Watch: First-Ever Nanoscale Video of Hydrogen and Oxygen Atoms Forming Water

Image from Pixabay We all know the basic equation: hydrogen plus oxygen equals water. Now, scientists have taken it a step further, capturing the very first molecular-scale video of this iconic reaction. This breakthrough could ultimately pave the way for innovative methods to produce large quantities of drinking water. Palladium, a rare element, is a highly...

Solar Still Made of Old Tires Purifies Water at Less Than 1c/Liter

The new solar still has been tested in real world settings Canadian scientists have developed an innovative device that can purify a gallon of water per day for just a few cents. Even better, this sustainable purifier is made from recycled tires and can also generate small amounts of electricity. Innovative Solar Still Turns Undrinkable Water...

Jupiter Has No Surface. Here’s How That’s Possible

Credit: pixabay The planet Jupiter has no solid ground—no surface, like the grass or dirt we walk on here on Earth. There’s nowhere to land or walk on. But how is that possible? If Jupiter has no surface, then what does it have? How does it hold together? Even for a physics professor who studies unusual phenomena,...

Greenhouse Gas Concentrations Reach Record Levels as Scientists Raise Concerns

Credit: Pixabay In 2023, greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere hit new record highs, ensuring future temperature rises for years ahead, the United Nations cautioned on Monday. The levels of the three primary greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which contribute to climate warming—have all risen once more over the past year, according to the...

Airbus and Toshiba Collaborate on Superconducting Aircraft Motor

Concept of the Airbus/Toshiba superconducting aircraft motor Collaboration for Ultra-Efficient Motor Development Airbus and Toshiba have joined forces to develop an ultra-efficient superconducting motor for aircraft that utilizes liquid hydrogen to power the propulsion system and cool adjacent systems. Among the alternatives for reducing aircraft emissions, hydrogen stands out for its high energy density and ability to...
