NRL successfully transmits electrical energy using microwave technology
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), a research facility of the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy, has successfully transmitted 1.6 kilowatts of electrical energy over one kilometer by converting electricity into microwaves, which are then sent to a receiver in a directed beam using a dish as a transmitting antenna. According to the NRL, […]

Internet of Bodies: Implantable microchips could put all your information in one place and make you ‘hackable’
Implantable microchips are now being marketed as the ultimate in convenience, but their goal is to ultimately create the Internet of Bodies (IoB) – an ecosystem of sensors designed to monitor, analyze and modify human bodies and their behavior. They would allow you to open doors without keys or buy things without your wallet. Sweden is one […]

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 […]

Water purifier inspired by mangrove trees can remove salt from water
Researchers have developed a new type of water purifier that mimics the way mangrove trees remove salt from salt water. This study not only offers a better understanding of the plants’ plumbing system, it could also lead to creating new desalination technologies. An engineering feat that has long baffled scientists is how mangroves survive their environments by converting […]

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 […]

UAE to make drinking water out of thin air
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to install water generators that can turn moisture in the air into water for public consumption. Powered by solar energy, these “hyper-dehumidifiers” can provide plenty of water to people, thanks to the humid UAE air. The technology is going to be tested in October. About 20 of these dehumidifiers can […]
