In the outskirts of Trondheim, western Norway, food wholesaler Asko has been conducting trials since 2020 with four hydrogen fuel cell trucks provided by Swedish...
Crédit: Science KU Recent research indicates that European food consumption relies heavily on global resources, primarily imported from non-European countries. The food supply chain, starting from the primary agricultural sector, experiences food loss and waste until it reaches European consumers. Marianne Thomsen, a professor of sustainable food systems at the University of Copenhagen, suggests that halving...
The case for life on Jupiter's moon Europa just got stronger, thanks to the detection of carbon dioxide on its surfaceNASA The prime locations within our solar system for seeking extraterrestrial life aren't planets such as Mars; rather, they are icy moons like Europa. The evidence supporting the existence of life on this watery celestial...
The sun and the sea, both bountiful and freely available, are at the heart of a groundbreaking project aiming to create vertical sea farms that float on the ocean. These farms have the potential to produce fresh water for drinking and agriculture in a self-sufficient manner, all without human intervention. A world-first initiative by researchers...
Credit: Pixaobay The James Webb Space Telescope from NASA has initiated its examination of the famous supernova, SN 1987A, situated 168,000 light-years distant in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This supernova has been under extensive scrutiny for nearly four decades, spanning from gamma rays to radio waves, since its detection in February 1987. Fresh observations using...
Credit: Pixaobay While outer space lacks traditional air, it experiences a unique form of wind known as solar wind, composed of charged particles emitted by the Sun. The precise process driving this phenomenon remains unclear, but the Solar Orbiter spacecraft from the European Space Agency (ESA) has recently detected hitherto undiscovered "small-scale" eruptions on the...
"I believe that renewable energies are the solution to climate problems. Human irresponsibility, through less environmentally-friendly practices and the emission of harmful gases, is the root cause of the climate changes occurring worldwide"- Verônica Choconeza Verônica Choconeza Startup Nzolani Renewable CEO,Veronica. Veronica Choconesa is an engineer who works with drilling for oil and gas. She cares a...
