The all-in-one Camper, Trike, and Boat The BeTriton, a Latvian-made recreational vehicle, intends to transform the way individuals travel locally. As founder and CEO Aigars Lauzis puts it, "instead of globe-trotting and hopping on planes, you would really travel and engage with the surrounding landscapes around where you are." The inspiration for BeTriton came to Aigars Lauzis...

Credit: Andrew Higley, University of Cincinnati A chemist at the College of Cincinnati has come up with a unique means to examine the thermodynamic properties of molten salts that are utilized in numerous nuclear and solar power applications. UC College of Arts and Sciences research join and computational chemist...
Today we were in a frenzy over a sneaky side-glimpse of a galaxy revealed in the first full-color James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) pictures. However, if you thought that was wild, then wait on this: it ends up JWST has also went down some stealthy images of Jupiter! And they are ridiculously beautiful. These photos, taken...
Astronomers at MIT and elsewhere have mapped the composition of asteroid Psyche, revealing a surface of metal, sand, and rock. Credit: Screenshot courtesy of NASA The different surface recommends a dynamic history that could include metallic eruptions, asteroid-shaking impacts, also a lost rocky mantle. Later this year, NASA is defining to launch a probe the size...
The sand battery has been installed and is functioning well according to the power company Finnish scientists have set up the globe's first completely working "sand battery," which can save environment-friendly power for months at once. The designers claim this can resolve the trouble of year-round supply, a significant issue for eco-friendly power. Using low-grade sand, the...
A wonder of engineering, Webb is able to gaze further into the cosmos than any telescope before it thanks to its enormous primary mirror and its instruments that focus on infrared, allowing it peer through dust and gas. NASA administrator Bill Nelson stated Wednesday that the agency will reveal the "inmost picture of our universe...
Artist's Impression of a comet passing through our solar system Amateur astronomers may very soon be able to see a comet initially spotted in 2017. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), abridged as K2 for brief, was once the most distant active comet ever before pinpointed, a difference it recently ceded to the mega comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein, found out...
MIT astronomers have discovered a new multiplanet system that exists just 10 parsecs, or approximately 33 light-years, from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems to our own. The star at the system's heart likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets. Credit: MIT News, with TESS Satellite figure courtesy of...
But do not be too thrilled-- the researchers say it might easily just be a misidentified transmission from us humans. Credit: NASA. A group of Chinese and American researchers put their reputation on the line with a bold claim: that, with many caveats, a recently identified narrowband signal could indicate intelligent extraterrestrial life. The uncommon signal-- captured...
A view of Piz Benina. Credit: CGTN. The renowned snow-capped peaks of the Alps are fading quick and being replaced by vegetation cover-- a procedure called "greening" that is predicted to increase climate change, a study said Thursday. The research, released in Science, was based on 38 years of satellite images throughout the entirety of the...
