Offshore Solar: The Next Step in a Zero-Carbon Future As we move toward a zero-carbon future, large solar farms are becoming more common on land. However, much like wind turbines, large photovoltaic (PV) installations may soon be deployed offshore. China is taking the lead in this area and has begun sea trials with a wave-resistant […]

Slow Wi-Fi is a common frustration for many, but we may soon see faster speeds. Researchers at University College London (UCL) have achieved a new world record in wireless data transmission, transmitting an impressive 938 Gigabits per second (Gbps) using a combination of radio and light technology. Wireless data transmission offers greater convenience than installing

The potential for nearly limitless clean geothermal energy has significantly improved. Researchers at EPFL’s Laboratory of Experimental Rock Mechanics (LEMR) have demonstrated that the semi-plastic, viscous rock found at supercritical depths can still be fractured to allow water to flow through. Together with nuclear power—through fission or fusion—and a few other advanced energy sources, geothermal

Transforming Vulnerability into Advantage While surgical stitches are effective for wound healing, they can sometimes come undone with excessive movement. However, researchers in China have transformed this vulnerability into an advantage by creating stitches that generate an electric charge when stretched, promoting faster healing. Standard sutures commonly treat large and deep skin wounds by aligning
