Builders typically rely on a set of printed, complicated blueprints at the job site to communicate complex architectural building designs. But blueprints don’t always work, especially when there are multiple iterations of the same plan with different pieces of information across multiple sheets. Builders are often left interpreting the designer’s [...]

Builders typically rely on a set of printed, complicated blueprints at the job site to communicate complex architectural building designs. But blueprints don’t always work, especially when there are multiple iterations of the same plan with different pieces of information across multiple sheets. Builders are often left interpreting the designer’s intent rather than building per […]

A team of electric vehicle (EV) researchers and stakeholders has released recommendations designed to help the industry improve the charging experience for EV owners. In the new Customer-Focused Key Performance Indicators for Electric Vehicle Charging report, the National Charging Experience Consortium, or ChargeX Consortium, defined two sets of recommended key [...]

In 2021, Idaho National Laboratory committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2031. But reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions at an organization the size of INL is no easy task. The laboratory occupies a space roughly 85% the size of Rhode Island. In terms of people and infrastructure — roughly [...]

The laboratory occupies a space roughly 85% the size of Rhode Island. In terms of people and infrastructure — roughly 6,000 employees, 700 vehicles, 300 […]

IDAHO FALLS – Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has completed substantial construction of a new facility that will serve as a national asset for accelerated research, development and qualification of structural nuclear materials. The Sample Preparation Laboratory (SPL) is expected to be operational in 2025. As the first new hot cell [...]

Kenya Stump, an executive with the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet for over 17 years, has seen the volatility of coal as an energy source: shrinking demand, plant closures, job losses and tougher pollution controls. Utilities have responded to that pressure by relying more on natural gas plants because they [...]

Kenya Stump, an executive with the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet for over 17 years, has seen the volatility of coal as an energy source: shrinking demand, plant closures, job losses and tougher pollution controls. Utilities have responded to that pressure by relying more on natural gas plants because they are cheaper and cleaner than […]

Matthew Balderree first encountered drones in 2004 as a technical sergeant in the U.S. Air Force working with an early warning and airspace management radar system in Iraq. For Balderree, that airspace included predator drones, unmanned aircrafts used in numerous military conflicts starting in 1995. In the Air Force, new [...]

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) feature prominently in advancing technological development across many industries. Data is used to train algorithms, which are a set of digital rules, so tools can perform tasks that can imitate human behavior or enhance tasks generally performed by them: Think ChatGPT and how [...]
