Scientists develop AI program that uses x-rays to detect COVID-19
Scientists from the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have created a groundbreaking artificial intelligence program that uses x-rays to detect the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) faster and more accurately than standard PCR tests. The process uses x-ray technology. The patient gets an x-ray done of his or her chest. The AI program then uses an algorithm to […]

Low-cost filter utilizes sunlight to remove impurities from water
A new low-cost filter is set to address water purification for those living off the grid. The filter — which resembles a large sponge — soaks up water but leaves contaminants such as pathogens and chemicals behind. Placing the filter under the sun allows clean water to pass through, which can then be collected for use. The […]

Scientists now looking at transparent nanolayers for increased solar power production
A team led by researchers from the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZ Jülich) research center in Germany has developed a unique kind of solar cell that uses transparent nanolayers to produce more electricity than conventional solar cells. Their solar cell makes use of a sophisticated design and a nanostructured transparent material for the solar cell’s topmost layer. Solar power is […]

Scientists build circuit that generates clean, limitless power from graphene
Physicists from the University of Arkansas (UArk) have successfully developed a circuit capable of generating electricity from the natural thermal motion of graphene. “An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide clean, limitless, low-voltage power for small devices or sensors,” said lead researchers Paul Thibado, a professor of physics and lead […]

Study: Watching virtual reality videos of the North Pole found to reduce chronic pain
Researchers from Imperial College London have found that watching virtual reality (VR) videos of the North Pole helps relieve chronic pain. In a study published in Pain Reports, the researchers reported that VR therapy helps reduce perceived pain levels and pain sensitivity. Virtual reality an effective pain reliever The researchers mimicked the heightened sensitivity of people with chronic pain […]

BMW & Ford to test solid state batteries next year
Today’s electric vehicles are far from perfect, and one of their biggest weak points are their batteries. Newer solid state batteries are expected to play a big role in EV technology moving forward, and now two major car makers are moving forward with tests of these batteries. In addition to lower costs and higher energy […]

TERRAFORMING: Carbon-sucking machine switched on in Iceland, will remove 4,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year, harming rainforests and food crops
The world’s biggest carbon-sucking machine, called Orca, is a $15 million device that can capture 4,000 tons of CO2 per year and is billed to reverse climate change (but actually harms rainforests and food crops by reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere). The “direct air capture” (DAC) machine was created by Zurich-based company Climeworks and […]

Brooklyn-based startup teams up with DOE to develop wireless charging technology for electric vehicles
The Department of Energy‘s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has licensed its wireless charging technology to Brooklyn-based company HEVO. The system provides high-power levels that could one day enable electric vehicles to be charged as they are driven at highway speeds. HEVO intends to continue working with ORNL on this technology to increase the power levels and […]

New thermal energy storage technology uses sand as medium
Energy storage is becoming a critical component of the economy. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power are changing how our buildings, industries and grids operate. However, they remain intermittent, and as such, energy storage remains critical. To meet the energy storage problem, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are developing a […]

DISCOVERY: Luminescent “windows” could transform light into power
Engineers from Rice University in Houston developed a novel method of generating power through the use of glowing “windows” that redirect light to the solar cells lining their edges. The windows, known as luminescent solar concentrates (LSCs), are composed of a conjugated polymer sandwiched between two acrylic panels. The polymer, a light-emitting compound dubbed PNV (poly[naphthalene-alt-vinylene]), is designed to absorb light from the […]
