New research from the University of Copenhagen points to a simple yet effective method for combating misinformation on social media: make it slightly harder to share content.This post was originally published on this site.
A globally cited statistic about the role of irrigation for food security that has formed foundational evidence for policy-making and scientific research is used on a hearsay basis and is based on weak evidence, according […]
Electrolyzers, devices that use electricity to drive desired chemical reactions, could enable the production of clean hydrogen (H2) gas from water (H2O) and the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful fuels or industrial chemicals. […]
A new study published in Environmental Research Letters finds that continued growth in artificial intelligence (AI) use across the United States could add approximately 900,000 tons of CO₂ annually. This is not a small amount […]
Third-generation solar cell technology is advancing rapidly. An engineering research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has achieved a breakthrough in the field of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs), focusing on addressing challenges […]
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled an innovative recycling technology capable of recovering more than 95% of nickel and cobalt from waste batteries with a purity exceeding 99%. This advanced method addresses the […]
As global electric vehicle adoption accelerates, end-of-life battery packs are quickly becoming a major waste stream. Lithium is costly to mine and refine, and most current recycling methods are energy- and chemical-intensive, often producing lithium […]
By using two propellers that rotate in opposite directions, a ship can use less energy to move forward. New knowledge means that more ships can use the technology, including Hurtigruten’s Sea Zero project for its […]
A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed an electronic sticker that can monitor a person’s vitamin C levels using the sweat from their fingertips—no blood draws, lab visits or […]
The world’s oceans are vital for life on Earth. Drifting phytoplankton provide almost half the oxygen released into the atmosphere. Marine and coastal ecosystems provide food and protect communities from storms.This post was originally published […]
