W I was worried Svenja Schulze I went on vacation. Maybe with plane, ship, car, cow, something pollutantunwreibreibendem stop. But then the Federal Environment Minister appeared in the Rhineland, where she found out about the hardware retrofitting she loved for old diesels. Because the minister wants to avoid driving bans. The same thing that has… Continue reading Adieu BMW, Mercedes, VW?

Salaries in Dax companies diverges
D The salary gap in Germany’s top corporations has increased in the past year. The executives of the 30 Dax companies earned an average of 52 times as much as their employees, as a study published on Thursday in Frankfurt by the German Association for the Protection of Securities ( DSW ) and the Technical… Continue reading Salaries in Dax companies diverges
Auto duties are not off the table
D onald Trump threatens with additional duties on cars and car parts. The consequence of this would be grave, especially compared to the import surcharges for steel and aluminum, which the American president has already set in motion for manufacturers from Europe. The stock market development of BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen speaks for itself –… Continue reading Auto duties are not off the table
IBM’s New Do-It-All Deep-Learning Chip
Illustration: iStockphoto The field of deep learning is still in flux, but some things have started to settle out. In particular, experts recognize that neural nets can get a lot of computation done with little energy if a chip approximates an answer using low-precision math. That’s especially useful in mobile and other power-constrained devices. But some… Continue reading IBM’s New Do-It-All Deep-Learning Chip
We Grew Algae and Asked Spectrum Editors to Taste It
Algae could be the environmentally-friendly superfood we’ve all been waiting for. But will anyone actually eat it? When was the last time you sipped algae? Chances are, you’ve never done that. But while working on a special report about potential climate-saving technologies, IEEE Spectrum decided to try to grow Spirulina, which proponents have pitched as… Continue reading We Grew Algae and Asked Spectrum Editors to Taste It
Nanotechnology Takes Giant Leap Foward by Manipulating Molecules
Image: Forschungszentrum Jülich/T. EsatThis illustration shows a PTCDA molecule positioned upright on a silver platter [left]. Normally, the molecule would lie flat atop a layer of silver atoms [right]. If nanotechnology has captured the popular imagination in any way, it has likely been in the form of so-called molecular nanotechnology, in which nanoscale machines assemble… Continue reading Nanotechnology Takes Giant Leap Foward by Manipulating Molecules
Chip Hall of Fame: RCA CDP 1802

Weisbecker was the architect of the RCA CDP 1802 microprocessor, also known as the Cosmac. Part of what made the 1802 special… Continue reading Chip Hall of Fame: RCA CDP 1802
Facebook’s DensePose Tech Raises Concerns About Potential Misuse
Image: Facebook In early 2018, Facebook’s AI researchers unveiled a deep learning system that can transform 2D photo and video images of people into 3D mesh models of those human bodies in motion. Last month, Facebook publicly shared the code for its “DensePose” technology, which could be used by Hollywood filmmakers and augmented reality game… Continue reading Facebook’s DensePose Tech Raises Concerns About Potential Misuse
Asimo Still Improving Its Hopping and Jogging Skills
Image: Honda Research We learned last week that Honda is putting Asimo out to pasture, so to speak, which is a little sad, but not too sad: Honda is doing this because they want to instead focus on the other, more useful humanoid robots that they’ve been working on recently, like E2-DR. Honda learned a… Continue reading Asimo Still Improving Its Hopping and Jogging Skills
