The typical freezers found homes and restaurants play an invaluable role in preserving foods until they’re ready to be eaten, but an alternative technology promises to not only use far less energy, but improve food quality at the same time. Known as is… Continue reading Low-energy freezing technology keeps food fresh without forming ice
The era of the all-electric pickup truck has drawn a great deal closer today, with the very first vehicle rolling off the production line at Rivian’s factory in Illinois, as revealed by CEO RJ Scaringe on Twitter. The arrival of the R1T comes just a fe… Continue reading Rivian’s first R1T electric pickup truck rolls off the production line
There are many reasons different cancer treatments don’t have the intended consequences and the disease is able to prosper despite our best efforts. One example is a tumor that contains barely any immune cells, which renders immunotherapy cancer treatm… Continue reading Low-dose radiation heats up “cold” tumors for easier targeting
Scientists looking into the biological mechanisms behind deteriorating bones have made a discovery that could help tackle age-related conditions like osteoporosis, by rejuvenating stem cells that are central to the process. The newly published study de… Continue reading Sodium acetate acts as a potential fountain of youth for aging bones
By casting one eye to a past where ancient buildings were held together with animal blood, and one eye to a future where humans use Martian soil for on-site construction, scientists have cooked up a new recipe for cost effective “cosmic concrete.” Grou… Continue reading “Cosmic concrete” can be made onsite from Mars soil and astronaut blood
While for us the discovery of a cavity might mean it’s time for a trip to the dentist’s office, their discovery in our early ancestors can act as an important indicator of ancient dietary trends. Fresh analysis of 54-million-year-old fossils has reveal… Continue reading Oldest cavities ever found in a mammal betray a prehistoric sweet tooth
Among the many exciting chemistries being pursued for next-generation batteries, lithium-sulfur is one with significant potential, owing to its ability to store up to five times as much energy as today’s lithium-ion solutions. Scientists in Australia h… Continue reading Sugar-doped lithium sulfur battery promises up to 5 times the capacity
One of the many areas graphene promises to have transformative effects is in fortifying construction materials like concrete and asphalt. A first-of-a-kind trial now underway seeks to apply the wonder material’s impressive attributes to one of the UK’s… Continue reading World-first resurfacing project mixes graphene into freshly laid UK road
When Tesla revealed the Plaid variant of its Model S back in June, it was clear that it would have few competitors in the electric vehicle space, at least so far as the performance of four-door sedans go. The company has recently been busy proving its … Continue reading Tesla Model S Plaid claims production EV record at the Nürburgring
Hypersonic aircraft that fly many times the speed of sound might one day carry people from the US to Australia in just a few hours, but with all that velocity comes a hell of a lot of heat. One way scientists hope to prevent them overheating is by havi… Continue reading Tiny heat exchangers may let hypersonic plane fuel double as coolant
