Shipping giant Maersk is teaming up with Danish energy company Ørsted on a new venture hoped to cut into the carbon emissions generated by vessels idling offshore. Their solution is a purpose-built charging buoy that supplies power to ships moored over… Continue reading Offshore charging buoy to cut into carbon emissions of idling ships
Recreating the process of natural photosynthesis in which plants turn sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into energy is a long-pursued goal in science. Often described as an “artificial leaf,” these systems could play a key role in the fight against cl… Continue reading Novel “artificial leaf” design ups the carbon capture rate by 100x
Cancer therapies that harness and enhance a patient’s unique immune response hold great potential as personalized forms of treatment, and a new tool developed at Northwestern University could expand the availability and effectiveness of this technology… Continue reading “Goldilocks” sets of immune cells cause dramatic shrinkage of tumors
Next-generation therapies that fight obesity could come in many forms, but one example from Nanyang Technological University that uses a unique combination of light and metabolic function to break down fat has some unique advantages. The team’s solutio… Continue reading Hydrogel injected into fat stores fights obesity from within
For the prospect of limitless, clean energy produced through nuclear fusion to become a reality, scientists need the reactions at the heart of the technology to become self-sustaining, and newly published research has edged them closer to that goal. Sc… Continue reading Nuclear fusion milestone creates “burning plasma” for the first time
By carefully tinkering with the chemical structure of a common household plastic, scientists have managed to upcycle it into a reusable adhesive with unique and hugely promising properties. A small patch of the substance can be used to hold around 300 … Continue reading Upcycled adhesive is one of the toughest materials ever reported
An innovative trailer attachment plate designed to prevent injury and death among truck drivers has proven itself in the face of a roaring jet engine. For its latest demonstration, Axicle has shown how its sensor-loaded fifth-wheel plate can quickly je… Continue reading Jet engine blast demonstrates life-saving anti-rollover hitch
Studies in recent years have continued to illuminate the beneficial ways exercise can influence the aging process, helping tackle vision loss, heart damage and promoting muscle repair, to list a few examples. New research has added to this pool of know… Continue reading Exercise takes 10% off the age of old mice muscles
Scientists have developed an advanced new type of humidity sensor that takes inspiration from camel noses to overcome shortcomings with existing solutions. The novel device is capable of detecting low levels of water molecules in the air and opens up s… Continue reading Humidity sensor inspired by camel noses can trace moving fingers
An experimental drug under investigation as a potential cancer treatment has shown exciting potential in an entirely unrelated field of medicine, with scientists finding it confers benefits for weight loss and metabolic health in mice. These benefits w… Continue reading Experimental cancer drug mimics benefits of fasting to fight obesity
