Tesla models chargingUsing EV (Electrical Vehicles) instead of automobiles powered by internal combustion engines is good for the environment. Nevertheless, the absence of charging terminals and charging times makes people hesitate before getting themselves an electric car.Scientists and companies work together to offer faster charging times and more common charging stations, like roads that...
Magic PenResearchers at Hongtuo Joint Laboratory in Wuhan, China, have designed what seems like a mysterious yet fascinating laser pen that can write in mid-air-- an intriguing technique that could, theoretically, be an onramp to "Star Wars"- Esque hologram innovation.The South China Morning Post reported the other day that the pen utilizes ultra-short laser...
A sustainable alternative to traditional hide, the luxury fabric is carbon-neutral and also can be grown to order.California-based biotech company MycoWorks has developed a brand-new eco-friendly, vegan leather derived from fungi.The leather turns mycelium-- threads from the original structure of mushrooms-- right into a product that imitates the look also feel of animal-based leather.MycoWorks...
The cost to producers for implementing EPR for packaging fell by £1 billion due to the exclusion of business waste.The Recycling Association has cautioned that proposals for business waste collection areas in the Scottish Government's circular economy bill could be "damaging" to the recycling industry.Within the consultation, the Scottish Government states it intends to...
The sand battery has been installed and is functioning well according to the power companyFinnish 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...

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...
A European consortium, EuroFusion, has taken an essential step on the long road to commercially viable nuclear fusion.The consortium just revealed the beginning of a five-year "conceptual design" stage for its DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO), a press statement reveals.This means nuclear fusion researchers are starting design work on a European demonstration power station that...
