The artificial reef took place in the seafront area of the famous Opera House, the characteristic Sydney theater known throughout the world. Not far from there is the Great Barrier Reef, which is increasingly at risk.
A Lausanne team estimated the heat that passes through the underground tunnels and designed a geothermal system to extract energy from the metro
Even in the UK the hydrogen train starts running. How is development going in the rest of the world? Let's take stock with this article.
The study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine shows that when someone goes from unemployment to a paid job of 8 hours or less per week, their risk of mental problems is reduced by at least 30%: instead there is no evidence that a longer schedule provides greater mental well-being.
The look is intelligent and rather slim yet muscular: Vera looks like a sports car of the kind that raced at Le Mans. The use will be extended, Volvo says, to ferry logistics, and these autonomous vehicles will travel a precise route to transport short-haul containers in a continuous flow.
The Governor of Washington state signs an agreement to "compost" the deceased: it is the first time in the world. The 'green revolution' will also change the cult of the dead.
The new wood is very dense and has a strength of around 404 megapascals, which makes it almost 9 times stronger than natural wood.
“I try to take precautions. I don't turn on too many lights, take shorter showers, or anything. I do what I can. But in my profession it is a very simple gesture that can have a gigantic impact."
Tackling fire in a microgravity environment like that of space cabins presents many more headaches than on Earth, but Toyohashi University of Technology has found a brilliant solution, which could find a wider outlet in the future.
Is anyone able to remember the businesses in which Elon Musk had a hand? It is an enormous amount of initiatives that embrace vast fields of knowledge: Elon Musk is co-founder of Paypal, creator and CEO of SpaceX, at the helm of Tesla Motors, president of SolarCity and "putative father" of Hyperloop, the revolutionary transport system " tires” that could lead us to travel in capsules at speeds of over 1000 kilometers per hour, currently being tested on a small stretch in Nevada. … Read more
Not just electric and hybrid cars: the airline sector also wants to renew itself, and EasyJet wants to lead the way with the project of a hydrogen hybrid plane. In fact, air pollution also comes from airplanes, and the EasyJet company has been trying for many years to reduce CO2 emissions and become more "green." The company recently presented the concept of an aircraft that uses fuel cells to power the engines during hovering. … Read more
Carrefour has started to look around among its suppliers (651) to identify the "greenest" companies that are ahead in adopting environmental sustainability policies. The company asked participants to present their projects, then evaluating them with the consultancy of Fedabo, a leading company in the sector, evaluating their innovative scope and producing a ranking: 7 virtuous companies, each for a reason. For Carrefour's sales and marketing director, Grégoire Kaufman, the process was natural: since 2011… Read more
This car has no engine, no transmission and no differential: it weighs half of a normal car: each of its four wheels has an electric motor which allows it to contribute to the movement of the vehicle and a rapid change of direction: at current state, however, you need advanced control for the movement or it is really difficult (not to say impossible) to drive it. Junmin Wang is an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ohio State University, and his team is… Read more
How about a vehicle with thorium engine, which runs without polluting and does it for 100 years without stopping with only 8gr of fuel?
Even if the masses focus on the poisonous emissions of carbon dioxide, other dangers hide behind (it must be said) our cars: nitrogen oxides, for example. deadly because they react to sunlight and form nitric acid, directly involved in the formation of ozone, smog and acid rain. Exposure to these agents in traffic damages the respiratory tract, even seriously in the medium to long term. Some tests are verifying a possible solution to the problem: that of 'purifying' the ...

More than a novelty in the Bravo range or at Fiat, today we are talking about an offer that Lingotto offers (and in times of crisis the offers are very useful) for the dual fuel version, LPG version of the Bravo; the possibility of having the car at an advantageous price, complete with financing, insurance and without a down payment. For those who don't know it yet, the Fiat Bravo Mylife is equipped with a 1.4 HP 90 EasyPower engine and, as for the ... Read more
Size matters, even when it comes to aircraft: the bulkier the aircraft, the better they fly, with more stability and efficiency (think of the recent, enormous Airbus A380). Nothing prevents us from imagining, therefore, a timeline in which we will aim to create increasingly larger aircraft, to the point of launching real flying airports, capable of hosting and landing other planes on top of them. This is the underlying reason for the 'Airborne Metro' concept: it is, in fact, ... Read more
