One of the most important alternative sources of energy is photovoltaic. Solar energy, growing everywhere (especially in China), is available in abundance and 100% renewable. The problem that has always plagued solar energy researchers is not its availability and renewability, but the possibility of storing it for a long time in a battery.

The idea of ​​park assist had also come from our grandparents' parents, and going back to the 30s I found truly picturesque proof of it.

Developed metal that repairs itself at room temperature

anewbonelike

For 6000 years we have made objects out of metal because it is strong and resistant: it takes a lot of energy to break it. The problem is that it takes a lot of energy to even repair it. You need a blowtorch that heats the metal parts up to 3500°C. Today, for the first time in the world, a research team has developed a way to repair metal at room temperature. A "regeneration" completely similar to the repair process of our bones, which will lead to the birth of... Read more
