Solar sector still growing: Solar power output rose 47% in the first three quarters of 2017, highlighting Trump’s support for clean power
Two major solar power plants – Switch Station 1 and Switch Station 2 – which generate a total of 179 megawatts of solar power, recently began commercial operations on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property in southern Nevada. This development brings home the fact that solar power is still booming in the United States even […]

Researchers have designed a new solar device that may finally make hydrogen cars a reality
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have crafted a device that can utilize solar energy to effectively and cheaply create and store energy, which could then be used to power electronic devices, and to harness hydrogen fuel for environmentally-friendly cars. The device allows for inexpensive hydrogen vehicles because it can produce hydrogen using […]

Playing nice keeps us all safer: By working together, Russia, China and the U.S. could thwart hypersonic missile development globally, reducing risk of war
A new report issued by Santa Monica, California-based nonprofit global policy think tank RAND Corp. suggested that despite their differences, Russia, China, and the United States should band together to get rid of an impending security threat – the emergence of hypersonic missiles across the three powerful nations. Hypersonic missiles, which include both hypersonic cruise […]

Mother Nature’s amazing tech: Researchers studied dandelions to develop new parachutes, drones
The science behind how dandelions scatter their seeds is carefully being studied by researchers in biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and microfabrication at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, lending them information into the physics of parachutes and giving them ideas on how to design small drones or micro air vehicles. The researchers gave the answer as to why […]

New tattoo-like wearable sensor detects alcohol levels in sweat, sends updates to smartphone for private use
Engineers that are closely working with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) have created a small monitoring device, worn on the skin, that identifies alcohol levels in perspiration. The new wearable monitor has the incentive of being non-invasive and unseen by other people, making it more applicable in settings where one would […]

Robot-controlled vehicles could soon be restocking military front lines with ammo, food, fuel
The British Army has conducted an initial test of its new line of robotic vehicles during a scheduled exercise in Michigan in the United States. Driverless robotic all-terrain 4x4s were run by unseen British soldiers using Xbox controllers as the Ministry of Defence told the public on Tuesday, November 14 that it will join the […]

Engineers have developed a sensor that can be “printed” onto plant leaves to indicate when they need water
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed sensors that can be implanted in plant leaves so that it would be easier for humans to identify whether they are in need of water. Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs professor of chemical engineering at MIT and the senior author of the study, says this […]

That’s hot: New self-regulating nanoparticles heat up to kill cancer cells, then cool before harming healthy tissue
Scientists from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England have given rise to “intelligent” nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature that is high enough to eradicate carcinogenic cells but which then control themselves and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. This breakthrough is seen as a way to treat […]

Reducing unnecessary surgeries: New tech identifies lesions most likely to develop into breast cancer
Thousands of women each year subject themselves to painful and invasive surgeries to get rid of breast lesions which turn out to be benign, defeating the purpose of the surgeries in the first place. To avoid occurrences of these unnecessary surgeries, scientists are working on making current detection and diagnostic tools more effective and accurate. […]

Paving the way to faster power: Scientists discover adding asphalt to lithium-ion batteries makes them charge up to 20 times faster
Lithium batteries that are made from asphalt have the capability of charging 10 to 20 times faster than commercial lithium-ion batteries, effectively charging a phone in just five minutes, a new study reveals. Researchers at Rice University in Houston, Texas are looking at replacing lithium-ion batteries with lithium-air and lithium metal batteries coupled with an unlikely ingredient […]
