We have the potential to use electricity as transportation fuel without needing to change current infrastructure Today, electrical energy generated by various methods is still difficult to store efficiently. Chemical batteries, hydraulic pumping and water splitting suffer from low energy-density storage or incompatibility with current transportation infrastructure. In a study published March 30 in the

Not in Canada, Australia, UK??? I’m paying $5 a month, and my connection is 1,000 times faster. You’re probably paying something like $60 a month for high-speed Internet. I’m paying $5 a month, and my connection is 1,000 times faster. Your iPad can’t play Flash videos on the Web. Mine can. Your copy of Windows

In May, Sony and Google announced a strategic alliance to develop new Android-based hardware products. The partnership is bearing fruit in the form of Sony Internet TV, powered by Google TV. It seems that most premium new releaseHDTVs come with Internet connectivity these days but one of the big differences offered by Sony’s Internet TV

There’s a new kind of spaceship on the horizon. No, it’s not a cruise ship (we wish!) – it’s a clipper, and if Joel Poncy and his team at Thales Alenia Space have their way, it’s coming to a solar system near you. The Data Clipper will be a maneuverable solar-powered spacecraft that collects scientific

Growth factor-mimicking antibodies capable of inducing tissue repair in the body to be developed into regenerative medicine treatments by AntlerA, a new Toronto startup. Our body makes antibodies to fight infections. But the synthetic versions of these molecules could hold the key to stimulating the body’s ability to regenerate. The findings come from a decade-long

“By tuning the sound waves, we can create any pattern we want on the surface of a microchip,” In a breakthrough discovery, researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have harnessed the power of sound waves to enable precision micro- and nano-manufacturing. The researchers have demonstrated how high-frequency sound waves can be used to precisely

Microplastics are increasingly seen as an environmental problem of global proportions. While the focus to date has been on microplastics in the ocean and their effects on marine life, microplastics in soils have largely been overlooked. Researchers are concerned about the lack of knowledge regarding potential consequences of microplastics in agricultural landscapes from application of

By now must of us are aware of the benefits of electric vehicles (EVs). They’re better for the environment, they’re quiet, they have less moving parts and are therefore more reliable and cheaper to operate and maintain than their combustion-powered counterparts. But it’s obviously not all upside or EVs would be the rule on our
