French researchers claim to have created metallic hydrogen in a lab: Material can “conduct electricity indefinitely at room temperature”
Metallic hydrogen is a state of hydrogen wherein the element is able to conduct electricity. Scientists have spent close to a century attempting to create this material. A team of French researchers now claim that they’ve done it. Normally, hydrogen isn’t a great conductor. However, physicists since the 1930s have suspected that if hydrogen were to be […]

Electric scooters shouldn’t be treated as toys: Face and head injuries caused by the motorized scooters have TRIPLED, warn researchers
Scientists are now warning people to exercise caution when using electric scooters, as the number of injuries caused by them is rising, due in part to their treatment as a toy rather than a means of transportation, but also due to the lack of safety regulations concerning their use. In the US alone, over 32,000 people […]

Clever “Flying-V” plane design is more fuel-efficient than today’s most advanced aircraft
The Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, in partnership with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, is working on an innovative airplane design known as the “Flying-V,” which — its creators claim — uses 20 percent less fuel thanks to its unique, two-pronged configuration. Flaring diagonally backwards from its nose to create the V-shape, the airplane has the same wingspan as existing […]
