Collaborate Disseminate
Researchers have created an unusual new alloy made up of not two, but five different metals, and put it to work as a catalyst. The new material is two-dimensional, and was able to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide effectively, potentially hel… Continue reading New five-metal alloy makes for 2D catalyst to convert CO2 into fuels
A team of NASA scientists may have resolved a mystery surrounding disappearing methane on Mars, that was detectable by NASA’s Curiosity rover but absent in readings taken by an orbiting ESA spacecraft. The tiny amounts of methane detected by the rover … Continue reading NASA scientists may have solved a vanishing methane mystery on Mars
What happens when a manufacturer of three-wheeled EVs teams up with a maker of super-fast electric motorcycles? Well, in the case of a new collaboration between Arcimoto and Lightning Motorcycles, plans call for the result to be the world’s fastest tilting three-wheeled motorcycle.

The latest model from Build Tiny, Scotty The Tiny House, was designed for a client with an architect in the family, meaning that the firm was provided with drawings showing exactly what was needed. That turned out to be a tiny house with a focus on sto… Continue reading Compact tiny house offers well-stocked kitchen and lots of storage
Engineers at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have developed a new type of thermoelectric generator that produces an electric current through a temperature gradient. By absorbing heat from the Sun on one surface and emitting it f… Continue reading Thermoelectric generator contrasts heat of Sun and cold of space
Yersinia pestis is a bacteria most famous for its role in the bubonic plague that devastated Europe, Asia and North Africa in the 1300s, an event known as the Black Death that killed as much as half of Europe’s population. Researchers have now found th… Continue reading Earliest strain of the plague traced to a 5,000-year-old hunter-gatherer
We are seeing a lot exciting advances being made in the world of eco-friendly plastics, where forms of the material are being produced that safely break down in the environment in a few years or even months. While these are a decidedly green alternativ… Continue reading Compostable cutlery turned to foam in soda-inspired recycling process
Despite an abrupt and unscheduled ending to its six-seater test program, hydrogen aviation pioneer ZeroAvia is ramping up development of the largest fuel-cell-powered aircraft to date – a pair of 19-seaters – and is preparing for something much bigger…. Continue reading ZeroAvia presses ahead with two hydrogen-powered 19-seat aircraft
After years of preclinical work, Japanese researchers have announced a new kind of drug treatment for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is ready to move to human clinical trials. A number of animal studies have shown the novel drug to improve cognition and reduce signs of neurodegeneration in a number of dementia-causing diseases.

Detecting gravitational waves from collisions between two black holes or two neutron stars is becoming almost mundane, but now astronomers have detected the final piece of the trifecta – a black hole swallowing a neutron star. Two separate events rolle… Continue reading Gravitational wave trifecta completed as black holes eat neutron stars
