Japanese researchers say they set a new world record with the fastest internet speeds, sending over 1,120 miles (1,802 kilometers) of data per second.This is about 4 million times the average internet speed in the US, and according to some rough estimates, you can download the entire internet archive within 4 minutes. This is also more than twice the previous world record of 50,250 Gbps set by a different team of scientists in 2024.To achieve this new speed that has not been independently verified, the team has developed a new form of fiber optics to transmit information at groundbreaking speeds,…

According to SECLG process simulations at the University of Johannesburg, promising industrial processes can convert grinded sugarcane waste into green hydrogen much more efficiently than previously thought. This simulation shows the high energy efficiency of green hydrogen, producing a small portion of unwanted tar, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen (N) compared to traditional biomass gasification plants. This process could help decarbonize future energy-intensive industries such as steel and cement. Large-scale gasification methods produce too much tar The large-scale gasification methods currently in use are not energy efficient, do not have high rates of green hydrogen, and the…

Residents of Shiro, Alabama, are suing the state Department of Transportation, claiming that the agency’s expansion of highways has led to repeated flooding of their homes. As Lee Hedgepeth explains in Inside Climate News, “The lawsuit filed in federal court on July 1 alleges that Shiro’s flooding continues to worsen as rainwater erodes land around the United States.” Although Aldot denied that flooding was the result of discrimination against the community, he agreed to a “voluntary resolution” intended to provide relief to residents by purchasing more public roads to divert stormwater from their homes, few additional detention basins have been…
In city and state opinion, Katayun I. Yafari, Prime Minister of the Philadelphia Bar Association, argues that public transport is an integral part of the functional judicial system and that the Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Agency (SEPTA) budget could have a negative impact on criminal and civil courts. As Septa prepares to cut services by 45%, Jaffari points out that 40% of the city’s first judicial ward jury will use Septa to go to court. “Without SEPTA as an option, it would be more difficult for ju apprentices to report, and some choose not to dilute the pool of ju apprentices…
Federal tax incentives for energy efficiency upgrades are no longer available, reports Robert Freedman of Smart Cities Dive. The Republican Domestic Policy Bill eliminated the energy-efficient commercial buildings deduction, funding building owners to exchange HVAC systems, lights and building envelopes, and encouraged adaptive reuse of office and other commercial buildings. According to Paul Williams, who covers the tormented real estate industry, “In many foreclosure scenarios, including office buildings, warehouses, or mixed-use commercial real estate, green virtue signaling was not the only energy efficiency upgrade. As Friedman explains, “Private financial institutions and municipalities are not well positioned to replace the deduction,…
