Much lower energy fast chips:
"Scientists from the University of Warwick and the National Research Council of Canada have reported the highest "hole mobility" ever measured in a material that works within today's silicon-based semiconductor manufacturing...
This achievement also represents a significant accomplishment for Warwick's Semiconductors Research Group and highlights the UK's growing influence in advanced semiconductor materials research."…

A 1950s material just set a modern record for lightning-fast chips
Researchers engineered a strained germanium layer on silicon that allows charge to move faster than in any silicon-compatible material to date. This record mobility could lead to chips that run cooler, faster, and with dramatically lower energy consumption. The discovery also enhances the prospects for silicon-based quantum devices.

The German love for combustion is a perpetuum mobile.
68.5% of Germans believe that their car makers are not fully committed to electric mobility.
Furthermore, 47.8% believe that politicians do not view electric mobility as the technology of the future.

Diese Arbeit von Janna H. Schulte an der #TUHH setzt sich mit den Stellplatzsatzungen in SH auseinander und bringt wichtige Punkte hervor:
- die Datenlage ist schwach
- Stellplatzsatzungen werden nicht sinnvoll hergeleitet
- Stellplatzsatzungen behindern Fortschritte im Verkehr
- Privatparkplätze werden aus Angst einer Überflutung des öffentlichen Raums gefordert, aber tatsächlich…

Pkw-Stellplatzpflicht im Wohnungsbau: Hebel oder Hemmnis für Mobilitätswende und lebenswerte Städte?
In Germany, minimum parking requirements regulate by law that a certain number of parking spaces have to be provided for new construction developments almost nationwide. This paper examines to which extent the requirements in residential construction hinder or (prospectively) promote the mobility transition towards sustainable, car-independent mobility. Based on a literature review and a case study of Schleswig-Holstein, it is shown that the regulations have so far hindered the mobility transit…

i agree that this is depressing, but i don't think AI is the _cause_. this problem started when we collectively decided to gatekeep social and physical mobility with higher education
i went to university ~15 years ago. a naive idiot, i thought that i'm there to learn. eventually one of my parents casually admitted that university is for getting connections--i think the parent who was doing a PhD at the time, too

disabling the backup beeper in a Metro Mobility M2 scooter:
turn it on its side. underneath, near the rear wheels, there are several wires. one pair of wires goes to a small cylinder which is the beeper. you can't see it easily, but you can touch it easily, and you can feel it vibrate when the scooter beeps.
detach that pair of wires. cutting them is ok, it won't affect anything else.
this might be similar for other scooters. I'm posting this because search fail…

Visual, auditory, and audiovisual time-to-collision estimation among participants with age-related macular degeneration compared to a normal-vision group: The TTC-AMD study
Little is known about whether and to what degree people with different amounts of visual impairment rely on hearing instead of vision for mobility, particularly in judgments of collision. We measured how much importance was assigned to visual and auditory cues during time-to-collision judgments made by people with age-related macular degeneration (Impaired Vision Group; IV) compared to a control group without age-related macular degeneration (Normal Vision Group; NV). A virtual reality system s…

I think it is fair to say that most well-to-do people would not uproot generational homelands and livelihood to take a chance being an unknown in a foreign landscape, even if one has connections there, and yet, this current migration dwarfs the post-WWII flux. Sure, maybe I myself set out on the horizon in search of (mild) adventure, but I find it hard to believe 4% of humanity are crazy like me.
That alone speaks volumes at how successful we are at governing the planet, assuming, of course, that data matters in the least, which, presently, it does not.

Targeted cooling of urban cycling networks for heat-resilient mobility

There are two reasons that Motability includes “premium” brands:
1/ they are often the ones that meet the needs of the users with features like parking assistance for those who cannot see behind them
2/ the leases are often cheaper than non premium brands as their resale value is so much higher.
The effect of these changes might well be that Mobility actually costs the government MORE money 🤦‍♀️

Research shows traffic light climate impact accounts for 15% of U.S. transport emissions. MIT’s eco-driving simulations suggest smartphone-guided traffic smoothing could cut emissions 11–22%. The approach adapts to adoption levels and complements EVs and hybrids, offering a fast, scalable solution for cleaner mobility at intersections nationwide.

Germany just committed €3 billion to help lower-income families afford electric vehicles. This is a game-changer for EV accessibility—making clean transportation a reality for people who've been priced out of the electric transition. It's not just about climate goals anymore; it's about equity.

Germany agrees €3 billion support scheme to make EVs affordable for lower income groups
German government has agreed to spend three billion euros ($A5.3 billion) on a new scheme to support electric mobility adoption among low- and middle-income groups.
