One of the problems with microplastics pollution is the fact that the plastic particles are very small, and thus difficult to trap or neutralize when widely dispersed in water. That’s why a new technique is being developed to eliminate them at their so… Continue reading New technique converts microplastics into CO2 and H2O
NASA’s Juno spacecraft will take a Cassini-like approach to exploring the Jovian system when it embarks on its latest mission extension in August later this year. Over the next four years the probe will make multiple passes of Jupiter’s rings and moons… Continue reading Juno to explore Jupiter’s rings and moons during new mission extension
It’s an unfortunate fact that many “cold chain” items such as food or medicine are shipped in single-use Styrofoam packaging, which is non-biodegradable and difficult to recycle. Such is not the case with a new material, however, which is made from dis… Continue reading Recyclable alternative to Styrofoam made from paper waste
The COVID-19 pandemic is largely to blame for a second consecutive year of decline in the number of new tall buildings built worldwide, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s (CTBUH) annual Year in Review. But it wasn’t without … Continue reading A bad year for big buildings: CTBUH’s Year in Review
Ebike maker Sondors is going bigger, faster and pedal-free with a striking electric motorcycle called the Metacycle that’s aimed at making electric motorcycling accessible for everyone.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Electric Moto… Continue reading Sondors rides into electric motorcycle world with $5,000 Metacycle
The gravitational waves we’ve detected so far have been like tsunamis in the spacetime sea, but it’s believed that gentle ripples should also pervade the universe. Now, a 13-year survey of light from pulsars scattered across the galaxy may have reveale… Continue reading Astronomers may have detected background ripples in spacetime itself
Usually when we talk about “cutting the cord,” it means disconnecting the cable or satellite feed from the TV and streaming content over Wi-Fi. But Russian startup Reasonance has bigger plans for TV cord cutting. The wireless TV prototype it showed at … Continue reading Prototype TV ditches the plug and powers up wirelessly
A novel proof-of-concept study is suggesting epigenetic biomarkers in a father’s sperm can potentially predict how susceptible their offspring will be to developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research is still in preliminary stages so requires… Continue reading Biomarkers in fathers’ sperm linked to autism risk in children
We’ve already heard about small flying or wheeled robots that cooperate on tasks by working in collaborative “swarms.” Harvard University researchers have now gone a step further, by developing tiny underwater robots that school together like fish.Cont… Continue reading Tiny schooling aquatic robots inspired by fish
Like a lot of other “smart” products, smart bike lights can sometimes be annoyingly complicated to operate. The Otto tail light is designed to be different, in that it does have some clever functions, but you just set it and forget it.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Smart bike light makes a point of keeping things simple
