In recent years, there have been several attempts at building a hydrogen boat. But UK startup Drift is navigating new territory with a vessel that isn’t hydrogen-powered, but hydrogen-producing. Drift is developing an autonomous yacht capable of making green hydrogen at sea. It could offer a quicker, more efficient way to produce and transport the fuel, especially in remote regions. “One of our main advantages is that we can service the hard-to-reach places,” Drift’s founder and CEO, Ben Medland, told TNW. “This is a huge benefit when compared to having a fixed installation.” Wind pushes the sailboat, spinning a turbine…This story continues at The Next Web […]
Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Spotify’s CEO Daniek Ek have taken aim at European lawmakers for enforcing “stifling” and “inconsistent” regulation that hampers the growth of tech companies. “Instead of clear rules that inform and guide how companies do business across the continent, our industry faces overlapping regulations and inconsistent guidance on how to comply with them,” wrote the pair in an op-ed Wednesday. “Without urgent action, Europe will miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity.” That opportunity, of course, is the rise of artificial intelligence. More specifically, open-source AI — like Meta’s Llama LLM — released publicly under a licence. Europe,…This story continues at The Next WebOr just read more coverage about: Spotify […]
Today, divers recovered the body of tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch from the wreckage of his family’s superyacht Bayesian, which sunk off the coast of Sicily on Monday. Lynch — sometimes referred to as “Britain’s Bill Gates” — was holidaying in Sicily with his family and friends when disaster struck. An intense storm caused the Bayesian to capsize, plunging it to the bottom of the Mediterranean within minutes. Of the 22 people on board, seven died, including Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. The tragedy comes just two months after a US jury found Lynch innocent of fraud charges in relation…This story continues at The Next Web […]
Space has become a crowded place. Astronomers estimate that over 10,000 active satellites were in orbit last month — four times as many as just five years ago. The surge in launches has ignited excitement about a new space race. But the cosmic traffic may be heading for a catastrophic crash. Back on Earth, the UK’s Space Operations Centre is tracking the threats with growing alarm. In July alone, the centre warned British satellite operators of 1,795 collision risks. Across the previous six months, almost 12,000 alerts were sent. Yet not every accident can be averted. In 2021, a Chinese military satellite was…This story continues at The Next Web […]

Divers, assisted by an underwater drone, recovered four of the corpses from the wreckage yesterday,…This story continues at The Next Web […]
Up Catalyst has closed a €2.36mn seed extension round to accelerate the development of an industrial pilot reactor that turns CO2 emissions into carbon materials. According to the Tallinn-based startup, the reactor will be able to produce 100 tonnes of CO2 per year. These can deliver 27 tonnes of advanced carbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphite — a key component of EV batteries. The company’s technology isolates CO2 from flue gasses from heavy industry emitters. It then uses a process called molten salt electrolysis to turn it into green carbon. “We’re essentially electro-transforming carbon dioxide gasses into carbon…This story continues at The Next Web […]
