With natural bees being reported as dying at an unprecedented rate, researchers have come up with the idea of developing “RoboBees” or bee-like drones that can perform artificial pollination.
A team of Japanese researchers from the National Institute of Advanced...
"Every delay in peaking emissions by five years between 2020 and 2035 could mean additional 20 cm of sea-level rise in the end—which is the same amount the world's coasts have experienced since the beginning of the pre-industrial era,"...
The additional materials, manufacturing, assembly, weight, electric consumption, and aerodynamic drag of a connected and autonomous vehicle’s sensors and computers were found to significantly increase its lifetime energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions – about 3 to 20 percent...
When two different materials have different temperatures, the temperature gradient causes the charge carriers to move from the hotter material to the cooler material. This conversion of temperature gradient into electricity and vice versa is called thermoelectric effect.
In this...
An overwhelming statistical fact throws light on the evolution of wind turbines, according to the Danish Energy Agency Energistyrelsen (and its associated 4 decades of statistical data), in charge of following up on the development of the energy and supply...
Piezoelectricity – the principle behind a quartz watch, voice recognition software, microphones, etc. – is the conversion of mechanical energy into electricity and vice versa.
Discovered by Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880, the piezoelectric effect was first observed when...
A recent study conducted by a bunch of 'University Types' from the University of Leeds found that Vietnam is the only country on earth that is even close to using resources sustainably, and ensuring a good quality of life...
Powertrains are the heart of vehicles as they constitute the components that generate power and deliver them to the road. Cummins Inc., a U.S.-based Fortune 500 company, is well-known for designing, manufacturing, and distributing diesel- and natural gas-powered engines....
CROSSVILLE, Tenn. - A new federal loophole is allowing truck body manufacturers Peterbilt, Freightliner and others to go in tandem to assemble "gliders", as these trucks have been dubbed because they are manufactured without engines and are later retrofitted with...
Your family bought that old boat decades ago, when you had the free time to spend a whole weekend on the water. These days, you find it difficult to find even an hour to yourself, let alone the days...
