Designing better products with AI and sustainability

technologyreview.com Mit Technology Review Insights 2025-11-02 01:13:28

On a mission to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing components, Siemens turned its attention to the design of a robot gripper. Making up just 2% of the robot, the impact of this hand-like device may seem inconsequential. But, reducing its weight by 90% and the number of constituent parts by 84% can save up to 3 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per robot per year. Consider the impact of equivalent savings across every gripper on the more than 4 million industrial robots worldwide—tha

Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity—and It’s a Glimpse Into the Future

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-02 01:05:02

Scientists believe saltwater could become a reliable source of renewable energy through a process known as osmosis. Japan has now taken a major step in that direction. Earlier this month, Japan officially launched its first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, a large city to the west of Tokyo. That makes Japan the second country in the world to bet on osmotic power, after Denmark. Fukuoka’s plant is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year, enough to supply approxi

Galaxy S26 Ultra rumor hints at the return of a nostalgic design choice from 2021

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to get some major camera improvements. Those improvements could lead to Samsung bringing back the camera island. The design of the bump may be similar to the one we saw on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. For a few years now, Samsung has relied on nearly identical design language for its flagship Ultra phones. In fact, the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Ultra look so similar that you could easily confuse one for the other. But Samsun

Not so fast: German court says Apple can’t call Watch carbon neutral

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-11-02 10:35:27

Two years ago, Apple announced its Watch Series 9 as its first carbon-neutral product. From cradle to grave, the company said the manufacturing, use, and disposal of the then-new model didn’t contribute to global warming. Now, a German court says that Apple has to recant the claim. Each aluminum Apple Watch Series 9 and Series 10 — two models with the carbon-neutral designation — generates just over 8 kilograms of carbon emissions.

Much of that electricity was generated by the Akosombo and Kpong dams on the Volta River, but relying on hydroelectric power made Ghana susceptible to climate fluctuations that affect water levels.
