Through its massive wind turbines and innovative offshore designs, GE continues sharpening its toolkit in a bid to built the future of sustainable energy, and a newly unveiled turbine blade shows how that can extend to the materials used. A consortium … Continue reading GE’s produces world’s largest recyclable wind turbine blade
NASA’s massive new Moon rocket is inching closer to lift-off, with the Space Launch System (SLS) today exiting its Vehicle Assembly building for the first time and making its way for the launch pad. On arrival engineers will carry out what’s known as a… Continue reading NASA’s massive Moon rocket takes an excursion to the launch pad
Scientists exploring a novel but highly promising avenue of cancer treatment have developed a type of “invisibility cloak” that helps engineered bacteria sneak through the body’s immune defenses. The result is more powerful delivery of anti-cancer drug… Continue reading “Invisibility cloak” hides cancer-killing bacteria from the immune system
The ongoing miniaturization of electronics has allowed for the creation of some incredibly small sensors to track things like temperature and humidity. Imagining a future where hundreds of them are placed around forests or farms for large-scale monitor… Continue reading Tiny dandelion-inspired sensors can be dispersed by the wind
As useful and impressive as current battery technology is, versions that store renewable energy for grid-scale use may look vastly different to those inside today’s phones and electric vehicles. One promising technology is flow, or redox flow, batterie… Continue reading Symmetrical flow battery may strike right balance for grid-scale storage
The market for campsite cookers is brimming with stoves of all styles, but US outfit Firebox has come to the party with one designed to suit every occasion. The newly introduced Firebox Freestyle is a modular solution that uses a set of folding panels … Continue reading Firebox Freestyle stove folds into six styles of campsite cooker
Senolytics are an emerging class of drugs designed to target zombie-like cells that have stopped dividing and build up in the body as we age, and the past few years have seen some exciting discoveries that demonstrate their potential. Adding another to… Continue reading Senolytic drugs boost protein that protects against effects of aging
By studying the eating habits of the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, scientists have pinpointed a new mechanism that could be used for early diagnosis, and potentially prevent its worst effects. The team has identified a new antibody people produce… Continue reading Antibody discovery points to rapid, accurate test for Lyme disease
Improving our understanding of the impact obesity has on individual cells could go a long way to preventing some of its deleterious downstream effects, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Harvard scientists studying the molecular structure of … Continue reading Repairing cell structures altered by obesity restores metabolic function
Ford has announced plans to significantly ramp up its electrification efforts in Europe, outlining seven new EV models for the region and massive new investment in an assembly plant in Cologne, Germany. The new generation of electric vehicles will incl… Continue reading Ford plans seven new EVs and massive battery plant for Europe
