Rethink satellite production: Using affordable, sustainable materials can minimize space junk and address engineering problems
Space is for everyone – that is to say, everyone at the lead of the space race who can afford large satellites and the rockets to put them in space. But researchers suggest that changing the way satellites are built and deployed could solve a lot of problems, including the issue of space junk. The […]

Study: Different forms of titanium oxide significantly boost perovskite solar cell performance
Researchers are constantly looking for ways to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells while also reducing their price tags. A Japanese team focused on two different forms of titanium oxide, which promised to increase the amount of sunlight that gets turned into energy while also being cheaper and eco-friendly than earlier photovoltaic cells. Perovskite-based […]

Green and insulating: Researchers develop sustainable fireproofing materials from waste paper
Swiss researchers found a hot new purpose for waste paper products. They developed a chemical process that can turn paper into a fireproof insulator. Their new method would reduce the need for insulation materials that depend on the availability of dwindling petroleum supplies. When it catches fire, wood eventually crumbles into ash. But the recycled paper fiber product maintained […]

Researchers develop unique 3D-printed cube that harvests ambient energy from cell phones and modems
Saudi researchers recently presented a cube-shaped device that could gather ambient energy from active electronic devices. The new energy harvester could be manufactured using a 3D printer, making it cheap and easy to produce in large numbers. The cube offered a way to provide power to the increasing number of smart devices that were often linked together to form an Internet […]

Tiny disorganized crystals may hold the key to new magnesium battery energy storage technology
Magnesium-based energy storage systems are heralded as the most likely successor to lithium-ion batteries. A recent discovery involving disordered nanoparticles of magnesium chromium oxide could further increase the already considerable amount of energy that can be stored by magnesium batteries. Researchers from the University College London (UCL) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) developed […]

New research simplifies the process of harvesting solar energy to generate fuels
Harvesting hydrogen gas from water is going to be a much cheaper process thanks to the findings of New York-based researchers. They found a way to make the water splitting process much simpler, which could increase the overall efficiency of hydrogen fuel production and save on expended catalysts. As its name implies, water splitting is a method where the […]

Bangkok to deploy drones to combat air pollution
Most governments used aerial drones to spy on citizens or bomb insurgents. However, the Thai government launched a dozen drones into the skies over Bangkok to fight a far more insidious foe: Air pollution. The concentrations of toxic particulate matter in the air of Thailand’s biggest and most populous city were not yet as bad […]

U.K. airport introduces a fleet of valet-parking robots
Machines will soon be taking over the jobs of human valets at a major international airport in southeast England. Gatwick Airport recently announced that it is testing a number of valet parking robots for future deployment, making it the first U.K. facility to operate a fleet of the autonomous machines. Airport official explained that the robots […]

Release the hounds: Are four-legged robot “dogs” the future of package delivery?
A German robotics company came up with an automated package delivery system that sounds rather like a Decepticon from “Transformers.” Their concept showed a driver-less vehicle that will transport a Swiss-designed quadrupedal robot to the customer’s location. The robot “dog” will disembark from its ride and deliver the package. The company, Continental, designed an automated delivery […]

Robots now capable of inspecting aircraft… are we going to lose more jobs to machines?
Aircraft inspection is joining the ranks of human jobs that will one day be taken over by robots. The herald of this takeover is the Swedish-designed Vortex Robot, the prototype of which has just recently succeeded in clambering onto an airplane like a mechanical spider that looks for any problem on the varied surfaces of the vehicle. […]
