In early February, the Khronos Group, the open standards consortium which counts Google, Nvidia and Apple among its members, released a candidate for a new extension that could reshape how the world captures and shares three-dimensional reality. The extension, called...
You could argue that reliable electricity has never mattered more. Data centers powering AI are multiplying. Electric vehicles are spreading. Yet the grid carrying all this load was largely built decades ago, and it keeps failing under weather that old...
On most days, the picturesque Rappahannock River looks deceptively calm as it cuts through the rolling hills of northern Virginia. But for decades, drivers crossing the river on Interstate 95 barely noticed the scenery. All they saw was congestion, brake...
Hawai‘i is so rich in natural beauty that in parts of the world its name is shorthand for paradise. But exploring that paradise depends on something far more prosaic: roads. Maintaining them is anything but easy. Sun, salty air, torrential...
Often called the world’s largest machine, the power grid is an engineering marvel that helped supercharge modernity and bring electricity to homes and businesses. Cellular networks come close to the grid in size and importance. They revolutionized communications, banking, transportation,...
Protecting sub-sea level New Orleans from flooding. Building atop the shifting, salt-rich soil in Saudi Arabia. Reviving gold mines mothballed decades ago. These are just some of the challenges that engineers are successfully taking on around the world with help...
