Earlier this year we saw Mercedes-AMG roll out its most powerful V8 ever, the GT Black Series, and the automaker has wasted little time in showing what it can do. While street legal, the 4-liter twin turbo was designed to do its business primarily on t… Continue reading Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series claims production car record at Nürburgring
Just like standard lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries work by sending ions back and forth between a pair of electrodes in a liquid electrolyte, but current designs have their limitations. A research team in Russia has discovered a new bright, … Continue reading Newly discovered mineral offers a blueprint for next-gen battery parts
Following the historic Crew-1 launch, which saw four astronauts lifted into space from US soil on the first ever crewed operational flight of a commercial spacecraft, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon has now safely docked with the International Space Station.Conti… Continue reading SpaceX’s Crew Dragon delivers four astronauts to the ISS
That regular exercise promotes good health is a given, but lately scientists are beginning to unearth some of the intricate mechanisms behind this relationship. A new study has shone a light on short bursts of vigorous exercise specifically, finding th… Continue reading Short exercise bursts produce “striking” effects on metabolic health
Injections of pain-relief medication into the affected joints is one of the primary ways physicians treat discomfort in sufferers of osteoarthritis, but the effects don’t last forever. A novel technique that involves directing low-grade radiofrequency … Continue reading Stunning nerves with radio waves offers relief from arthritic pain
Perovskite solar cells have gained a lot of attention in research circles recently owing to significant and relatively fast leaps in its efficiency, but the toxic lead they contain is something engineers would rather do without. There are alternatives … Continue reading Next-gen solar material excels at harvesting energy from indoor light
Research into the relationship between the brain and the bacteria in our bellies is uncovering links to an increasing number of neurological conditions, with Alzheimer’s among them. A new study is throwing further weight behind the theory that an imbalance in the gut microbiome may be related to the onset of the disease, showing how shifts in bacterial diversity are associated with inflammation and heightened numbers of amyloid plaques in the brain, one of the hallmarks of the condition.

Two years ago, transportation company Segway-Ninebot branched out with an electric go-kart designed to thrill young and old drivers with a frame built to drift, rather than travel at any great speeds. The company has now rolled out a more powerful vers… Continue reading Segway sends its Gokart PRO sideways with a built in drift assistant
Through a newfound understanding of the way insulin secretion is triggered in pancreatic cells, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have uncovered an exciting new pathway for the development of treatments for type 2 diabetes. Not only doe… Continue reading Rewiring the metabolism of pancreatic cells may keep diabetes in check
The majority of today’s lithium batteries use a rare and expensive metal called cobalt as part of the cathode component, but mining this material comes at a great cost to the environment. One of the greener alternatives is known as lithium ion phosphat… Continue reading Battery recycling breakthrough bolsters case against heavy metals
