This new study from the University of Warwick is now looking into a plastic-like substitute that could help change the future, one where this polluting material would be replaced and no longer pose a threat to the planet. For many years, plastic waste has soared exponentially, and it is a material that takes years to…
Scientists at MIT have successfully designed a miniature device that can handle cells and particles, just like the old “tractor beam” in Star Wars. This new chip-based technology can help make a difference in studying DNA, cell identification, and the exploration of various diseases. Silicon Photonics: The Backbone of This Device Tractor Beam Commonly seen…
A series of severe environmental crises in the oceans, spanning 185 to 85 million years ago, significantly altered the course of evolution on Earth. This “tag-team” between the oceans and continents had devastating consequences for marine life and left a lasting impact on our planet’s biological history. Oceanic Anoxic Events: The Trigger for Mass Extinctions…
A strategic partnership between Kronos Advanced Technologies and Yasheng Group aims to propel the United States to the forefront of nuclear battery technology. The duo’s joint venture seeks to develop a Nickel-63 nuclear battery capable of powering devices for up to 50 years without recharging.

Antimatter’s foundational particles can now reportedly be better-understood thanks to a new study that cools down such particles faster for easier control and better property observance. Researchers have extensive knowledge of electrons, protons, neutrons, and other subatomic particles that make up matter, yet studying the particles responsible for antimatter, an enigmatic cousin of matter, is…
It is an exciting month of August for fans of the night sky and space as there will be three meteor showers that will manifest from the cosmos, and it will also be filled with massive appearances from other heavenly bodies. The entire month would see a spectacle brought by the cosmic entities that will…
Valeriya Azarova, an expert in energy and climate economics, discusses strategies for increasing public and business confidence in decarbonization initiatives. Decarbonization measures are increasingly proving to be smart investments as the impacts of climate change become more visible around us. This reality has sparked growing interest in climate solutions from both businesses and individuals who…
Whenever body armor comes to mind, we expect it to be heavy and inconvenient. However, there is a lightweight variant that makes use of 2D polymer material that is stronger than steel but as flexible as fabric. If you have this chainman mail-inspired armor, you might feel that your movements are very light—thanks to the…
Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system has emerged as a vital lifeline for the UAE’s Emirati field hospital in Gaza, enabling critical medical consultations and communications despite the region’s devastated infrastructure. This cutting-edge technology has empowered medical teams in Gaza to connect with world-renowned specialists and consultants, offering hope and life-saving care in a war-torn…
