LONDON, Ontario - Researchers at the University of Western Ontario recently completed the world's first-ever international holographic teleportation. The coronavirus pandemic pushed the digitalization of many day-to-day functions of our lives. An important one among them was meeting people. Instead of having to commute to the office or travel across the oceans for a meeting,
LONDON, UK. - Record-breaking heatwaves, lethal flooding, and extreme weather events are just the beginning of the climate crisis, according to a leading UK climate scientist. In his new book published Thursday, "Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant's Guide," Bill McGuire argues that, after years of ignoring warnings from scientists, it is too late to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate
TOKYO, Japan - A climate scientist at Tohoku University in Japan has run the numbers and does not think today's mass extinction event will equal that of the previous five. At least not for many more centuries to come. On more than one occasion over the past 540 million years, Earth has lost most of
DETROIT - GM says it will have its own family of microchips locked in by 2025, a move that is expected to offset future chip-related production delays. In a recent interview with Associated Press, GM CEO Mary Barra said that GM is moving toward three families of microchips that the automaker will buy and control directly. This is
DETROIT - Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) announced they found a way to build powerful magnets much smaller than ever before, a press statement states. The new innovation could help in the development of tokamak reactors, unlocking the potential of nuclear fusion that powers the sun and
DETROIT - In 1972, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) presented a fascinating study called The Limits to Growth. The aim of the study was to find out how long we have until the end of civilization as we know it. To do this, they created a computer model that was fed with a
LONDON, UK - Scientists have long been looking for a way to develop nuclear fusion, which could offer a limitless source of clean power as the world begins to phase out fossil fuels. Fusion, which is the energy that powers the sun and other stars, combines light elements in the form of hot, charged particles
DETROIT - An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. The method takes place under continuous flow over a photo-catalytic material using visible light to drive the conversion. To
SAN DIEGO - Electric Vehicles could soon perform better in both extremely hot and cold climates thanks to a new design of energy-dense lithium-ion batteries. The study was conducted by nanoengineer Professor Zheng Chen of the University of California San Diego and his colleagues. Prof. Chen said: “You need high temperature operation in areas where the
LONDON, UK - Rolls-Royce believes in hydrogen so much that it wants to make it with the help of a new range of mtu electrolyzers. The company has announced its first step in the hydrogen production market with the recent acquisition of a 54 percent majority stake in a German electrolysis stack company. Dr. Otto
