Planet Venus. Credit: Unsplash. For the first time, oxygen atoms have been identified in the dayside atmosphere of Venus, free from being part of larger molecules. This revelation not only marks a significant advancement in our understanding of Venus but also paves the way for future missions to the enigmatic planet. Revised Text For the first time...
Mose Sakashita, a Cornell University doctoral student in the field of information science, with the VRoxy systemSreang Hok/Cornell University In essence, many telepresence robots are primarily remote-controlled tablets maneuvered through a room. However, the VRoxy system distinguishes itself by mirroring the user's movements and autonomously navigating to various spots within a designated area. A group of...

This principle extends to quantum bits or qubits, the building blocks of quantum computing. A Quantum Leap in Coherence Time A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has achieved a significant...
After verifying output simulations over 200 hp-per-liter, AVL will next install the H2 engine into a car for track testingAVL Earlier this month, the Austrian mobility technology firm AVL had reason to celebrate as it verified simulations demonstrating its prototype 2.0-liter turbo hydrogen race engine achieving over 200 horsepower per liter. AVL employs a water-injection...
An economic cycle of ammonia from production to utilization. Credit: Wiley Online Library. As the world strives to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and make the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources, alternative fuels have been at the forefront of innovation. Among these alternatives, ammonia, a common industrial chemical, has been gaining attention...
According to the United Nations Environment Programme, over 300,000 disposable diapers are incinerated, dumped in landfills or otherwise enter the environment once every minute worldwideCredit: pixaobay Disposable diapers contribute significantly to the world's waste problem, primarily due to their challenging recyclability. Nevertheless, there is a fresh method that can recover the "superabsorber" polymer used in...
In a world where innovation often centers around entirely new materials and manufacturing techniques, StructCode presents a novel approach to unlocking hidden potential within everyday objects. Crafted by researchers at MIT, this ingenious concept combines laser-cutting techniques with common materials like wood to store data discreetly within object joints and living hinges. The Superman Analogy: A...
Credit: Pixaobay New research suggests that, regardless of our efforts to reduce fossil fuel consumption, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will persist in accelerating its melting rate throughout the century. This impending surge in ice melt is expected to lead to a rapid rise in Antarctica's contribution to sea-level elevation over the next few decades. Utilizing...
