In this article, co-authors Vicente Cruz Mínguez, Head of Data and Advanced Analytics at Cepsa Química, and Marcos Fernández Díaz, Senior Data Scientist at Keepler, discuss the implementation of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a transformative force in business industries. They key focus is on the how it impacts the energy sector, specifically, Cepsa Química…
OpenAI, a prominent AI research lab, is at risk of a $5 billion deficit by the end of 2024 according to a report by The Information. Despite an income of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion annually, the company has reportedly expended approximately $7 billion on developing AI models and $1.5 billion on staff costs. The…
MIT engineers have identified new materials that could be more efficient conductors of protons – the nucleus of a hydrogen atom – which could pave the way for a number of climate-protecting technologies. Today's proton-conducting materials require very high temperatures, but lower-temperature alternatives could boost new technologies such as fuel cells that produce clean electricity…
An international team of researchers, including members from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), has developed a machine learning-based approach to predict the thermal properties of materials. This understanding could help improve energy efficiency in power generation systems and microelectronics.
The research focuses on phonons - subatomic particles that carry heat. Properties of these particles affect…
Hydrogen, one of the most abundant elements in the Universe, mainly exists alongside other elements. However, the discovery of naturally occurring underground pockets of pure hydrogen is increasingly attracting attention as an unlimited source of carbon-free energy. In fact, the US Department of Energy recently awarded $20 million in research grants to 18 teams to…
The MIT Energy and Climate Hack is an annual event that calls together students around the globe to come up with innovative solutions to the huge environmental challenges of our time. This year's hackathon took place between the 10th and 12th of November, and it was conducted both virtually and in-person at MIT's campus. The…
The Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has received a grant of $1,365,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The funding supports LIDS's role in the "Forming the Smart Grid Deployment Consortium (SGDC) and Expanding the HILLTOP+ Platform" project. Made available through ARC's Appalachian Regional Initiative for Stronger…
