Warp speed may be possible, but it will require huge amounts of energy
Faster-than-light, or superluminal, travel to other star systems using technology such as “warp speed” has long been the realm of science fiction. But a new study shows that this kind of travel may one day be possible; it will just take tremendous amounts of energy. American physicist Erik Lentz from the University of Gottingen in Germany is […]

Methanol fuel cells shown to provide higher efficiency than pure hydrogen
A new analysis shows that methanol fuel cells are more efficient at producing electricity than hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells use hydrogen – the most abundant element in the universe – to produce clean and efficient electricity to power cars, trucks, buses and ships, as well as even homes and businesses. Hydrogen is considered the cleanest […]

Elon Musk’s “futuristic” transit system in Las Vegas falls short of expectations
Elon Musk’s “futuristic” Las Vegas transit loop has received criticism for failing to live up to the serial entrepreneur’s lofty promises. The $55 million loop, which was built by Musk’s The Boring Company, promised to whisk passengers in driverless Tesla cars at speeds of up to 155 mph. This would turn a typically 15-minute-long-walk into […]

“Wearable microgrid” uses energy from the human body to power small gadgets
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have developed a “wearable microgrid” that’s able to utilize energy from the human body to power small electronic devices. In a paper published on March 9 in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that they drew inspiration from community microgrids. “We’re applying the concept of […]
