Future batteries could charge up by relying on a quantum effect known as indefinite causal order, whereby the laws of cause and effect are scrambled and power can move through the system quicker.
Researchers at the University of Sussex have discovered the transformative potential of Martian nanomaterials, potentially opening the door to sustainable habitation on the red planet.
Using resources and techniques currently applied on the International Space Station and by NASA, Dr. Conor Boland, a Lecturer in Materials Physics at the University of Sussex, led a research group that investigated the potential of nanomaterials—incredibly tiny components thousands of times smaller than a human hair —for clean energy production and building materials on Mars.
Taking what was considered a waste product by NASA and applying only sustainable production methods, including water-based chemistry and low-energy processes, the researchers have successfully identified electrical properties within gypsum nanomaterials—opening the door to potential clean energy and sustainable technology production on Mars.
Algae biofuel has unlimited supplies that is also regenerative in its supply chain. It can reproduce nearly indefinitely bringing infinite supplies instead of oil which is dependent on earth this could even be used in space.
After ExxonMobil walks away, algae biofuel gets another shot at success and the US Department of Energy is here for it.
The AI-guided system will stop turbines from spinning when birds are flying in the vicinity and create a safe zone.
Wind turbine collisions are responsible for over 679,000 bird deaths in the US alone every year. To protect vulnerable birds, wind farms can also be shut down.
“The R in R30 stands for Revolution; we decided to offer something radically different, radically better,” say the creators of the boat.
The Blue Innovations Group, founded by the former Global Head of Manufacturing at Tesla, has officially launched the R30 electric boat.
John Vo, founder and CEO of the Blue Innovations Group, proudly introduced the R30, emphasizing its radical departure from conventional boat designs.

Dec 20 (Reuters) — Sales of electric cars in the European Union were almost half of all new passenger car registrations in the EU between January and November 2023 and already crossed the halfway mark in the month of November alone, data showed on Wednesday.
Electrified vehicles — either fully electric models, plug-in hybrids or full hybrids — accounted for over 47.6% of all new passenger car registrations in the EU as of November, up from 43% in the same period last year, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) said.
New-car registrations in the EU increased 6.7% in November, the 16th consecutive month of growth, with a year-on-year rise of 13.3% in the registration of electric vehicles. Petrol car registrations grew by 4.2%, while diesel dropped by 10.3%, the data showed.
Summary: A novel aircraft design pioneered by startup Natilus could dramatically alter the cargo transportation industry, offering larger capacities, reduced emissions, and futuristic remote control options.
In the field of aviation technology, a groundbreaking blended-wing robotic aircraft presents a future where efficient and sustainable cargo planes are the norm. The company pioneering this effort, Natilus, has built a model that harmonizes ecological concerns with the need for faster and cost-effective transportation.
Drawing from the source article, the unconventional plane differs from traditional airliners with its distinct diamond-shaped body that facilitates a more spacious cargo hold. This design enables up to 60 percent more cargo to be carried compared to the current models in use. Furthermore, it notably claims to cut carbon emissions by half, a crucial development for an industry under increasing pressure to become more environmentally friendly.
The clip, which made the rounds on social media, showed the 7,000-pound truck with a Christmas tree loaded in its bed helplessly spinning its tires while slowly being towed up the hill by a white Ford truck.
The incident led to plenty of mockery. After all, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a big deal out of the Cybertruck having “more utility than a truck” during his incredibly awkward delivery event last month.
Even the local Stanislaus National Forest Service, which manages the National Forest where the truck got stuck, took the opportunity to issue a public service announcement, as spotted by the LA Times.
