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
In my teenage years I worked for a couple of summers at a small amusement park as a ride operator. Looking back on it, the whole experience was a lot …read more Continue reading Mining and Refining: Graphite
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
Methane has a greenhouse effect 80 times worse than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, and emissions are skyrocketing even as we start reducing CO2. That makes UCF’s new hydrocarbon-capturing, sunlight-powered catalyst a very compelling idea.Continu… Continue reading Solar catalyst captures methane to create pure hydrogen and carbon
Although HEPA filters and ultraviolet lighting systems are effective at neutralizing bacteria in hospitals, homes and other settings, they do have their drawbacks. A new light-activated material known as LumaFlo, however, is claimed to have them both b… Continue reading Light-activated antibacterial foil claimed to outperform HEPA filters
When someone mentions waves, we are most likely to think of the beach and surfers riding breaks to shore, not the waves deep beneath the ocean’s surface. Now, new research has shed light on the important role underwater waves play in climate change.Con… Continue reading Underwater turbulence revealed as a key factor in climate change
Bacteria often get a bad rap, but in many cases they’re helpful little critters. Engineers have now developed a protective coating for buildings that’s loaded with bacteria, which absorb CO2 to produce a barrier against erosion by the elements.Continue… Continue reading Bacteria-based coating protects distillery buildings from the elements
In the midst of the pandemic in 2021, we were throwing out three million face masks per minute. Scientists sounded the alarm early, but the response to cope has seen a lot end up in our waterways.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Nanotechnology, O… Continue reading Safe upcycle of pandemic plastics creates lucrative nanotechnology
