Even though it’s vitally important for people in impoverished nations to check drinking water sources for pollutants, they often lack the facilities for performing such tests. A new system could help, as it uses a smartphone camera to check up on tiny … Continue reading Smartphones used to check water for pollutants – by tracking paramecia
If there are two things that are essential to human life, they’re water and oxygen – neither of which are easily available on the moon. Thanks to a new technique, though, astronauts may someday be able to harvest those elements from lunar soil.Continue… Continue reading Future astronauts may be able to pull water and oxygen from lunar soil
Although they’re far from the cheapest way to enjoy some time in the water, electric hydrofoil boards are gaining in popularity as more and more models enter the scene. But some are easier to ride than others. The newly introduced Level Board is very m… Continue reading World-first hydrofoil board uses flight computer for on-water stability
The James Dyson Award is an international competition to recognize and encourage engineering students to get creative to solve some of the most pressing problems facing the world. The national finalists from 28 regions have been announced for 2021, ahe… Continue reading Braille eBooks and mask recyclers among James Dyson Award finalists
It makes up more than half of the human body and covers around 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, but there is still a lot we don’t understand about water. By using cutting-edge tools to study microscopic jets of the liquid, scientists have spotted wat… Continue reading First observations of a “quantum tug” help unravel the weirdness of water
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere attracts most of the attention in environmental concerns, but much of that ends up in oceans, making them more acidic. Now scientists have created “nanojars” that can easily capture this and other pollutants from water…. Continue reading “Nanojars” capture carbon dioxide dissolved in water
NASA’s Curiosity rover has been exploring Gale crater for nine years, and the sediments it’s been studying look an awful lot like those left behind from an ancient lake. But now new research from the University of Hong Kong proposes a much drier explan… Continue reading Curiosity might not have landed in a lake after all, says new model
