In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Computer simulations by astronomers in the US have presented a new clue for researchers hunting a hypothesised planet hiding in the far reaches of the solar system. The modelling suggests that searching for “Trans-Neptunian Objects”, or TNOs, in certain orbits could shed light on whether a so-called “Planet Nine” exists beyond Neptune. The possible presence of a ninth planet in our solar system was first proposed more than five years ago based on the orbital characteristics of certain objects tr
