At one of Europe's largest chemical complexes, German group Covestro is trialing the manufacture of a key product using sugar as a base material instead of oil, as the industry seeks to reduce its carbon footprint.

¡Descubre el fascinante mundo de los gusanos de la harina!Profundice en su ciclo de vida, sus usos y por qué son más importantes de lo que cree.

The question may sound like a "duh," but it gets to the heart of how we categorize and define nature

It's easy to mistake a crow for a raven or vice versa. But the two birds are actually pretty different.

Nurse Shark Ginglymostoma cirratum These bottom dwelling sharks are usually yellowish-tan to dark brown and, as adults, average around 7.5 to 8 feet long and over 200 pounds (Rosa et al. 2006). They are nocturnal, scouting the sea bottom for crustaceans, mollusks and stingrays during the nig

Pueden suceder cosas extrañas cuando una onda encuentra un límite.En el océano, las olas de un tsunami que apenas se notan en aguas profundas pueden llegar a ser bastante grandes en la plataforma continental y la costa, a medida que las olas disminuyen y su masa se mueve hacia arriba.

Clocks will "spring forward" when daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March 10, 2024.

There are some really cute insects out there, and one genus of especially cute insects is the genus Euspinolia, called the Panda Ants. Panda Ants are actually not ants at all, but instead are wasps…

A new approach to grid planning could make it possible to power your home with the nation's best and lowest-cost wind and solar energy, no matter where you live.

El impulso a la energía renovable es fundamental para abordar el cambio climático, con la energía eólica a la vanguardia.Como principal emisor de gases de efecto invernadero, China se ha embarcado en un viaje transformador hacia alternativas más ecológicas, con el objetivo de alcanzar la neutralidad de carbono para 2060.

Historically, photovoltaic (PV) modules have demonstrated high reliability, making them a dependable and growing part of global decarbonization efforts. PV module technology also has a history of iteration and evolution over time, with potential impacts for module reliability.

Un equipo de investigación dirigido por el profesor Seok Ju Kang de la Escuela de Ingeniería Química y Energética de la UNIST ha revelado una técnica para producir en masa electrolitos sólidos poliméricos, componentes cruciales de las baterías.Su artículo se publica en la revista Energy Storage Materials.

Schools of fish, colonies of bees, and murmurations of starlings exhibit swarming behavior in nature, flowing like a liquid in synchronized, shape-shifting coordination. Through the lens of fluid mechanics, swarming is of particular interest to physicists like Heinrich Jaeger, the University of Chicago Sewell Avery Distinguished Service Professor in Physics and the James Franck Institute, and James Franck Institute research staff scientist Baudouin Saintyves, who apply physics principles to the development of modular, adaptive robotics.

Peripheral vision enables humans to see shapes that aren't directly in our line of sight, albeit with less detail. This ability expands our field of vision and can be helpful in many situations, such as detecting a vehicle approaching our car from the side.

When you teach a child how to solve puzzles, you can either let them figure it out through trial and error, or you can guide them with some basic rules and tips. Similarly, incorporating rules and tips into AI training—such as the laws of physics—could make them more efficient and more reflective of the real world. However, helping the AI assess the value of different rules can be a tricky task.

Adhesive tape or sticky notes are easy to attach to a surface, but are difficult to remove. This phenomenon, known as adhesion hysteresis, can be fundamentally observed in soft, elastic materials: Adhesive contact is formed more easily than it is broken.

El Área del Patrimonio Mundial de los Trópicos Húmedos es una maravilla natural viva y un paisaje cultural como ningún otro lugar del mundo.Abraza la franja costera desde Townsville hasta Cairns como una larga cinta verde.

The rapid advancement in machine learning techniques and sensing devices over the past decades have opened new possibilities for the detection and tracking of objects, animals, and people. The accurate and automated detection of visual targets, also known as intelligent machine vision, can have various applications, ranging from the enhancement of security and surveillance tools to environmental monitoring and the analysis of medical imaging data.

Los metales se pueden transformar en alambres mediante conformado en frío, un proceso extremadamente complejo.Sin embargo, los lubricantes necesarios para ello a menudo no cumplen con los requisitos de los procesadores finales.

The energy transition is progressing, and photovoltaics (PV) is playing a key role in this. Enormous capacities are to be added over the next few decades. Experts expect several tens of terawatts by the middle of the century. That's 10 to 25 solar modules for every person. The boom will provide clean, green energy. But this growth also has its downsides.
