Rapid, Accurate Radioactive Material Localization With Drones and Robots

Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive substances (commonly referred to as CBRNE) can endanger both the public and emergency responders. In 2023, a tiny cesium capsule fell from a truck in Australia, sparking a major search. The growing number of hybrid attacks and other destabilizing activities has further intensified the threat landscape. Two research departments […]

If an Asteroid Hits the Moon in 2032, Earth could be Affected

There’s often a silver lining to any scenario. In 2032, the Moon could quite literally have one if it were struck by a 60-meter-wide asteroid. While the probability remains relatively low—about 4 percent—it’s not insignificant. The Dual Impact of a Lunar Collision Scientists are preparing for both the risks—threats to satellites and meteor fallout—and the

Hydrogel Coating Improves the Efficiency of Solar Panel Power Output

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has created a low-cost, easy-to-apply hydrogel coating that improves heat dissipation in solar panels by effectively cooling “hot spots,” while also boosting power generation efficiency and contributing to Hong Kong’s urban carbon-neutrality goals. Hot spots, often caused by partial shading, significantly reduce solar panel efficiency
