Renault is set to launch its Dutch AC bidirectional charging package in collaboration with We Drive Solar and Hegg Energy in the first half of 2026. This will be the first commercialised #V2G

Renault Group en We Drive Solar introduceren allereerste V2G AC-laden service in Nederland - Renault Group
In Nederland beschikt meer dan 70% van de EV-rijders thuis over zonnepanelen*. Met het einde van de salderingsregeling (januari 2027) in het verschiet, groeit de interesse voor hergebruik van goedkope en/of eigen opgewekte energie. V2G vormt een oplossing hiervoor, terwijl het tegelijkertijd bijdraagt aan het balanceren van het elektriciteitsnet in Nederland. Dankzij V2G-technologie is laden […]

Pälkäneellä kerättiin kymmeniä hylkyjä pois rannoilta – vasta nyt aletaan herätä veneistä irtoavaan lasikuitu saasteeseen #Pälkäne

Pälkäneellä kerättiin kymmeniä hylkyjä pois rannoilta – vasta nyt aletaan herätä veneistä irtoavaan lasikuitusaasteeseen
Mikromuovin haitoista tiedetään jo paljon, mutta lasikuidun vaarallisuuteen ollaan vasta havahtumassa. Tutkija vertaa lasikuitua asbestiin ja vaatii veneteollisuutta vastuuseen.

Nscale closes $433M round, days after bagging $1.1BN funding
Nscale, the UK-based AI data centre startup, has closed a $433 million funding round, just days after bagging a $1.1 billion funding round, as the vast investment in AI infrastructure shows no signs of abating.Nscale, which pitches itself as a "hyperscaler engineered for AI", was named as a key local AI infrastructure partner for OpenAI, Microsoft and Nvidia, which announced significant investments into the UK AI ecosystem last week, coinciding with the visit of President Trump.The latest $433m…

Wat ik al zei: het #kieskompas is dusdanig slecht, ik vind het een scam. Als het per ongeluk is, dan zouden ze het in moeten trekken. https://stukroodvlees.nl/kieskompas-nou-doet-u-het-weer/

Kieskompas gaat weer in de fout - StukRoodVlees
Gisteren kwam het Kieskompas voor de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van 2025 online. Vier geleden schreef ik een kritisch stuk over deze populaire stemhulp. Op in ieder geval deze punten rammelde het Kieskompas: 1) het ruimtelijk model was geen goede weergave van de partijenruimte en 2) het Kieskompas gebruikte ten onrechte wisselende items om veranderingen door de […]

Leveraging modal structure similarity for simulation of spatially evolving wakes
We present a new methodology to enable efficient simulation of high Reynolds number wakes. In this approach, a body-exclusive hybrid simulation at Re = 5 x 10^4 is initialized using inflow fields reconstructed from a lower Reynolds number (Re = 5 x 10^3) body-inclusive simulation. Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (SPOD) is employed to identify dominant coherent structures, and a low-rank reconstruction generates physically meaningful inflow conditions. The resulting simulations accurate…

Stabilizing Humanoid Robot Trajectory Generation via Physics-Informed Learning and Control-Informed Steering
Recent trends in humanoid robot control have successfully employed imitation learning to enable the learned generation of smooth, human-like trajectories from human data. While these approaches make more realistic motions possible, they are limited by the amount of available motion data, and do not incorporate prior knowledge about the physical laws governing the system and its interactions with the environment. Thus they may violate such laws, leading to divergent trajectories and sliding cont…
