How miniaturization transforms technology
Miniaturization is a natural path for almost any technology. The computer used to feature an entire room, but now it’s small enough that a much stronger version can fit in your pocket. This trend is still ongoing, and its impacts go far beyond mere convenience. As electronic components continue to get smaller, they open the […]
Moray West Wind Farm set to carry half a Scottish home
In a groundbreaking move towards the UK’s clean energy future, Scotland’s Secretary Ian Murray has turned on full power at Ocean Winds’ new Moray West Wind Farm. Located 13 miles from Bucky’s coast, Moray West Wind Farm is one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farms. It produces up to 882MW of production, half of Scottish […]
3D satellite monitoring helps protect forests from climate change
Developed by British scholars and engineers, the 3D satellite monitoring system is set up to be the first in the world to measure the state of Earth’s forests from space. 3D satellites can help us understand how tropical forests are changing, thus protecting future generations from climate collapse and accelerating the transition to net zero. […]
A sustainable solution to down cows
James Yeatman, Dairy Farmer and Managing Director of CowRecovery, introduces the CowRecovery system designed to offer a sustainable, cost-effective, and safer solution to deal with down cows. On every dairy farm, there are moments that test even the most experienced stockperson. One of the most difficult is the issue of a cow unable to stand. […]
Key to Highly Efficient Power Transfer
The topic of electric vehicles is controversial. Some believe it is a wave of the future, while others are pushed back. But the simple fact of the matter is that it is already here. Millions of buyers have moved to electric vehicles, using EV charging stations both personally and publicly. Behind the scenes, critical components […]
The EU announces massive reforms to improve traffic safety
The European Commission proposed a drastic overhaul of vehicle safety and registration rules amid a bold move to modernize transportation across Europe. With road safety still underway and vehicle emissions making a significant contribution to air pollution, the new proposal aims to line up obsolete regulations with today’s technological realities, particularly the rapid rise of […]
Purify important minerals to advance battery recycling capabilities
CIRBA solutions highlight the importance of battery recycling and how it needs to expand to meet global demand for critical minerals. Demand for advanced batteries has not slowed, and organizations around the world are aiming to emerge as leaders in battery recycling and critical mineral markets. To compete globally, regions need to increase their capabilities […]
Researchers advance searching for lunar ice
The presence of ice on the moon becomes an important resource at the base of the future moon, as it can be used to support humans or to break down into hydrogen and oxygen, the main components of rocket fuel. Therefore, scientists and space explorers have long hunted to determine where the ice is on […]
New materials promise flexible thermoelectric semiconductors
New materials can be used as thermoelectric semiconductors in wearable devices by using techniques that focus on manipulating spaces between atoms in crystals. Researchers at Queensland Institute of Technology have used “Vacancy Engineering” to enhance the capabilities of AGCU semiconductors, an alloy made up of silver, copper, tellurium, selenium and sulfur, converting body heat into […]
The UK government pledges to boost £300 million for the offshore wind industry
The UK government has announced a £300 million investment to strengthen its domestic supply chain for offshore winds. The funds, provided through British energy, are intended to inspire billions of dollars in additional private investments, revitalize Industrial Heartland and support thousands of skilled jobs across the country. Offshore wind engineers, welders and technicians benefit from […]
