Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have set a record runtime with a new compressorless gas turbine. The burner, featuring a revolutionary pressure-gain combustion technology, operated for 303 seconds. This achievement not only exceeds […]
New research shows that short periods of extreme heat and drought during flowering could become one of the biggest threats to global wheat production in the coming decades. As the climate changes, farmers around the […]
Rutgers researchers have made a discovery that could change the future of seafood farming in New Jersey. A study led by marine scientist Daphne Munroe has shown that Atlantic surfclams can be successfully farmed in […]
High-altitude flight is getting increasing attention from sectors ranging from telecommunications to emergency response. To make that airspace more accessible, NASA is developing an air traffic management system covering those altitudes and supplementing its work […]
Over time, the loss of human expertise caused by AI use can impair the quality of that very AI—in the worst case, insidiously and unnoticed. This is the finding of a new study by researchers […]
The price of copper must at least double in order to spur the development of new copper mines to meet the world’s growing demand for the metal, according to a team led by a University […]
Researchers at McGill University have improved the efficiency of a method for converting human urine into clean energy. The method employs microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which use bacteria to turn organic waste into electricity, providing […]
What’s the key to growing resilient crops that can survive tough conditions? Researchers at the University of Missouri are getting to the root of it—literally. Researchers in the Walter Gassmann lab at Mizzou’s Bond Life […]
In the future, regional flights such as Trondheim-Oslo could become much more environmentally friendly with the help of a hybrid aircraft engine. This type of engine combines an electric motor and a combustion engine to […]
Fully customizable virtual companions or avatars—and even “digital clones” of deceased people or living ex-partners—are among the new possibilities that artificial intelligence is bringing to the love lives of humans. But the use of AI […]
