The supercapacitor is an extremely promising energy storage technology, and though they have yet to reach parity with the best batteries in terms of energy density, offers considerable promise for …read more Continue reading A Supercapacitor From Mushrooms
Carbon, an experimental programming language, entered TIOBE’s top 100 ranking in February. Continue reading TIOBE Index News (February 2024): Programming Language Go Reaches a New High at Number Eight
For many people who live in places that get “real” winters, barbecuing is an activity that simply gets put on hold once the snow flies. The Grill-X was designed with that fact in mind, as it reportedly brings a charcoal flavor to foods grilled indoors…. Continue reading Grill-X aims to put a charcoal(ish) barbecue in your kitchen
It might seem a little bit counterintuitive, but one of the more carbon-neutral ways of heating one’s home is by burning wood. Since the carbon for the trees came out …read more Continue reading Feeding The Fire by Robot
Researchers have developed a new, lightweight foam made from carbon nanotubes that, when used as a helmet liner, absorbed the kinetic energy caused by an impact almost 30 times better than liners currently used in US military helmets. The foam could pr… Continue reading Novel helmet liner 30 times better at stopping concussions
Cannondale has dissected the DNA of its Synapse road bike to create a tasty carbon-framed “commuter bike that would make a pro cyclist smile.” The Tesoro Neo Carbon ebike is a Europe-only release, and rides out with Bosch power.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Cannondale launches Bosch-powered carbon-framed commuter ebike

RFID tags are great little pieces of technology, but unfortunately, the combination of paper, metal, and silicon means they are as bad as some modern pregnancy tests — single-use electronic …read more Continue reading Paperless RFID Tags Are Carbon-Based
Our Sun is capable of some truly terrifying outbursts – and now scientists have discovered evidence of its biggest tantrum on record. Tree rings dating back around 14,000 years contain a radiocarbon spike twice as powerful as the previous biggest known… Continue reading Tree rings reveal evidence of most powerful solar storm on record
The best places in our solar system to search for life beyond Earth aren’t planets like Mars – they’re icy moons like Europa. The case for life on this watery world just got stronger, as the James Webb Space Telescope has detected a fresh carbon source… Continue reading James Webb spots carbon on Europa, boosting case for life
