- IEEE Recognizes Itaipu Dam’s Engineering Achievements March 20, 2025Technology should benefit humanity. One of the most remarkable examples of technology’s potential to provide enduring benefits is the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam, a massive binational energy project between Brazil and Paraguay. Built on the Paraná River, which forms part of the border between the two nations, Itaipu transformed a once-contested hydroelectric resource into a shared […]Willie D. Jones
- Data Centers Seek Engineers Amid a Talent Shortage March 20, 2025The rapid development of AI is fueling a data center boom, unlocking billions of dollars in investments to build the infrastructure needed to support data- and energy-hungry models. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are among the key players backing large-scale AI projects, betting that new data centers will create jobs. In the United States, the Trump […]Aaron Mok
- Squirrels Inspire Leaping Strategy for Salto Robot March 19, 2025When you see a squirrel jump to a branch, you might think (and I myself thought, up until just now) that they’re doing what birds and primates would do to stick the landing: just grabbing the branch and hanging on. But it turns out that squirrels, being squirrels, don’t actually have prehensile hands or feet, […]Evan Ackerman
