Here is a weekly snapshot of the recent technology, e-waste, and IoT news that HOBI’s blog reported on during the week 4/16-4/20. Processors Give Tips on How to Control Lithium-Ion Battery ‘Thermal Events’ In a recent webinar hosted by the U.S., EPA, e-scrap facility operators joined representatives from industry groups and a regulatory agency to…
It is clearly evident that the use of wind and solar energy to generate power is spreading quickly, but certain aspects of the technology lag behind other components. One of the biggest challenges for scientists developing clean energy is the storage capacity for industrial-size batteries. Now, it seems that MIT researchers may have finally cracked…
MIT researchers have developed a chip designed to speed up the hard work of running neural networks, while also reducing the power consumed to run the neural network by nearly 95 percent. The basic concept involves simplifying the chip design so that shuttling of data between different processors on the same chip is taken out…
