t take a good picture with its main sensor during the…

I have been an application-specific IC (ASIC) designer for almost three decades. Over that time, I’ve moved through the full academic trajectory, from graduate student to full professor; later, I transitioned to industry after an unsuccessful stint at entrepreneurship. When I made the switch to the private sector in 2019, I began focusing on a critically important aspect of the electronic industry: silicon intellectual property. As much as 80 percent of the physical area in today’s most advanced chips is occupied by blocks that aren’t made for specific products or even designed by the consumer-facing companies that built them. Instead,…

This is the seventh article in a series on agentic engineering and AI-driven development. Read part one here, part two here, part three here, part four here, part five here, and part six here.This is the latest article in my Radar series on AI-driven development and agentic engineering, and I have to admit that this one took a bit of a turn I wasn’t expecting.In my last article I talked about context and context management and I promised to give you some real practical tips for using it. It was originally meant to be about specific, practical context management techniques that were really helpful to me…

When engineering teams at Slack, Reddit, Canva, Airbnb, Shopify, and Uber need to ship code with confidence, they rely on Buildkite. As a CI/CD platform, Buildkite orchestrates complex build, test, and deployment pipelines for some of the most demanding engineering organizations in the world. It handles everything from routine code commits to artificial intelligence (AI) model-training workloads, processing over 50 billion requests per month. At the heart of Buildkite’s test orchestration portfolio is Test Engine, a specialized analytics product designed to help engineering teams understand and optimize their test suites at scale. Test Engine aggregates results across thousands of builds,…
