With the oceans becoming warmer and more acidic, the world’s coral reefs are confronted with increasing danger of heat stress and severe bleaching, as we’ve seen with Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in recent years. Scientists are taking inspiration fro… Continue reading Microbiome transplants help vulnerable corals fight heat stress
In a relatively short space of time, perovskite solar cells have become a highly promising candidate when it comes to how we might generate electricity in the future, but there are some design problems to overcome first. These largely relate to stabili… Continue reading “Molecular glue” strengthens the weak point in perovskite solar cells
The accumulation of plaque inside the arteries can be an insidious condition with grave consequences that include blood clots and strokes, but luckily it does give off some tell-tale signs. Researchers in the UK have developed a new type of glowing pro… Continue reading Glowing probe lights up the signs of cardiovascular trouble
One of the problems with our ongoing shift toward renewable energy relates to the way we store it, with today’s metal-laden lithium batteries currently serving us well but carrying sustainability issues of their own. Scientists are investigating altern… Continue reading Organic, metal-free battery breaks down in acid for recycling
Scientists in South Korea have achieved a major milestone in physics – and one pursued by researchers in the field for decades – by generating a record-breaking ultra-high intensity laser. The pulse intensity of over 1023 W per cm sq is the result of a… Continue reading Scientists generate the highest-intensity laser pulses ever recorded
Ferrari has introduced a new version of its V12 supercar based on the 812 Superfast, which simultaneously sheds a little weight and beefs up output to a maximum 610 kW while revving to a formidable, though not quite Murray T.50 level, 9,500 rpm.Continu… Continue reading Ferrari 812 Competizione V12 supercar screams its way to 9,500rpm
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have taken inspiration from flat-packed furniture to reimagine the way pasta is created, developing a flat form of the food that morphs into conventional shapes as it boils. By taking this approach to past… Continue reading Sustainable flat-packed pasta morphs into shape as it cooks
Following a series of impressive yet explosive attempts to bring down its giant spaceship built for interplanetary travel, SpaceX has today successfully landed its Starship prototype without exploding for the first time. The achievement is a major one … Continue reading SpaceX successfully lands its massive Starship for the first time
By turning modern scientific tools on an antibiotic discovered 70 years ago, researchers have unearthed a previously unknown mechanism it uses to pierce and pop superbugs like balloons. Promisingly, the scientists have also demonstrated how this approa… Continue reading Last-resort antibiotic found to pop superbugs like balloons
Portland toolmaker The James Brand has a catalogue brimming with elegant knives and multitools, and the latest addition takes this degree of sophistication up a few notches – with a price tag to match. The company describes its newly introduced Barnes … Continue reading $600 Barnes folding knife has a body made from a single bar of titanium
