Graphene is essentially a wonderkid material, as we have reported time and time again. It’s great at conducting heat and electricity, and it’s extremely strong and stable, on top of being only an atom thick. These amazing properties would single-handedly transform the world of consumer electronics, not to mention industrial applications. But researchers have struggled to move beyond tiny lab samples for studying its material properties to larger pieces for real-world applications.
We are so used to hearing about climate change and the negative impact that human activity has on the environment of our planet, that we rarely even think about what we could do to not only stop hurting it, but to actively start helping. It is by all accounts accidental, but it does not make it any less true that as new research shows, 13,000 years of repeated occupation by British Columbia’s coastal First Nations has had a positive effect on the area, enhancing temperate rainforest productivity.

When it comes to automobile shipping, there are generally two main options. The vehicle can be shipped in a container or via Roll On Roll Off (RORO). The latter is a very popular, cost-effective type of transport where the cargo is simply “rolled on” the vessel at the port of loading and “rolled off” the vessel
Ever since humanity journeyed for the first time into outer space, we’ve been fascinated to push the boundaries of interstellar travel. For decades, astronomers have been searching for a planet that would offer us habitable conditions or even indicate signs of life already existing there. So far either the nature of the planet and its surroundings or the remoteness makes
Maximum distance travelled on a single charge continues to be one of the biggest drawbacks if one should choose to get an electric vehicle (EV), compared to their gas-powered counterparts. Although electric cars were proven ready to satisfy our commuting needs (as we have reported before), they still remain
Usually when we order some fragile items, they come in a somewhat amusing packaging that might employ some in popping craziness. The talk is about the bubble wrap. But some people take it further than others and decide to incorporate it into science. Engineers from MIT probably thought along those lines and came up with a pretty handy bubble-wrapped, sponge-like device that soaks up natural sunlight and heats water to boiling temperatures, generating steam through its pores.
Foods and beverages come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and flavors. But there is one thing they usually have in common: plastic packaging. On one hand, this kind of wrapping undeniably offers a vast array of benefits such as airtight protection from damage, ease of use and opening, the ability to be molded into seemingly limitless shapes, or aesthetics.
Imagine a couple of travellers just dropped off at an airport after a long flight. The tediousness only now settles in, as they step outside the arrivals hall and observe the congested traffic and tens of drivers in cabs or buses, their faces shrouded in frustration. It is going to be a long day before they finally drop their bags and relax.
