VIENNNA, Austria - While the world keeps fighting to see who will be crowned as the leader in green energy, Austria, quietly, has positioned itself as a pioneer in this sector. The reason? They’ve invented a way to “plant” used batteries as if they were seeds. This discovery from the Technical University of Vienna may sound like
NEW YORK - Recent breakthroughs suggest that hydrogen reservoirs are buried in countless regions of the world, including at least 30 U.S. states. Finding such reservoirs could help accelerate a global energy transition, but until now, geologists only had a piecemeal understanding of how large hydrogen accumulations form — and where to find them. "The game of
OREGON - McDermitt Caldera in Oregon is attracting attention for what could be one of the largest lithium deposits ever identified in the United States. Many view it as a potential boost for domestic battery production, while local communities voice concern over the impact on wildlife and cultural sites. The excitement stems from estimates that value
NEW YORK - A newly discovered asteroid could smash into the Earth in the not too distant future. Earlier this year, another near-Earth asteroid drew global attention after astronomers revealed it had a non-zero chance of smashing into Earth in 2032. Asteroid 2024 YR4 hit headlines after NASA upped its odds of impact to 3.1 per cent – the highest ever
LANSING - The U.S. has built a secret underground “city” costing $21 trillion where the ultra-wealthy can hide out druing a “near-extinction event,” a former government official has claimed. In what sounds like the plot of many science fiction movies, Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under president
NEW YORK - When the word teleportation comes to mind, we always think of what science movies and fiction have fed us: travelling at high speed in a few seconds to the next location. However, scientists claim they have made it a reality between two quantum supercomputers. Researchers accomplished what has long been regarded as
SAN FRANCISCO - The tech world is abuzz with speculation about the future of smartphones, and some of the biggest names in the industry are painting vastly different pictures. While figures like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman believe that the smartphone era is nearing its end, Apple’s Tim Cook stands firm
ANN ARBOR - A modified manufacturing process for electric vehicle batteries, developed by University of Michigan engineers, could enable high ranges and fast charging in cold weather, solving problems that are turning potential EV buyers away. “We envision this approach as something that EV battery manufacturers could adopt without major changes to existing factories,” said Neil
BEJING - Scientists may have identified a way to naturally regulate blood sugar levels and sugar cravings in a similar fashion to drugs like Ozempic. In mice and humans, the key to unlocking this natural process was found to be a gut microbe and its metabolites – the compounds it produces during digestion. By increasing
DETROIT - Plenty of secrets hide under Lake Michigan's waters, including a 9,000-year-old 'Stonehenge.' Now, scientists have found something else that's raised plenty of questions among geologists. Around 40 massive depressions were found beneath Lake Michigan's surface; what are they, and how did they form? Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Great
