Finland Powers Up World’s Largest Sand Battery with Promising Economics

Climatology, Earth Science /

It may not look like much, but Finland has just powered up the world’s largest sand battery—a massive 49-foot silo filled with 2,000 metric tons of crushed rock. Yes, actual sand. This type of thermal energy storage system works by using electricity—often from renewable sources—to heat sand or crushed rock. The stored heat can then

A Bioengineered Tooth Grows in Place, Resembling a Natural one in Look and Feel

Healthcare, Medicine /

Dental implants may resemble real teeth, but they aren’t true replacements in terms of structure or function. Now, researchers have created a groundbreaking new implant that integrates with the gum tissue and connects with existing nerves, closely imitating a natural tooth’s appearance and performance. Even better, the procedure is simpler and less invasive—no bone drilling
