According to EU Science Hub, progressively regular severe climate events will induce intensifying damage to infrastructure, with losses believed to achieve €20 billion each year by 2030. These pressing threats convey into sharp aim the want for new answers to the problem of soil stabilization. Researchers at EPFL’s Laboratory of […]

Many thanks to my electric powered bicycle and Sounder teach commute, I am rarely in an car other than through the weekend. With a mile walk to and from the teach station to my office environment, it is amazing to leap on a foldable scooter to make that vacation in […]
This tale appeared in the September/October 2020 of Discover magazine as “Sound Off.” We hope you’ll subscribe to Discover and help guidance science journalism at a time when it’s essential the most. 6 many years in the past, 3 Volvo engineers sat on a forest floor in western Sweden, finding twigs off […]
A gasoline motor up entrance, a transmission in the middle, and a gas tank in back again: For decades, that’s the way most cars were being designed. Electricity has altered that equation. And the Bollinger B1 activity-utility and B2 pickup are amid the new electric automobiles (EVs) that show automobile […]
Stanford engineers have taken a significant action toward building it useful for electric powered automobiles to recharge as they speed along futuristic highways constructed to “refuel” motor vehicles wirelessly. Despite the fact that wi-fi charging pads presently exist for smartphones, they only get the job done if the mobile phone […]
Occasionally the sunlight just shines also brightly on California. The condition is this sort of a glutton for photo voltaic energy—a million photo voltaic-paneled rooftops, hundreds of great photo voltaic stations—that it routinely harvests extra megawatts than men and women can use or the grid can deal with. In the […]
As South Sudan emerges from the wreckage of civil war, its leaders are commencing to construct the nation’s electric powered sector from the floor up. With only a handful of oil-fired ability plants and crumbling poles and wires in spot, the region is striving for a procedure that runs mostly on […]
