Cars running on “clean” hydrogen one step closer – world’s fastest hydrogen sensor developed
The safe and effective use of flammable hydrogen gas as a source of energy depends on the capabilities of the sensor system. In response, Swedish researchers has come up with hydrogen sensors that run fast enough to hit the performance targets for hydrogen-powered vehicles of the future. Their optical nanosensor fits within a plastic-based capsule. […]

Understanding metallic glass: Scientists discover liquid metals form structures that help solidify metallic glasses
When you think of liquids, they usually don’t form structures that stop their atoms and molecules from flowing freely. But Yale researchers demonstrated that the right circumstances allow liquid metals to create the rigid shapes required by metallic glasses. Furthermore, they proposed that the structures formed by liquid metals might play a significant role in […]

Swiss startup invents higher-performance electric car battery that can leave Tesla batteries in the dust
A startup in the tiny mountainous country of Switzerland promises to deliver what electric car giant Tesla Motors has failed to pull off. Its new lithium-ion battery is said to store and produce far more power for vehicles than existing designs. Swiss company Innolith claims that an electric vehicle equipped with its lithium battery would […]

Bioengineers discover “breakthrough” technique: 3D-printed organs to be available in the next two decades
Additive manufacturing systems have come one step closer to printing out whole, working organs for emergency medical transplants. Researchers reported 3D printing a complete system of blood vessels found on a major organ. Every day, around 20 patients who desperately need an organ transplant die before ever getting one. There are not enough donors – […]

Researchers successfully generate electricity from “the coldness of the universe”: New technology could complement alternative energy sources like solar power
You’ve heard of all the ways to convert light or wind or heat into usable electricity. But have you ever thought that the coldness of the universe might serve as an alternative source of clean and renewable power? Most energy production systems get their power from somewhere. Solar panels collect light while wind turbines rely […]

Experts are looking to build a snakelike robot to save critically endangered rhinos
The critically endangered northern white rhino gets another shot at survival, thanks to California-based researchers who developed a snakelike machine that makes it easier to perform artificial insemination and embryo transfers on the creatures. The soft robot was a collaboration between the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and the San Diego Zoo. The northern white rhinoceros […]

Enhancing water harvesting efficiency: Researchers develop unique graphene foam that “harvests” water from air
Most water harvesting systems collect precipitation such as rain or water droplets from fog and other low-lying clouds. But a new device developed by Chinese researchers can get it directly from the atmosphere, provided there is sunlight. The new water collection system features nano-composite foam made from graphene. It relies on sunlight to power its processes, […]

Scientists use caffeine to give solar cells a unique energy boost
Caffeine helps boost the energy levels and mood of coffee drinkers. But did you know that it could also improve the performance of a new generation of solar panels? Researchers reported that coffee’s primary stimulant increased the efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells, an alternative approach to solar power. When bolstered by caffeine, perovskite solar panels […]

Cleaning up space debris: Researchers develop device to prevent space collisions
Earth’s orbit is getting so cluttered with space debris that researchers fear it will experience a disastrous Kessler syndrome event shortly. Their solution is a semi-autonomous system called OSCaR that will help clean up space debris. Named after the iconic Muppet character that lives in a trash can, the Obsolete Spacecraft Capture and Removal device […]

Preppers, take note: Graphene could be a low-cost water purifier
Need a cheap yet reliable way of purifying water without resorting to dangerous chemicals? Russian researchers have discovered the potential of graphene as a material for making water safe to drink. In their experiment, graphene treated water by trapping bacterial cells. The nano-material assembled into flakes that were easy to remove from the purified water. […]
