The plastic material is of precious help. Some might also say it is an inevitability. However, it causes a tremendous harmful influence on our environment.Well, consider the Great Pacific rubbish patch, an oceanic accumulation of trash so enormous that it is generally referred to as a trash island. The area is twice the size...

Robotically engineered machines, jet packs, and flying automobiles appeared to be guarantees for the 21st century. Since then, we have instead been given mechanized, autonomous vacuum cleaners. A team of scientists at Penn State is now investigating the requirements for electric vertical vehicle takeoff and landing (eVTOL), and developing and evaluating potentially battery energy...

The product resembles an authentic steak portion consisting of muscle tissue, blood vessels, and fat.As a result of its high...
The now-familiar sight of conventional propeller wind turbines might be substituted in the years to come with wind farms consisting of an extra compact and efficient vertical turbine design.A new study from Oxford Brookes University has found that the vertical turbine concept is far more effective than conventional turbines in large-scale wind farms. When...
