Water security is a significant problem and pulling it out of the air, as fanciful as that may sound, is shaping as a potential part of the solution. A team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has put forward a promising example of this typ… Continue reading Sponge-like aerogel turns airborne vapor into drinkable water
San Francisco-based aquatic drone-maker Saildrone has returned with a bigger and better version of its unmanned vehicle designed to explore the seas. The newly introduced 72-ft (22-m) Saildrone Surveyor is equipped with the hardware needed to map the s… Continue reading 72-ft autonomous Saildrone sets out on seafloor-mapping mission
As we’ve seen through recently constructed office buildings in Dubai, bridges in the Netherlands and low-cost housing in Latin America, 3D printing is beginning to shape the way modern structures are formed, and new research could further widen the pot… Continue reading Lobster shells inspire stronger 3D-printed concrete
Shifting to alternative propulsion technologies could go a long way toward cleaning up the pollution created by the aviation sector, and a new design cooked up by MIT scientists offers an intriguing look at a potential solution. The engineering team be… Continue reading MIT’s hybrid electric plane concept captures its own harmful pollutants
A new study has found that braving the cold may be a good way to help burn off some of that Christmas pudding. The sample size may be small, but the research suggests the ambient temperature while exercising can have an effect on fat metabolism.Continu… Continue reading Study hints at fat-burning potential of exercising in the cold
Recent studies have shown just how far plastic pollution can travel when it is broken down into tiny fragments, with these so-called microplastics turning up everywhere from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and in human stool all around the world. A new st… Continue reading Aerosol samples above the ocean reveal microplastics spread by the wind
