Eric Wilson, a principal investigator of the team that created the End-Use Load Profiles, reviews building data in NREL’s Visualization Lab. Credit: Dennis Schroeder, NREL Buildings are responsible for 40% of total energy use in the United States, including 75% of all electricity use and 35% of the nation’s carbon emissions. Although today’s decarbonization efforts often focus on renewable electricity or electric vehicles, decarbonizing the building stock is also essential.

Many years ago, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 gained notoriety when its batteries caught fire in a series of incidents. There’s been a steady stream of similar, though isolated, incidents ever since. However, despite the high-profile coverage of batteries gone wrong, the vast majority of Li-ion batteries are safe.The chemical reaction that occurs inside a lithium-ion cell is complex, but as in any battery, there’s a negative and a positive electrode. In lithium batteries, the negative is a lithium-carbon compound, and the positive is cobalt oxide (though many battery makers are moving away from cobalt). These two compounds cause a…
It’s always good to see companies delivering updates and new features to devices long after they’ve launched. And Roland’s TR-8S and TR-6S were already pretty capable to begin with. But with the latest firmware updates they’re picking up two huge new additions, including one that that I’m personally quite excited about.TR-8S 3.0 and TR-6S 2.0 add an ACB model of the CR-78 CompuRhythm and a chromatic TR-808 mode for building basslines. The ability to play an 808 kick chromatically greatly expands the flexibility of the two drum machines. While you could tune drum hits and samples on the to create…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain After an onslaught of about 150 lightning strikes hit one of California’s most drought-stricken regions last month, sparking more than two dozen fires, the flames spread quickly across the rugged wilderness of the state’s northwest corner. Over the ensuing days, the fires, growing dangerously close to rural communities and a major thoroughfare, also threatened a piece of crucial infrastructure: the only transmission lines that provide power to Del Norte County’s 27,000 residents. On Aug. 18, three days after the fires erupted, Pacific Power warned its customers about possible electricity disruptions as the Smith River Complex wildfires…

In context: Cell-site simulators (CSS), sometimes called stingrays or IMSI catchers, are tools law enforcement and governments employ for various warranted tasks, including tracking phone locations, intercepting communications, espionage, and installing malware. Unfortunately, criminals can also use cell-site simulators. Using a CSS involves creating a fake 2G cell tower and tricking the target phone into connecting. Every big carrier in the U.S. except T-Mobile has disabled their 2G and 3G networks, though T-Mobile plans to do so in April 2024. However, all cellular devices can connect to 2G and 3G towers because many countries still have active 2G networks. Some…
