Decommissioning old wind turbines generates thousands of tons of new waste. If we don’t create incentives and regulations that force the responsible handling of decommissioned wind turbine parts, especially blades, we will have an enormous waste problem. (Words: Norwegian University of Science and Technology). By 2040, up to 20,000 wind turbine blades could be landfilled or incinerated simply because we lack good solutions for processing them sustainably. Europe’s oldest offshore wind turbines are now being dismantled, after having delivered clean energy since the early 1990s. These turbines have converted offshore wind into clean power on land, but decommissioning the oldest…
This One Is Virtual, Not Physical. Historically, the word “diaspora” has been used in the context of the movement, migration, or scattering of people based on race, ethnicity, and religion. For whatever reason, people that had been geographically displaced. Regardless of the reason, the movement of people has not been pleasant nor without casualties, and these historical displacements have been mostly permanent. The displaced could not and did not return home. I see a new type of diaspora in progress. It is the displacement of humans in a variety of work roles by AI (artificial intelligence). The crucial question is…
The two-legged Tron 1 robot from LimX Dynamics bears a striking resemblance to the AT-ST walkers from Star Wars, but it’s not made for conquering the galaxy. Watch this: This $25,000 Robot Looks Like a Mini Star Wars AT-ST 02:11 I took the Tron 1 for a spin earlier this year at CES, but right out of the box its abilities were largely limited to preprogrammed movements and remote-control operation. Driving the robot around a Las Vegas hotel room was a lot of fun, but I didn’t scratch the surface of what the robot was capable of until now.LimX Dynamics…
Software as a service (SaaS) is one of the three primary tiers of cloud computing, together with platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). The SaaS model allows companies to redirect resources (otherwise spent on IT hardware, software, and personnel) to fulfill other business needs. In the last couple of years, the global SaaS market generates around $250 billion yearly, accounting for the number of SaaS tools and platforms used by numerous users across industries. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about SaaS application development services, from architecture and pricing to examples…
Artificial intelligence is transforming warfare faster than the legal and ethical frameworks designed to govern it. Militaries around the world are deploying AI-powered decision support systems to identify targets, assess proportionality, and direct weapons. The gap between what is technically possible and what international law can effectively regulate is widening by the day. Yuval Shany is a law professor at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a research fellow at the Oxford Ethics in AI Institute. He also served on the UN Human Rights Committee, where he first encountered the legal and ethical challenges posed by autonomous weapons systems. His research…
By David Stephen The most important objective of any publication that is dedicated to psychiatry is the question of how psychiatry conspicuously moves forward, especially in an era of burgeoning AI mental health therapists. It does not matter if the publication is mainstream or not, anti-psychiatry or not, publishes frequently or not, the justification for existence, in psychiatry, a field that stretches mental disorders and addictions, that both remain unknown and intractable, is that can there be answers that close in against the conditions? Are Psychiatric Times the past or future? There is no psychiatric publication anywhere in the world today, critical…
Pros Very good sound with surprising amount of bass for a compact Bluetooth speaker Waterproof and dust-proof rugged design with built-in handle and tie-down anchor Strong magnets allow you to stick the speaker to anything metal Good battery life (up to 25 hours) Cons No companion app No sound modes or equalizer option to tweak the sound Turtlebox made a name for itself with its self-titled ruggedized lunchbox-style Bluetooth speaker, known for playing loud and being a good option for boaters in search of a mountable “marine-grade” portable speaker. That original speaker is now in its 3rd generation.More recently, Turtlebox released…
Spring has sprung, the weather’s finally warming up, and the telecoms industry’s powerbrokers are getting hot under the collar—with deals galore taking place in April! This month’s round-up of mergers and acquisitions includes major takeovers across the globe, as well as an eye-watering satellite power-play, which is quite literally out of this world! Welcome to the M&A Monthly from TeleGeography’s GlobalComms team, where we track the deals that keep the world connected.
Psychologists have long debated whether the human mind can be explained by a single, unified theory or if different functions such as attention and memory must be studied separately. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is entering that debate, offering a new way to explore how the mind works. In July 2025, a study published in Nature introduced an AI model called “Centaur.” Built on standard large language models and refined using data from psychological experiments, Centaur was designed to simulate human cognitive behavior. It reportedly performed well across 160 tasks, including decision-making, executive control, and other mental processes. The results drew…
If there’s one thing that’s clear from every conversation I’ve had recently – whether with customers, colleagues, or industry peers – it’s this: AI ambition has never been higher. But ambition alone doesn’t equal readiness. In our recent Data Integrity & AI Forum, I had the opportunity to sit down with Rabun Jones, CIO at C Spire; Andrew Brust, CEO of Blue Badge Insights; and Dave Shuman, Chief Data Officer at Precisely. Together, we unpacked what it really means to be “AI ready” – and why so many organizations are struggling to turn that ambition into measurable results. The discussion…
