Can this device water an entire village?
For many people living in developing nations, easy access to clean water is an ever-present struggle. It’s estimated that 1.2 billion people in the world are living in areas where uncontaminated water is scarce, and the equipment needed for purifying it isn’t always available.
Defective diamonds pave the way for quantum computing
University of Oregon physicists have combined light and sound to control electron states in an atom-like system, providing a new tool in efforts to move toward quantum-computing systems.
Has the bridge between buckyballs and graphene been crossed?
The discovery of the soccer-ball-shaped molecule ‘buckminsterfullerene’ (or buckyball) in 1985 kick-started a revolution in carbon nanomaterials that continues today with research into extremely conductive graphene.
Solar flexes its muscles in Arizona
Arizona Public Service (APS) has become the first utility in the nation to deploy and control advanced solar technology remotely.
The cat is out of the bag on Google’s ‘secret’ radio transmitter
Outside Truth or Consequences, New Mexico in the sparsely populated, middle-of-nowhere area where Spaceport America is located, Google is planning to build a huge experimental radio transmitter, the purpose of which is apparently secret.
Venezuela in the midst of electricity shortages. Coming to a country near you.
The SHTF might be a lot more subtle than an EMP or a massive natural disaster.
Netherlands to ban all petrol vehicles
Electric vehicles – including self-driving cars – are clearly the future of personal transportation, but the question remains: when does the future begin, exactly?
Can nanotech be used to remove oil spills
Oil spills at sea, on the land and in your kitchen could one day easily be mopped up with a new multipurpose fabric covered with semi-conducting nanostructures, developed by a team of researchers from QUT, CSIRO and RMIT.
Electrical boost in non-ferrous metals observed
Insights from pure mathematics are lending new insights to material physics, which could aid in development of new devices and sensors.
