About 66 million years ago, a gigantic object crashed into the Earth, triggering a mass extinction that took out the dinosaurs. Now, scientists from Southwest Research Institute say they’ve traced the culprit back to its point of origin, identifying it… Continue reading Dinosaur-killing rock traced to population of “dark primitive asteroids”
Many might be familiar with their smartphones or other electronic devices losing the charge over time, but the lithium-ion batteries that power them actually forego a sizable chunk of their capacity before they even get started. This is caused by impur… Continue reading Inventor of lithium batteries creates a coating to boost their capacity
As more and more research highlights the role our body’s internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, may have in everything from developing dementia, to driving weight gain to promoting tumor growth, scientists are getting creative in their attempts… Continue reading Can a blood test reveal the time on the body’s internal clock?
Research groups and startups the world over are working to take nuclear fusion from a fanciful concept to a practical, zero-carbon means of producing practically infinite electricity, and one such team in Washington has just taken a significant step fo… Continue reading Helion Energy’s next-gen fusion facility steps up pursuit of clean power
It’s getting harder and harder to justify spending a grand or more on a phone when the budget and midrange models are becoming so good. Doogee has now unveiled its latest entry-level phone, the N40 Pro, which packs pretty high-end specs into a low-cost… Continue reading Doogee’s latest low-cost leather-bound phone lasts three days on a charge
Current plastic films do a great job of keeping food fresh while it sits on the supermarket shelf, but lately we’re seeing advanced forms of these materials that might play more than a passive role in preventing spoilage. A new “bioactive” material fro… Continue reading Bioactive plastic made with mango leaves protects food from bugs and UV
BioNTech, the pioneering mRNA company responsible for one of the world’s first COVID-19 vaccines, is now looking to develop an mRNA malaria vaccine. Working with the World Health Organization the company hopes to begin human clinical trials sometime ne… Continue reading After COVID-19 BioNTech turns its mRNA vaccine tech on malaria
At this year’s MAKS-21 air show outside Moscow, Sukhoi unveiled a mock-up of its latest fifth-generation fighter aircraft. Called the Checkmate SU-75, it is designed as an “inexpensive” rival to the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighte… Continue reading Sukhoi shows off Checkmate 5th-Gen fighter to compete with F-35
Some of the greatest mysteries in cosmology revolve around antimatter, and it’s hard to study because it’s rare and hard to produce in the lab. Now a team of physicists has outlined a relatively simple new way to create antimatter, by firing two lasers… Continue reading Laser pincers generate antimatter by recreating neutron star conditions
A first-of-its-kind 3D-printed concrete bridge has been unveiled in Venice, Italy. The bridge is a demonstration of a new 3D printing method resulting in a structure requiring no mortar or steel reinforcement.Continue ReadingCategory: Architecture, Lif… Continue reading World’s first unreinforced 3D-printed concrete bridge displayed in Venice
