The AI telling farmers when to harvest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the first day of the apple harvest rolled around in Washington State last year, the fruit was ripe and the pickers were ready – but the weather had other ideas. "It was like 38C… it's not safe for people to work in that heat," recalls Joel Carter at Okanagan Specialty Fruits. "We had to stop at 10 o'clock in the morning." He says that artificial intelligence (AI) models that forecast ideal harvest dates, taking into account the weather, would be useful. "You need to know more than just when
The start-ups hoping to return battery making to the US (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As heatwaves scorched Europe this summer, workers at a US battery company noticed an uptick in demand. San Diego-based Unigrid sells a nine kilowatt hour battery for people's homes. Sweltering European homeowners were apparently looking for ways of storing power when it was available from the grid at lower rates. They could then run air conditioners more cheaply, off the battery, during the worst heat of the day. "We have requests coming from Spain, France, Germany, The Netherlands," says Darren
Why so few companies make aircraft windows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An industrial nightmare was brewing south of Los Angeles. In late May, a chemical storage tank with more than 7,000 gallons of toxic material began heating up – fast.

Eagles and wolves: The long-lost animals that live on in Irish place names (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Irish place names hark back to a world alive with cranes, wolves and eagles. Now these old names are piquing the interest of nature-lovers and ecologists. Along the island of Ireland's southwestern reaches lie craggy headlands blasted by Atlantic storms. This is the very edge of Europe, where County Kerry's breath-taking Dingle peninsula – a crooked finger of black rock and green grass – points resolutely west. And right at the end of that peninsula stands an ocean-facing mountain called Sliabh
Pizza restaurants: Why pizza-making robots are not cutting it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The "dough feeder". The sauce and cheese modules – even the pepperoni-sprinkler. All lay still. A now defunct duo of robots were supposed to be churning out pizzas at a Moto Pizza restaurant in Seattle. However, in May the pair were rendered "basically useless" when their supplier, Picnic, abruptly shut down. Technical support for the robots evaporated at that moment, says Lee Kindell, founder and chief executive of Moto Pizza. He was left wondering what to do with the $160,000 (£118,000), cabin
