Sound can do more than just provide a nice beat. Sound waves have been used for everything from mapping the seafloor to breaking apart kidney stones. Thanks to a unique material structure, researchers can now […]

Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere efficiently is often seen as a crucial need for combating climate change, but systems for removing carbon dioxide suffer from a tradeoff. Chemical compounds that efficiently remove CO₂ from […]

Offshore wind farms have the potential for large impacts on clean energy generation, as wind speeds are higher at sea than on land. However, this benefit comes at a high cost for marine life, which […]

Engineers have developed a water-based battery that could help Australian households store rooftop solar energy more safely, cheaply and efficiently than ever before.This post was originally published on this site

Public transit operators keep cities moving, helping people get to work, attend medical appointments and access essential services. But while passenger safety is often in the spotlight, the health and well-being of drivers who spend […]

When we think about renewable energy, images of sprawling solar farms or towering coastal wind turbines usually come to mind. Yet, there is a quieter, more compact option: a slender strip of material fluttering in […]

A new modeling technique discussed in the International Journal of Masonry Research and Innovation shows how building risks associated with land subsidence in The Netherlands can be determined.This post was originally published on this site

A team of scientists from the University of Melbourne and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) has made a discovery that could transform how metals are extracted and purified from crude metals and […]

A research team has developed a novel haptic device designed to enhance both safety and efficiency for workers in industrial settings. This research was recently published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. The […]

Fresh drinking water is a vital yet limited resource that will only grow scarcer over the next few years, according to the World Resources Institute. Desalination, the process of removing salt from water, is an […]
