President Donald Trump announced a plan to build a missile defense system, called the Golden Dome, on May 20, 2025. The system is intended to protect the United States from ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles, […]

The risk of heavy rainfall and severe flooding increases with climate change. But property owners—regardless of size—often underestimate their own responsibility and are unaware of what preventive measures they can take themselves. In a new […]

Separating crude oil into products such as gasoline, diesel, and heating oil is an energy-intensive process that accounts for about 6% of the world’s CO2 emissions. Most of that energy goes into the heat needed […]

Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and Google Maps’ Street View images to glean more detailed information about buildings—such as their age and floor area.This post […]

A new artificial intelligence system pinpoints the origin of 3D printed parts down to the specific machine that made them. The technology could allow manufacturers to monitor their suppliers and manage their supply chains, detecting […]

Every day, millions of workers step onto construction sites—arguably some of the most hazardous environments in modern industry. Despite years of safety protocols, equipment upgrades, and training programs, construction continues to rank among the top […]

Batteries are becoming more and more powerful. A discovery by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg could now give them a significant energy boost.This post was originally published on this […]

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) offer high efficiency and low fabrication costs, making them strong candidates for next-generation photovoltaic technology. Printing techniques have become the preferred industrial pathway among available fabrication methods due to their compatibility […]

A Korean research team has developed a light-powered artificial muscle that operates freely underwater, paving the way for next-generation soft robotics.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have developed a new, easily manufacturable solid-state thermoelectric refrigeration technology with nano-engineered materials that is twice as efficient as devices made with commercially […]
