EarthCruiser aims to get a jump on the next-gen realm of electric overlandingEarthCruiser As the world's largest RV show kicks off in Germany, American adventurers are gearing up for the third installment of the Overland Expo, OX Mountain West, in Loveland, Colorado this year. As promised, the most significant and most robust electric camper in the...
Credit: Unsplush. A recent analysis of images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has unveiled an intriguing find within the Sombrero Galaxy. Conducted by Elio Quiroga Rodriguez from the Mid Atlantic University in Spain, this discovery sheds light on a previously unnoticed galaxy that harbors an active galactic nucleus (AGN). The findings were detailed...
Credit: Pixaobay Scientists have discovered that wildfires have a more significant warming impact than previously estimated by climate researchers. The study emphasizes the importance of 'dark brown carbon,' a previously unidentified group of particles released during wildfire smoke. This finding underlines the necessity for immediate revisions to climate models and updated strategies to address the...
Incorrect way of using biomass for energy generation. Co-authored by Rita Frost, this post delves into the environmental impacts of biomass. Whether using wood or fossil fuels for energy, both contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbate climate change. The practice of importing biomass or fossil fuels for energy production has significant consequences for climate change...
At the center of this image is the young star V960 Mon, located over 5000 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. Dusty material with potential to form planets surrounds the star. Observations obtained using the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch (SPHERE - https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/vlt/vlt-instr/sphere/) instrument on ESO’s VLT (eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/vlt/), represented in yellow in this image, show...
"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...
South Africa's power crisis will persist until 2025, with blackouts phasing out in 5 years. South Africa is facing a severe electricity crisis with increasing enforced power cuts, leaving people without electricity for up to 10 hours a day. The root cause is the frequent breakdowns in the country's aging coal power plants, which...
Credit: unplah By utilizing microwave instruments to examine the depths of the Moon's far side, scientists have identified a significant subsurface granite formation referred to as a "hotspot." This discovery implies that the Moon possesses greater similarities to Earth than what was previously assumed. Granite formations are typically found on Earth as a result of the...
Credit: Pexels Since water plays a crucial role in supporting life forms based on carbon, scientists actively search for it when exploring the potential for extraterrestrial life. This includes investigating other planets through probes and using space-based telescopes to observe the cosmos. Detecting water from Earth-based instruments is considerably challenging. However, recently developed water-detecting receivers,...
