Scientists have developed new semiconductors that are more environmentally friendly
Concerned with the prevalence of useful but toxic perovskites in photovoltaic cells, a group of Iowa-based researchers devised alternative materials. They reported creating cheaper and eco-friendly semiconductors with similar performance, according to a ScienceDaily article. Perovskites are light-gathering materials used as semiconductors in solar panels. While highly efficient – called “wonder materials” by the solar […]

ESA tests air-breathing electric thruster that would allow orbiting satellites to stay in space indefinitely
The European Space Agency (ESA) has developed an electric thruster that gathers air from the atmosphere to use as propellant. Satellites and other spacecraft can use this new propulsion system to stay in orbit around Earth – or other planets like Mars – forever, according to an article on Space.com. Satellites can change or maintain […]

Praise for the proton: Latest battery breakthrough may free us from lithium ion
We may finally be on the verge of a true alternative to costly lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare earth metals. Australian researchers recently debuted the first working example of a carbon-based rechargeable proton battery, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to the RMIT University (RMIT) research team, their proton battery works in tandem […]

Agriculture robot watches crops grow, providing data, analyses in real-time
A new crop phenotyping robot can take over the tedious task of watching over growing crops. The autonomous agricultural robot can analyze plants and transmit its findings in real-time, according to an article in ScienceDaily. Developed by a University of Illinois (U. of I.) research team, TerraSentia is 13 inches wide and weighs only 24 pounds. It is light […]

New portable treatment technique could save wounded combat soldiers from amputations
Thanks to a new portable medical kit devised by Scottish researchers, U.K. soldiers with badly injured limbs will have a much better chance at avoiding amputations, reported The National. The pioneering system traces its roots to a study conducted by Strathclyde University (Strathclyde) into injuries sustained by U.K. armed forces personnel from improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Armed with that […]

The solar energy industry is exploding with new technologies, including “solar paint”
Solar power has come a long way from when Bell Labs presented the first photovoltaic cell in 1954. Researchers are brainstorming all kinds of ways to improve the collection of solar energy, reported Green America. For example, Los Angeles-based startup Sunflare has developed solar panels that are incredibly thin, flexible, and light. They replaced the traditional silicon […]

Scientists design a new spacecraft, called a HAMMER, to carry nukes to incoming asteroids that threaten Earth
U.S. researchers and engineers are designing a new spacecraft that can either ram hazardous asteroids away from Earth or nuke them into oblivion, reported a ScienceDirect article. They chose to name it HAMMER for obvious reasons. HAMMER stands for Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response. Each unmanned vehicle is expected to weigh around eight tons, which is less than the old Apollo spacecraft or […]
