Addressing the critical issue of greenhouse gas emissions, researchers have developed groundbreaking reactors that focus on mineralizing carbon dioxide using fly ash particles. This innovative technique not only provides a sustainable solution to the problem of emissions but also repurposes an industrial by-product in the process. With the rise of industrialization comes a surge in
A group of workers who were fired by SpaceX recently filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, alleging that the company has a sexist and discriminatory culture. The workers claim that Musk fostered a “Dark Ages” environment at SpaceX, where women were treated as sexual objects and subjected to lewd sexual banter. The civil complaint, filed
The International Energy Agency has recently released a report predicting a major surplus of oil by the year 2030. This surplus is expected to be a remarkable eight million barrels per day, creating challenges for oil markets and industry players globally. The report suggests that the increase in production coupled with a slowdown in global
When faced with challenges, we often seek complex solutions to address them. However, a recent study conducted by a research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) sheds light on the effectiveness of a simpler approach to solving complex issues. The team, led by Professor Byoungwoo Kang and Dr. Abin Kim from the
The recent research on improving the production of plutonium-238 (238Pu) through high-resolution neutronics modeling has the potential to revolutionize various technological fields. The new model developed by a team of nuclear scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Nuclear Power Institute of China has shown a significant increase in yield by close to 20%
Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained traction in recent years as a sustainable solution to combat critical environmental issues such as air pollution and fossil fuel dependency. The allure of EVs lies in their potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation. The reduction of
In the world of manufacturing, one of the most critical tasks is ensuring that the components produced are free from defects. However, in the realm of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, this task becomes particularly challenging. The reason behind this difficulty lies in the fact that additive manufacturing is capable of creating components
The aviation industry is experiencing a significant transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. While the idea of replacing pilots with AI may still be a distant reality, industry experts are recognizing the potential of AI to revolutionize the way airlines operate. Julie Pozzi, the head of data science and AI at Air
