Is the water safe? The state of critical infrastructure cybersecurity

On September 25, CISA issued a stark reminder that critical infrastructure remains a primary target for cyberattacks. Vulnerable systems in industrial sectors, including water utilities, continue to be exploited due to poor cyber hygiene practices. Using unsophisticated methods like brute-force attacks and leveraging default passwords, threat actors have repeatedly managed to compromise operational technology (OT) […]

Cold-plunge tub chills water – and users – without ice or refrigerants

Although hot tubs may get all the glory, cold-plunge tubs are the ones that really help reduce muscle inflammation and soreness after exercise. The Snowcap tub makes that process more doable than ever, by chilling water without using any ice or refrige… Continue reading Cold-plunge tub chills water – and users – without ice or refrigerants

Solar still made of old tires purifies 15 cups of water per day

Scientists in Canada have demonstrated a promising new device that can purify a gallon of water a day, for just a few cents per gallon. Better yet, it’s made of old tires, and can even generate small amounts of electricity.Continue ReadingCategory: Env… Continue reading Solar still made of old tires purifies 15 cups of water per day

Portable device spots drought-stressed crops before it’s too late

It’s always best if farmers can detect drought stress before crop plants become wilted, weakened and lower-yielding. An experimental new portable device could help in that regard, as it uses ultrasound to spot such stress in its earliest stages.Continu… Continue reading Portable device spots drought-stressed crops before it’s too late

Watch: First nanoscale video of hydrogen and oxygen atoms forming water

We all know the equation – hydrogen plus oxygen equals water. But now scientists have captured molecular-scale video of that famous meeting in action, which could lead to a new way to generate large amounts of drinking water.Continue ReadingCategory: S… Continue reading Watch: First nanoscale video of hydrogen and oxygen atoms forming water
