  1. NPR Topics: News | EV battery recycling has an economics problem. Colorado has a solution by Camila Domonoske

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    EV batteries are full of valuable minerals, yet many salvage yards can’t profit from recycling them because the cost of shipping and processing often exceeds the material value, leaving owners with “liability” batteries that sit unused or become hazardous waste. While large manufacturers like GM can absorb these costs and even earn revenue from recycling, smaller yards lack the economies of scale, especially with the rise of cheaper iron‑phosphate batteries that have little resale value. To address the growing risk of stranded batteries, Colorado enacted a “producer‑responsibility” law requiring the original automakers to take back and properly recycle EV batteries, a move backed by a broad coalition of industry groups, recyclers, and environmental advocates and seen as a model for other states.

  9. Weekly output: Symbotic, Most Innovative Companies in robotics, Redwood Materials, Most Innovative Companies in manufacturing, Matter security label, SpaceX and Starship, AT&T and AST SpaceMobile, Android 15, Waymo, This Week in Tech

    If you’ve been wondering why it’s been so long since I last had a byline with Fast Company, here’s your answer: I’ve spent a non-trivial part of the last three months helping to put together the robotics and manufacturing parts of the publication’s Most Innovative Companies list.

    (In my nonexistent spare time, I also wrote a post for Patreon readers about my roadmap to getting our house off the methane gas grid–starting with the appliance that represents the smallest part of that fossil-fuel problem.)

    3/19/2024: How Symbotic is speeding up warehouse robots, even in the dark, Fast Company

    This piece profiles one of the finalists in the MIC robotics category–a warehouse-robot developer whose customers include Target and Walmart, and which the editors ranked number 34 among the 50 most innovative firms in the world.

    3/19/2024: The most innovative companies in robotics for 2024, Fast Company

    In addition to Symbotic, Doodle Labs, Agility Robotics, Locus Robotics, Dusty Robotics, Gecko Robotics, Nearthlab, Opentrons, Stratom, and Teleo earned MIC nods and brief writeups from me.

    3/19/2024: Here’s how Redwood Materials is creating a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries, Fast Company

    Here, I took a closer look at the company that ranked 19th among the top 50, a startup moving to scale up EV battery recycling with some help from the government.

    3/19/2024: The most innovative companies in manufacturing for 2024, Fast Company

    Our other MIC nominees in this category: Group14 Technologies, Holcim (written by another Fast Co. contributor, Ted C. Fishman), Mighty Buildings, Formlabs, Nucor, Cellares, Doosan Bobcat, Pyrowave, and Timken.

    3/19/2024: Watch Out for This Blue Badge on the Next Smart Home Device You Buy, PCMag

    The organization behind the Matter connected-gadget standard are now moving to sync up their security efforts with government labeling programs.

    3/19/2024: SpaceX Expects Next Starship Launch in About 6 Weeks, PCMag

    SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell shared some news about the progress of the company’s Starship project and Starlink efforts during a panel at the Satellite 2024 show in D.C.

    3/22/2024: AT&T, AST SpaceMobile Promise ‘True Broadband’ From Satellite Phone Service, PCMag

    I filed a second piece from Satellite about AT&T’s plans to fill in dead zones using an upcoming constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites operated by its partner AST SpaceMobile.

    3/22/2024: Android 15’s Second Developer Preview Augments Satellite Roaming, PCMag

    Space-based broadband showed up in my coverage a third time when Google announced a new set of features coming to the next version of Android that include software to report when your phone has switched to a satellite connection.

    3/22/2024: Waymo Wants You to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Robotaxi, PCMag

    Thursday, I had to rush from Satellite to a Waymo event–a good use case not for a driverless car but for a bikeshare ride–to catch a panel about road safety that I found unintentionally revealing.

    3/24/2024: This Week in Tech 972: Judicial Whimsy, TWiT.tv

    I showed up at this podcast for the first time since August and joined host Leo Laporte and two people whose expertise I’ve leaned on before in my stories–game developer and activist Brianna Wu and lawyer Cathy Gellis–to talk about the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against Apple, whether the government should ban business transactions with TikTok, Supreme Court cases involving social-media content moderation, and other recent tech-policy topics.
