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...
Researcher Seunghwan Kim and the WalkON Suit F1 exoskeleton compete in the 2024 CybathlonKAIST Exoskeletons have assisted paraplegic patients in walking for years, but KAIST’s latest model offers a unique approach. The WalkON Suit F1 can move up to a patient in a wheelchair, secure itself around their legs and torso, and help them stand...
The 'how' behind the link between red meat consumption and cancer has been identifiedDepositphotos Mechanism Linking Red Meat to Colorectal Cancer Identified Researchers have identified the mechanism that connects the excessive intake of red meat to colorectal cancer, along with a potential intervention strategy for this type of cancer. Red meat serves as a vital source of...
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...

Compared to other senses, human smell often seems like an afterthought. However, researchers have discovered...
The wave-resistant solar platform will be tested for a year following installation at the Huaneng's offshore wind farm in the Yellow SeaCGTN Offshore Solar: The Next Step in a Zero-Carbon Future As we move toward a zero-carbon future, large solar farms are becoming more common on land. However, much like wind turbines, large photovoltaic (PV) installations...
"The small size of the robot, its waterproof design and solidness contribute to being able to operate in environments where other types of mobile robots are insufficient, such as underground tunnels, narrow passages or waterlogged terrains"MAB Robotics From fire-breathers to sprinters, climbers, and gymnasts, we've witnessed an impressive array of quadruped robots. Now, the fourth-generation...
This tiny chip can diagnose a heart attack in minutesWill Kirk/Johns Hopkins University Revolutionary Chip Detects Heart Attack Biomarkers in Minutes A small chip with a unique surface can accurately detect heart attack blood biomarkers within minutes, a much shorter time than current methods, even when they are present in very low concentrations. The researchers behind...
