Researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering have developed a new catalyst that efficiently converts captured carbon into valuable products such as ethylene and ethanol, even in the presence of sulfur oxide impurities. This breakthrough offers a more economically viable method for carbon capture and upgrading, potentially revolutionizing industries such as steel and cement production … Read more
Footage of the Ring Doorbell posted to TikTok captures two emotional moments in one family’s life. The footage captured the greatest joys and deepest sorrows that Jessie and Nate, both 32, experienced during their journey as parents to their stillborn baby, Matthew. They wrote in the video’s caption, “We watch this footage often. We are … Read more
Researchers at the University of Nottingham have developed a new method using a 3D-printed vacuum system to detect dark matter and potentially reveal the nature of dark energy. The system manipulates the gas density and uses ultracold lithium atoms to probe the effects of scalar fields, with the aim of observing domain walls: defects formed … Read more

Their unique labyrinthine creations, inspired by the knight’s moves on a … Read more
14 The Starship program is testing with a possible tower capture in mind for the system’s next flight, a goal that seems more within reach after Flight 4’s successful soft landing on the ocean. In addition to a booster test section – Booster 14.1 – that will move to the orbital launch pad, a second … Read more
Since dramatically quitting Google last year, Geoffrey Hinton, better known as the “Godfather of AI,” has been a harbinger of doom for how the emerging technology could impact humanity. But more than a year later, the former Googler and AI naysayer is again betting on the technology’s ability to transform the world for the better. … Read more
