Read MoreDespite their best efforts, companies that have dedicated their research to improving the lives of Joe Public have appeared to fall behind. This is primarily due to the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the companies’ non-readiness for such a disaster. However, a company in the United States used it to their advantage, and […]
Read MoreThe South Korean government has announced a behemoth investment of $450 billion for the development of chip manufacturing plants as well as the expansion of existing ones. South Korea is home to leading chipmakers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two giants in the field. However, the country hasn’t stayed unaffected by the chip […]
Read MoreWater loss due to evaporation in water canals can be up to 7% of the total quantity of water flowing in a canal. What if, instead of letting the sun dry up canals, these canals are covered with solar panels? Researchers from the University of California Merced and University of California Santa Cruz just completed […]
Read MoreA group of notable Bitcoin holders in America has formed a ‘Mining Council’ in accordance with a decision taken during a meeting between leading miners and entrepreneur Elon Musk. This will be a council that will help promote energy usage transparency and will also encourage miners to use renewable forms of energy. This is a […]
Read MoreVery soon from now, exoskeletons will be able to determine by means of evidence and reasoning how to walk by themselves–all with the help of AI of course. The First-Gen Exoskeletons Up until very recently, humans still had to provide step-by-step instructions to prosthetics on the next action that had to be performed. Founding father […]
Read MoreNUDES, a Mumbai-based architecture firm has designed a solar mountain for Burning Man‘s 3,800-acre Fly Ranch in Nevada. Fly Ranch is home to several natural hot and cold springs, geysers, hundreds of acres of wetlands, and more than 100 types of plants. The solar mountain is designed with a motive to blend in with this […]
Read MoreBitcoin mining has proved not to be environmentally friendly. The process results in carbon emissions and high energy consumption. What Happens During Bitcoin Mining? In a nutshell, the Bitcoin mining process involves constantly running several powerful graphic cards at a high speed. The process verifies Bitcoin transactions in addition to creating them. Bitcoins are scarce […]
Read MoreThe British engineering giant, Rolls-Royce has announced that it has begun constructing the world’s largest aircraft engine- ‘UltraFan.’ After successfully developing the ‘Trent’ engine family, the company has made a start on the demonstrator for its new ‘UltraFan. They claim that it will “help redefine sustainable air travel for decades to come”. A step forward […]
Read MoreAnnealing is the process of heating a metal piece to increase its ductility and at the same time reduce its hardness, essentially making it more workable. However, during this process, atoms migrate in the crystal lattice, and the number of dislocations decreases, so the piece is undergoing permanent changes as it cools and fully recrystallizes. […]
Read MoreA team of scientists at Brown University in Rhode Island has developed a novel technique through which they can smash individual metal nanoclusters together and form larger bits of solid metal. This is very important because first, it gives metallurgists an unprecedented versatility to create whatever crystalline structures they want/need, and second, it empowers them […]
Read MoreDid you know that over 80% of ocean plastic ends up there from 1,000 rivers? Rivers pass through the land where polluting human activity takes place, and inevitably, carry waste to the sea. While the cleaning of the oceans remains crucially important, stopping the problem at its root is even more urgent. Meet the “Interceptor”, […]
Read MoreTen U.S. Army bases including the Nellis Air Force Base are going to take part in the pilot testing of 5G tech for military purposes, and the officials are already counting the endless potential deployment and usability scenarios. 5G has arrived in the United States and it’s being rolled out globally, so it’s not a […]
Read MoreResearchers at MIT have created a shoe coating that can increase friction between the shoe and the ground. Inspired by snakeskin, these shoes can potentially reduce the risk of falling on ice and other slippery surfaces. As per WHO records, falls are the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide. Additionally, adults […]
Read MoreThe Apple Watch was at first thought to be a replacement for your smartphone, but through the years, it has become a different breed of a smart gadget. Thanks to the plethora of sensors it possesses, the Apple Watch is mostly marketed as a fitness device, but in recent years it also became a potent […]
Read MoreFor years, researchers have pursued the technology for a better flow battery for the power grid that could lead to affordable storage of renewable power. In a flow battery, two liquids, one with a positive electrical charge and another having a negative electrical charge, are separated by a membrane. The membrane allows electrons to pass […]
Read MoreConsidering the need to take a strict action against climate change and with the intention to place London as one of the world’s leading environmentally friendly cities, London’s historic “Square Mile” district has announced plans to source 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by October 2018. To achieve this goal, the city’s governing […]
