Physical AI Robotic Ships on Patrol!

I recently received an email that essentially said something like, “Interested in physical AI, agentic AI, robotic ships, autonomy, maritime, offshore, subsea, security, ocean science… [the list went on]? If so, get in touch!”

Let’s take a step back before we race forward. Someone recently asked me how my “triage process” works for people pitching potential articles to me. I’d never really thought about this … Read More → "Physical AI Robotic Ships on Patrol!"

Should We Terraform Mars (“Yay” or “Nay”)?

When I was a kid growing up in the 1960s, I fully believed that humans could live on both Mars and Venus without requiring special suits or survival gear. This was because I had discovered the wonderful world of science fiction. Many of the books I devoured (figuratively speaking) described Mars as a dusty frontier world with a thin, dry atmosphere. By comparison, Venus was portrayed as a foggy, … Read More → "Should We Terraform Mars (“Yay” or “Nay”)?"

Want to Build Chips 10X faster and at 50% Lower Cost (Without Changing Existing Tools or Workflows)?

I have some news that will make chip and chiplet designers (we’re talking ASIC, ASSP, SoC, and multi-die systems) squeal in delight. However, before we leap headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and, it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, aplomb), I just got off a call with my old chum, Adam Taylor.

As you may recall from an Read More → "Want to Build Chips 10X faster and at 50% Lower Cost (Without Changing Existing Tools or Workflows)?"

Scaling Advanced Materials for the Future of Battery Manufacturing: An Interview with Joe Adiletta of Volexion

In this week’s podcast, we’re stepping onto the frontier of battery innovation! My guest is Volexion CEO Joe Adiletta. Joe and I discuss why some battery materials perform great in a lab but fail in real world production, what “designing backward from the factory” means in terms of battery design and the role that manufacturing plays … Read More → "Scaling Advanced Materials for the Future of Battery Manufacturing: An Interview with Joe Adiletta of Volexion"
