This is just the beginning, say scientists working on the new technology.
The rate of human-driven global warming is at a record high
Global warming caused by human action has continued to increase, even though climate action has slowed the rise in greenhouse gas emissions.
Meet Tumro, a jumping robot inspired by beetles
With its unique carbon fiber skeleton, this jumping robot closely mimics the energy-storing tissue found in insects.
World’s purest silicon chip could make quantum computers error-free
A new method to purify silicon for quantum computer chips could solve one of the biggest challenges in quantum computing.
Shira Joudan, tackling PFAS and environmental contaminants with chemistry
Chemist Shira Joudan discusses environmental contaminants, setting up at a new university, and building a supportive community.
Pulling clean hydrogen fuel from seawater
A new electrolysis device could transform the way we produce hydrogen fuel from seawater, addressing challenges that hindered this process.
How the bias in algorithms can help us spot our own
People recognize their own biases in algorithms’ decisions more than they do in their own—even when those decisions are the same.
Turning industrial waste into clean hydrogen fuel
New technique uses waste metal shavings to catalyze hydrogen production, turning nothing but trash and water into clean, renewable fuel.
Goldene, graphene’s golden cousin produced for the first time
Scientists have managed to create sheets of gold only a single atom thick using a hundred-year-old Japanese smithing method.
Fluorine helps make PET plastic waste easier to recycle
Pre-activation of plastics with fluorine-containing molecules disrupts their stability, making them easier to break down and upcycle.
