Climate Change: ‘Sand Battery’ Can Fix Environment-Friendly Energy’s Significant Problem

Material & Energy, Renewable Energy, Tech /

Finnish scientists have set up the globe’s first completely working “sand battery,” which can save environment-friendly power for months at once. The designers claim this can resolve the trouble of year-round supply, a significant issue for eco-friendly power. Using low-grade sand, the gadget is charged with warmth made from affordable power from solar or wind. […]

Researchers May Have Discovered the Secret to Invisibility

Industrial & Military, Invention, Tech /

We can see things because light bounces off of them. Scientists say they have discovered a manner to make light pass directly via things– the secret to invisibility. Invisibility is not science fiction anymore. Researchers have developed a single light wave that, when emitted via an item, makes the item appear invisible to cameras and

Utilizing Lattice Distortions to Improve Carrier Mobility in 2D Semiconductors

Electrical & Electronics, Engineering /

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are semiconducting materials with thicknesses on the atomic range, which have outstanding electronic properties. In the future, these materials could have the capacity to substitute silicon in the advancement of numerous electronic and optoelectronic devices. Regardless of their benefits, the use of 2D semiconductors has so far been restricted, partly because of

Analyzing the Engineering of the Kasukabe Reservoir in Japan

Invention, Tech /

In Kasukabe, Japan lies the world’s biggest underground floodwater facility. Large artificial concrete caverns that compose the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, also called the G-Cans project, sprawl under the city’s surface-level infrastructure. The large subterranean drainage system was developed to prevent devastating flooding of the waterways that surround the city. Because of surges
