Here Are Some Crucial Climate Actions You Can Take To Protect The Environment In 2026
Our eyes need to be on the environment in 2026. No longer will we accept individual guilt for climate degradation. Yes, changing behaviors is a starting place to protect the environment, but we can only achieve about one-tenth of the emissions-reduction potential that corporations need to adopt, says the World … [continued]
Roboticist Warns of Robot Bubble
This is apparently Robot Sunday. We’ve got another robot story. And another bubble story. A couple of days ago, I wrote about a potential (or expected) AI bubble, and combined that with some robot news. However, now we’ve got a separate story about a potential robot bubble. Rodney Brooks is … [continued]
A Reversible Self-Assembling Solid-State Battery Electrolyte From MIT
Researchers at MIT are hot on the trail of a way to make a more recyclable battery for use in electric vehicles.
MIT Researchers Develop New Process For Turning Carbon Dioxide Into Ethylene
Ethylene is one of those substances that acts as a precursor to hundreds, maybe thousands, of useful products. According to Wikipedia, it is a hydrocarbon like carbon dioxide but with the formula C2H4, or H2C=CH2. It is a colorless, flammable gas with a faint “sweet and musky” odor when pure. … [continued]
Solar Desalinization System From MIT Needs No Grid Connection Or Battery Backup
Engineers at MIT have devised a new solar-powered desalinization system that requires no external power or backup batteries.
EV Charging Stations DO Benefit Local Businesses
It has long been theorized that EV charging stations located in a business’s parking lot should help that business to earn more money. It’s not complicated, and on the surface, it just makes sense. If you attract more people to your parking lot, or if they are compelled to stay … [continued]
