Scientists have pinpointed crucial genetic resistance to a fungal disease that threatens the global banana supply in a wild subspecies of the fruit. In a valuable step forward for banana breeding programs, Dr. Andrew Chen […]
Researchers at Kogakuin University have discovered that adding phosphorus (P2O5) to sodium-yttrium-silicate glasses significantly enhances their performance as solid electrolytes for next-generation sodium-ion batteries. This improvement arises from the formation of the high-performance Na5YSi4O12 crystal […]
Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial emissions. The solar cells in […]
The EU is expected to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. How far along is it? “At its core, we simply don’t know. We have a good picture of the supply side—how quickly wind turbines are […]
Combining wind turbines with wave, solar and tidal devices on shared platforms reduces construction costs, improves stability and generates more reliable power, according to researchers from the University of Surrey. The comprehensive review examined hybrid […]
Due to cheaper cost, ease of production and environmental benefits, battery makers and electric vehicle manufacturers have long pursued dry processes for building electrodes. A new dry-processed electrode architecture from the University of Chicago Pritzker […]
Restaurants looking for new ways to engage and inform customers may benefit from incorporating augmented reality (AR) technology into their menus, according to new research from Washington State University. The study, published in the International […]
Would you ever kick your Roomba? Or leave a scathing review of the robot at a Thai restaurant who delivered your green curry? What about sending a mean message to ChatGPT?This post was originally published […]
Self-driving cars have made impressive progress. They can follow lanes, keep their distance, and navigate familiar routes with ease. However, despite years of development, they still struggle with one critical problem: the rare and dangerous […]
For anyone who relies on coffee to start their day, coffee wilt disease may be the most important disease you’ve never heard of. This fungal disease has repeatedly reshaped the global coffee supply over the […]
