There are many parts of the world in which fresh water may be plentiful, but it’s also full of harmful microbes. An experimental new filter is able to purify such water for drinking, and it’s powered solely by sunlight.Continue ReadingCategory: Good Th… Continue reading Sun-powered water filter excels at killing pathogens
It’s possible that someday in the future, sunlight-powered robots may be able to swim across marine oil spills, soaking up the oil as they go. A tiny functioning prototype has already been created, and it was inspired by both the steam engine and an in… Continue reading Water-strider-inspired robot may one day clean up oil spills
As sunlight passes through a building’s windows it can cause indoor temperatures to rise, to the point that the structure’s power-hungry air conditioning system has to be used. A new switchable window material, however, blocks incoming heat while remai… Continue reading Switchable window material stays clear while blocking the sun’s heat
Virtually any camper provides a tabletop on which to plant a laptop, but the pandemic-fueled rise of the digital nomad has led to demand for a more capable breed of mobile living and working solution. RV manufacturers have gradually responded with moto… Continue reading Sunlight home office RV streamlines the digital nomad lifestyle
Sunlight launches its Sunlight Infrastructure Manager (SIM) and Marketplace to make it simple to deploy and manage infrastructure and applications in highly distributed Edge environments as well as in the Cloud – enabling true Edge ‘Software as a… Continue reading Sunlight Infrastructure Manager and Marketplace simplifies deployment of apps in edge environments
On the scale of things worth worrying about, having to consider whether your EPROMs will be accidentally erased by some stray light in the shop is probably pretty low on …read more Continue reading Just How Vulnerable to Accidental Erasure are EPROMs Anyway?
Ironically, many of the places that most require water purification have the least-developed infrastructure. That’s where a new filtration device comes in, as it’s activated by the sun – and it’s said to perform better than other solar-powered purifica… Continue reading Spongey filter releases purified lake water when set in the sun
If you worked in a dingy, windowless environment, it would be nice (and energy-efficient) if you could get natural daylight “piped in” from outside. An experimental device does exactly that, in a new compact and robust form.Continue ReadingCategory: Go… Continue reading Sunlight-concentrating ball illuminates dark places
Sunlight announced NVIDIA GPU support for Sunlight NexVisor, its lightweight hypervisor providing near bare-metal performance with a compact footprint. Organizations can now unlock the full potential of hyperconverged infrastructure at the edge, maximi… Continue reading NVIDIA GPU now supports Sunlight NexVisor, moving AI to the edge
Real sunlight is a beautiful thing, but due to the vagaries of Earth’s orbit and local weather systems, it’s not available all the time. [Matt] decided this wasn’t good enough, and set about building a rig to replicate the sun’s rays as closely as possible.
The great distance between the …read more
