We are currently at the peak of the holiday season, but instead of drinking cocktails on the beach, hiking the mountains ,and enjoying what life has to offer, a surprising number of people are reluctant to take time out from work. Recent research shows one in five people in Ireland do not take their full annual leave entitlement. And in the UK, two in five workers have taken less leave... Read more ›

Between 2000 and 2018, the number of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) manufactured was multiplied by 80. In 2018, 66% of them were used in electric vehicles (EVs). The planned development of electric mobility will increase demand for batteries, with the International Energy Agency estimating that between 2019 and 2030, battery demand will grow 17-fold. This situation raises many questions related to the materials used to manufacture these batteries: what resources are... Read more ›

As we enter a new era defined by artificial intelligence and machine learning, the very foundation of many modern technologies is being put under a microscope by policymakers. That foundation? Data. Data is required for the refinement of most cutting-edge technology, and it will only become more important in future as we develop more sophisticated AI and ML models, fueled by richer, higher quality data sets. However, there are strict... Read more ›

“Technology is a bridge between us all. Together we are European tech, united.” These were TNW CEO Myrthe van der Erve’s words during the opening ceremony of TNW Conference 2022. “Tech is evolving,” she says. “To stay ahead, we need to discover the next in tech, now.” Those words are more than idealism, and carry real urgency. We seem to be hopping from health to political to economic crisis. And... Read more ›

For three decades, people have been deluged with information suggesting that depression is caused by a “chemical imbalance” in the brain – namely an imbalance of a brain chemical called serotonin. However, our latest research review shows that the evidence does not support it. Although first proposed in the 1960s, the serotonin theory of depression started to be widely promoted by the pharmaceutical industry in the 1990s in association with... Read more ›

This article contains spoilers for the 1973 film “Soylent Green.” It’s a hot AI summer out here for everyone who has even the slightest interest in putting the “art” in artificial intelligence. I’m talking about DALL-E 2 and OpenAI’s announcement that its incredible text-to-art generator would be entering a closed-beta. Most exciting of all: an additional one million people will gain access to DALL-E 2. Woohoo! Let’s do a cartwheel.... Read more ›

This article was originally published on Built In by Alexander Lewis. What is jargon, anyway? In a literal sense, jargon is simply a word or phrase that requires specialized knowledge for the reader to understand. For our purposes — which include helping people at technical companies write clearly about their offerings — that definition isn’t practical. Most of us only think of the word “jargon” in a negative sense. It’s... Read more ›

A team of scientists in China recently used what’s essentially the quantum physics version of stage magic to demonstrate just how brittle our concept of reality is. Abracadabra, you don’t really exist. Up front: The big idea in play here is called “quantum advantage.” Typically we hear about this in the world of quantum computing. There, quantum advantage is the hypothetical point at which a quantum computer can outperform any... Read more ›

A 2019 poll found that children would rather be YouTubers than astronauts. It made headlines and led to plenty of grumbling about “kids these days”. But it’s not surprising that young people – up to 1.3 million in the UK – want to make their income by creating social media content. The global influencer market was estimated to be worth $13.8 billion (£11.2 billion) in 2021. Individual influencers such as... Read more ›

This week, the masses are up in arms with the news that entrepreneur, fashionista, and reality TV star Kylie Jenner uses her $70 million luxury private jet to take short-haul flights. But short-haul travel is far from an anomaly as we usher in an era of eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) for on-demand trips. And it remains, for the near future, the domain of the rich. So, what’s... Read more ›

In a huge blow to Big Tech, the EU is stepping up to regulate these behemoths’ long-criticized, monopolist market strategies. On Monday, the European Council adopted the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a set of new rules to create fairer online competition. The act aims to establish a level digital playing field, by setting clear rights and rules for large online platforms (referred to as “gatekeepers”), making it more difficult for... Read more ›

One of the world’s most popular social media platforms, TikTok, is now host to a steady stream of deepfake videos. Deepfakes are videos in which a subject’s face or body has been digitally altered to make them look like someone else – usually a famous person.

One of the biggest criticisms against EVs is that they’re not as green as you might think due to the CO2 emissions produced by their lithium-ion batteries. These occur during the extraction of lithium and during the battery’s manufacturing process. However, new research by Minviro, a company specialized in raw material life-cycle analysis, has found that an emerging battery technology can significantly reduce an EV’s carbon footprint: solid-state batteries. They... Read more ›
