Platinum and palladium are essential elements for a hydrogen economy. To retrieve them from asteroids such as Psyche takes ample electric power and a fast ship. Lunar thorium can be transmuted into uranium via accelerator-driven D-D fusion using (non-radioactive) deuterium brought from Earth. With reaction mass stored in porous silicon, doubling as radiation protection for astronauts,
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) can be disabling, persistent, debilitating, depressing, and very expensive as it affects 1/5 of all women and 12th of men, and comes with a combined overall estimated cost burden of over $289B.
In a sustainable energy-focused world, the automotive industry is working to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel reliance. The Dynamic Solar Panel Integrated Vehicle (DSPIV) concept integrates advanced solar panel technology into the vehicle's exterior to enhance sustainability. This includes photovoltaic (PV) modules that propel the vehicle, power essential accessories, extend the vehicle's range,
The 'Check Engine Light,' or MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), illuminates (sometimes flashes with potential fire hazard) on the instrument cluster (IPC) as a very important standard feature for emission control/powertrain performance warning on cars and trucks, since around 1980. However, once the light is triggered it stays ON for a set period of time/ ignition cycles,
Hybrid Drone-Based Surveillance System: Revolutionizing Versatile Monitoring
In an era where security and efficiency are paramount, our hybrid drone-based surveillance system stands at the forefront of technological innovation. This system seamlessly integrates aerial and terrestrial capabilities, offering unmatched versatility for a wide range of surveillance applications.
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used as a disinfectant in water treatment, but its potential health risks due to disinfection by-product (DBP) formation necessitate accurate and timely monitoring. Existing detection methods are often time-consuming and require laboratory analysis, limiting their practical application. Here,
Climate change is a well-known problem. Current political solutions are mainly based on an all-electric, hydrogen, and zero carbon society. It means stopping use of fossil resources like oil and gas. However, we cannot live without carbon, since it is a fundamental element in our daily life. (Textile fibers, plastics, fertilizer,….etc.
Given that microplastic pollution is ubiquitous in soil, oceans, and even human bodies, it has grown to be a serious environmental concern. This issue is greatly exacerbated by microplastic powders, which are frequently used in cosmetics due to their smooth texture and exfoliating qualities.
Automatic Waste Segregation Bin
Introduction
Managing municipal solid waste is a critical global issue exacerbated by increasing waste production and the urgent need for sustainable practices. Traditional methods of manual waste segregation are plagued by inefficiencies, high costs, and significant environmental hazards.
Over 1,000,000 people are killed each year during urban disasters. 2,500,000 people will be permanently disabled or displaced, and the affected communities will take 20 to 30 years to recover and billions of dollars in economic losses. If we can reduce the initial response by one day we can reduce the overall recovery by 3 years.
