DETROIT - Solar panels are popping up on more and more rooftops around the country, but we’re still letting untapped energy blow over our heads. Aeromine’s powerful, small-scale rooftop wind turbines were built to bring wind energy down to earth. Aeromine’s wind turbines — which are also called Aeromines — were built to work in tandem with solar
BOSTON - Artificial intelligence is still costly to replace most human jobs, according to a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The MIT Beyond AI Exposure study said, "Machines will steal our jobs" is a sentiment frequently expressed during times of rapid technological change. "Such anxiety has re-emerged with the creation of large language
SWEDEN - Scientists in Sweden have developed a specialized fluid, called a solar thermal fuel, that can store energy from the sun for well over a decade. "A solar thermal fuel is like a rechargeable battery, but instead of electricity, you put sunlight in and get heat out, triggered on demand," Jeffrey Grossman, an engineer
The British Government's former UFO project chief Nick Pope has revealed that there has been a swathe of sightings in South America. There has been a significant rise in alleged UFO sightings over the recent years, particularly in Brazil. Pope explained: "It's an interesting point because all too often when we talk about UFOs and
BOSTON - Carbon capture — commonly thought of as the use of technology to remove carbon dioxide from the air — is a hotly debated topic. Though the U.S. Department of Energy committed $131 million to various carbon capture projects, opponents claim that focus on carbon capture distracts from other, more effective strategies for combating our warming planet. Now,
BEIJING - China's Betavolt New Energy Technology has unveiled a new modular nuclear battery that uses a combination of a nickel-63 (⁶³Ni) radioactive isotope and a 4th-generation diamond semiconductor and can power a device for 50 years. Nuclear batteries may sound like something super-advanced, but they've been around in one form or another since the
DETROIT — Chinese automakers pose a growing threat to their American counterparts — even without selling directly to consumers in the U.S. market. Sales of China-made vehicles are rising at notable rates in Asia, Europe and other countries outside those continents. China recently reported exports of more than 5 million vehicles in 2023, topping Japan to
NEW YORK - A group of researchers from the Technion Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering has presented a new technology for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. Their breakthrough was recently published in Nature Materials. The novel technology embodies significant advantages compared to other processes for producing green hydrogen, and its development into a commercial technology is likely to
TOKYO - A Japanese technology start-up is developing a thin-flexible film that could challenge China's hegemony in the global market for solar panels. The technology uses minerals that form a crystalline structure called perovskite that can convert light into electricity, The Wall Street Journal reported. Earlier research on perovskite cells showed they weren't as efficient as
OSAKA, Japan – Yanmar Power Technology Co., Ltd, is developing a hydrogen-fueled 4-stroke high-speed engine for power generation for coastal vessels in Japan as part of the Nippon Foundation’s zero emission ship demonstration experiment. The engine utilizes hydrogen as a fuel, emitting no CO2 during combustion. In parallel with the hydrogen engine development, YPT will
