#Ford new cable chargers electric cars in 5 minutes https://t.co/EC2X9z49HJ What’s the breakthrough? New cable sends more current—a whopping 4.6 times sent via #Tesla#Supercharger cables. Reason we can’t build these today: moving that much electricity generates lots of heat #evs
Food production is estimated to be 1/3 of all human-caused GHG emissions and is expected to grow 30% by 2050. Aquaculture poses a better alternative to traditional fishing
A: There are lots of opportunity for tech solutions in aquaculture, e.g. automation and machine learning. Imagine you could have a computer figure out how much food is needed to feed the fish in a farm & at what time SUCH THAT the least amount of food is wasted.
"Every engineering school should teach the same principle that medical schools teach their students: Do No Harm. We need to teach the next generation to do no harm & protect our environment!" Great words from Dr. Nepf
