Ion Storage Systems, Inc. (@ION_Storage_Sys) announced today the successful customer qualification of its Cornerstone™ Cell performance. This marks ION as the first US solid-state battery technology company to achieve customer qualification for its cell performance, a remarkable achievement after the recent announcement of shipping sample cells to leading industrial, consumer electronic, and automotive companies. Ion Storage Systems has technology developed at @ClarkSchool. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

From plumber to driver to pilot: Mario is reaching new heights thanks to @UMDAero's Mumu Xu. She used AI to train Mario to drive safely, and her AI models could enhance safety across industries This #MarioDay, learn about Xu's work: eng.umd.edu/engineering-ai…

The rapid adoption of AI is reshaping nearly every industry as it accelerates automation and increases efficiency. At the same time, the advent of AI has strained natural resources and revealed the need for a workforce that knows how to harness its capabilities and maintain its infrastructure. With research that aims to make AI data centers better for the environment, improve self-driving car safety and leverage big data to boost industrial efficiency, Maryland Engineering is developing creative, pragmatic solutions to a range of challenges. And with the introduction of a new engineering AI master’s degree for professionals, the school is equipping professionals with the skills they need to lead in the AI economy.

When Adrian Cires saw his Mars rover lift its robotic arm for the first time, he did the unthinkable. He raced to the robot, leaned forward and planted his lips on its metal beams. “I literally kissed it,” said Cires, a senior at @UMDscience and president of UMD Loop. “Oh my god—I just got so excited.” For the third straight year, the student-led UMD Loop team is vying to compete in the University Rover Competition (URC)—a tournament organized by the Mars Society that challenges teams to build cutting-edge Mars rovers capable of completing missions such as autonomous navigation and detecting signatures of life. cmns.umd.edu/news-events/ne…
