Chinese tech giant launches DRIVERLESS taxis in Beijing
Chinese tech giant Baidu rolled out a fleet of driverless taxis in Beijing on Sunday, May 2, becoming the first firm to commercialize autonomous driving in China. Unlike previous demonstrations, there is no human driver behind the wheel as the autonomous cars, called Apollo Go Robotaxis, ferry passengers in Shougang Park in west Beijing. Instead, a safety engineer […]

Solar-powered desalination device vaporizes seawater to produce safe drinking water
Researchers developed a solar-powered desalination device that vaporizes saltwater to produce potable water. The unit works thanks to a titanium-based material that captures solar energy and powers evaporation. Made of a special type of paper coated with a compound called titanium nitride oxide, the material heats rapidly and vaporizes water when exposed to the sun. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and […]

New blood filtering system claims to use magnetic nanoparticles to remove pathogens
Researchers designed a new blood filtration system that uses magnetic nanoparticles to remove pathogens and cancer cells from the blood. Called MediSieve, the system works by connecting a patient to the same machine used for hemodialysis. As blood passes through the machine, magnetic particles selectively bind to harmful molecules present in the blood. The researchers are currently testing the […]

Inspired by spiders and fire ants, researchers develop a new unsinkable metal
Researchers from the University of Rochester have developed an extremely buoyant metal that can be used to make unsinkable ships. The researchers have drawn inspiration from fire ants and diving bell spiders, which have the remarkable ability to remain afloat or survive underwater for long periods of time. These creepy-crawlies are able to do this by trapping […]

Plant-based “vaccine” uses herbs to activate the immune system against the coronavirus, without the blood clot risk
Canadian company Medicago has developed a plant-based vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). The two-dose vaccine uses virus-like particles (VLP) grown in a tobacco shrub to confer immunity against COVID-19. VLPs are molecules that closely resemble a virus. They are not infectious since they do not contain genetic material. Vaccines that use VLPs train the immune system to recognize a virus […]

NASA to co-develop satellites that can identify air pollution sources
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) joined a project that would develop special satellites that could identify air pollution “super emitters.” NASA said in a statement on April 15 that its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California would be providing an instrument that would be built into the satellites. Carbon Mapper, the nonprofit leading the project, aims to use the satellites to provide […]

The Pentagon paid scientist to develop “trans-medium” military craft after fears that China already has UFO technology
The Department of Defense paid Air Force scientist Salvatore Pais to develop a “trans-medium” military craft modeled after unidentified flying objects (UFO) that can operate both in air and underwater. The Pentagon funded the project out of concern that China might already have advanced UFO technology at its disposal. Pais was formerly an aerospace engineer for the Naval Air Systems […]

Novel electric motor brings electric passenger airplanes a step closer to reality
Minnesota startup H3X says it has developed an electric aircraft motor that is three times more powerful and weighs considerably less than commercially available motors. The firm notes that it is currently focused on bringing the motor to smaller, less regulated industries, such as those for cargo drones and air taxis, but adds that its long-term goal is to electrify passenger […]

Electric vehicle charging station in Scotland gets its electricity from tidal power
An electric vehicle charging station that runs on tidal energy went online this week. Made by Scottish energy company Nova Innovation, the charging point is located in the isle of Yell in Shetland, an archipelago of roughly 100 islands. The station gets its power supply from Nova’s Shetland Tidal Array, a four-turbine installation in the strait of Bluemull Sound between Yell […]
