In 2020, Mexico joined 150 nations committing to protect 30% of its territory by 2030 as part of the global 30×30 initiative. More than halfway through the decade, there is ongoing debate about how to […]
Graphene is an exceptionally useful material for creating batteries, catalysts and electronic devices. Yet producing graphene typically requires temperatures as high as 900°C (1,652°F), limiting energy efficiency and making structural control difficult. To make graphene […]
Restaurants that go beyond simply allowing dogs on patios by offering dedicated menu items for them can significantly boost customer traffic, spending and word-of-mouth, according to new research from Toronto Metropolitan University.This post was originally […]
As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, the disposal of spent EV batteries is emerging as a major social and environmental challenge. Wastewater generated during conventional battery recycling processes can contain high […]
Refrigerators, air-conditioning systems and data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity, and cooling demand is constantly rising. A research team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Tsukuba in Japan is […]
Consumer sentiment dropped about 6% from last month, landing around 11% below a year ago amid continued worries that inflation will remain elevated for the foreseeable future, according to the University of Michigan Surveys of […]
A new study challenges one of the most deeply rooted assumptions in civil engineering: that using recycled materials in structural concrete inevitably means sacrificing strength. Researchers from Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral, in collaboration with […]
Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT make it easier for business owners to produce polished pitches, business plans and other communications, but according to new research from The University of Manchester and Canada’s University of […]
Lithium-ion batteries power transportation and grid storage and enable our digital lives, but these ubiquitous batteries require frequent recharging and can fail over time. To make batteries more reliable and longer-lasting, researchers are exploring how […]
Researchers from North Carolina State University have created teardrop-shaped soft robots that leap upward or forward when exposed to infrared light—and will keep jumping as long as the light is present. The work demonstrates a […]
