Rio Tinto has ambitious goals when it comes to sustainability. According to the company’s website, it aims to transition all its facilities and operations to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. To achieve this, the company is working with governments to scale up renewable energy resources where it works. For example, Rio Tinto invested more than $500 million to partner with the Canadian government to decarbonize an iron and titanium mine in Quebec.
Mining companies like Rio Tinto provide necessary metals and minerals for global clients. The company’s products and resources are used all over the world in items that people use in their daily lives. Unfortunately, mining with diesel fuel produces carbon dioxide. Rio Tinto is exploring the effectiveness of renewable energy sources in its operations to try and reduce the negative impacts mining has on the Earth.
The Diavik diamond mine features a historic solar power plant that can produce up to 4.2GW hours of electricity for its operations. The solar panels on-site use both the light of the sun as well as light reflected off of snow to generate electricity.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s visionary CEO, challenges a long-held belief about the future of programming. While everyone has been saying it’s crucial to learn coding, Huang turns that idea on its head. With the rise of AI, we are ALL programmers now – without ever writing a line of code.
The real miracle is here: artificial intelligence. It has closed the gap between humans and technology, making complex computing accessible to all. Whether you’re a professional or someone just dipping their toes into the world of tech, AI is now in your hands. Are you going to let this chance slip by? The time to act is now! 🌍🤖
The technology divide is no more. Every government, industry, and business is investing in AI. Will you get on board, or be left in the dust?
A new analysis of Mars’ gravitational field has revealed hidden structures buried beneath the remains of an ancient ocean.
The work, which was presented this week at the Europlanetary Science Congress in Berlin, could add to a growing body of evidence that suggests the Red Planet may not be as geologically “dead,” or inactive, as once believed.
Overlaid with a thick and smooth layer of sediment which may have once been a seabed, the structures are significantly denser than their surroundings — though a more precise explanation of what they might be has so far eluded researchers.
Jupiter’s moon, Io, is the most volcanically active planetary body in the entire solar system as it boasts hundreds of active volcanoes. This number continues to grow as recent study at the Europlanet Science Congress 2024 meeting showed a new active volcano on the small moon taken by NASA’s JunoCam after the spacecraft conducted the first up-close images of Io in more than a quarter of a century.
Not only have Io’s volcanoes been observed to shoot volcanic material hundreds of miles into space, but its lava fields also spread almost as far across its surface due to the much smaller gravity. For example, the volcanic deposits from this new image were observed to encompass an area spanning 180 kilometers by 180 kilometers (112 miles by 112 miles).
“Our recent JunoCam images show many changes on Io, including this large, complicated volcanic feature that appears to have formed from nothing since 1997,” said Dr. Michael Ravine, who is an Advanced Projects Manager at Malin Space Science Systems, Inc, which designed, developed and operates JunoCam for the NASA Juno Project, and is lead author of the study.
The senior population of Japan aswell as the global population needs to consider taking high dosages of nad plus as it has essentially proven that it can reverse the hallmarks of aging.
Japanese aged 65 or older now account for nearly 30 percent of the population, government data shows.
In context: The U.S. is eager to establish domestic foundry capabilities to produce AI chips, and Intel is working hard to position itself to be the provider. It was only natural, then, for CEO Pat Gelsinger to ask U.S. Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo to put in a good word on Intel’s behalf with America’s chip designers including the likes of Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, and Google.
Ever since Intel announced plans to open up its manufacturing capabilities beyond in-house CPUs, the company has targeted TSMC as its top competitor in the global foundry market. Nonetheless, it’s been a source of frustration that fellow U.S. companies rely so heavily on TSMC for most of their semiconductor manufacturing needs.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has turned to US Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo for help, and according to sources that spoke to CNBC, she is trying to deliver.
Studies of gravity variations at Mars have revealed dense, large-scale structures hidden beneath the sediment layers of a lost ocean. The analysis, which combines models and data from multiple missions, also shows that active processes in the Martian mantle may be giving a boost to the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons. The findings have been presented this week at the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) in Berlin by Bart Root of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
