angular concrete walls outline crystal-like workspace's facade by curved dimension

Image
Amethyst by Curved Dimension challenges stereotypical workspace design by fostering a sense of unity and comfort among users. The design, set in Angamaly, India , takes inspiration from the crystalline structure of amethyst, incorporating faceted, angular walls that extend upwards, symbolizing growth and progression. Designed as an open office concept, the spatial layout prioritizes connectivity while integrating functional elements. Strategically positioned acoustic pods provide enclosed spaces for meetings and private discussions, balancing openness with areas for focused work. The inclusion of landscaped elements introduces a natural component, contributing to a more dynamic and engaging workspace. Instead of conventional decorative elements, the architectural forms define the visual experience, with structural compositions resembling Arctic-inspired geometries. The double-height reception area features a suspended crystal-like installation aligned with MANE KANCOR, the client bra...

How AI uncovered 3 billion years of bacterial evolution across 1 trillion species

Image
  There are roughly a trillion species of microorganisms on Earth – the vast majority of which are bacteria. Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are not like big animals that leave clear signs in the geological record, which thankful palaeontologists can study many millions of years later. This has made it very hard for scientists to establish a timeline of their early evolution. But with the help of machine learning, we have been able to fill in many of the details. Our new research, published today in Science, also reveals some bacteria developed the ability to use oxygen long before Earth became saturated with it roughly 2.4 billion years ago. A monumental event in Earth’s history About 4.5 billion years ago, the Moon formed. Violently. A Mars-size object collided with Earth, turning its surface into molten rock. If life existed before this cataclysm, it was probably destroyed. After that, the current ancestors of all living beings appeared: single-cell...

Advanced data-driven methods for monitoring solar and wind energy systems

Image
Renewable energy systems, including solar and wind power, are pivotal contributors to tackling global challenges, such as climate change, reducing fossil fuel dependence, and promoting sustainable development. Solar power harnesses the boundless energy radiated by the sun, offering an abundant and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Simultaneously, wind energy capitalizes on the kinetic energy of the atmosphere, converting it into electricity through technologically advanced wind turbines. These systems mitigate environmental degradation, curb greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to resilient energy infrastructures by harnessing clean and abundant natural sources. In the face of increasing global energy needs, the shift towards renewables becomes increasingly critical for ensuring energy security, fostering innovation, and sustaining a cleaner, more equitable future. The rapid evolution of the renewable energy market has resulted in a substantial sur...

Energy Companies Using Blockchain Technology

Image
Blockchain technology is viewed as a promising tool in the energy sector to record and streamline transactions between energy generators and consumers Blockchain has numerous applications, from peer-to-peer energy trading to verifying energy origins. Experts predict that blockchain technology can revolutionise the energy sector by improving energy operations throughout the value chain and managing the complexities of a decentralised energy system. Blockchain technology provides a means to legitimise, secure, and automate energy transfers without intermediaries. According to Emergen Research, the global blockchain in energy market size is expected to grow to $8,761.4 million in 2027, registering a CAGR of 56.1% during the forecast period. Automated Pay-Per-Use is a new offering from Siemens Energy that enables utilities to pay for upgraded services only when they are used. A portion of the cost is paid when revenue is generated through successful electricity sales. This payment model...
