Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
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.

New high-power transmission lines have to run a regulatory gauntlet to get approved. One of the biggest barriers, however, isn’t about whether the line can be built but who will pay for it. That has turned out to be a much knottier problem than you might think. A decision by the D.C. Circuit on Friday, however, has given the go-ahead for a rough-and-ready solution that’s far from precise but eminently reasonable.

When the IPCC released its latest climate science report a few weeks ago, many commentators observed that the report should heighten our sense of urgency about climate action. Most of that discussion was at a very general level. It’s worth taking a closer look at some key findings and their policy implications. Here, I want to focus on several key points in the report.

Researchers in Australia have created the largest time crystal to date, using 57 qubits on an openly accessible IBM quantum computer to construct an exotic phase of matter with properties that repeat over time, rather than in space. The result emphasizes the utility of quantum computers for simulating complex quantum systems and marks an important step towards creating even larger systems of time crystals.

The human brain is remarkably good at storing and processing information. While our knowledge of how the brain works is by no means complete, scientists and engineers are developing computing technologies that mimic how neurons operate in the brain. This is not just about building faster computers; the brain is also very energy efficient and early indications are that neuromorphic systems could deliver improved energy efficiency.
