  • Large-Scale Wind Farms May Warm Average Surface Temperatures More Than Previously Thought

    The farms require five to 20 times more land and could warm the U.S. by 0.24° C.

  • Team Uses "Robomussels" to Check Mussel Temperatures

    As temperatures rise due to climate change, mussels tucked away in their intertidal beds face temperatures reaching close to their lethal limit in certain regions of the world. As such, researchers are attempting to determine what that temperature threshold is by examining refugia, otherwise known as geographic regions less susceptible to climate change where animals like mussels, incapable of relocating, have a higher chance of survival.

  • Wikipedia Cleans Up Millions of Broken Links

    Thanks to an alliance between Wikipedia and the Internet Archive, nine million broken Wikipedia links have been restored.

  • Responding to Negative Reviews May Feel Right, But Could Prompt More

    A new study has found that when managers respond to online reviews of their businesses, it could spark more reviews, and specifically, more negative reviews.

  • Lowering Fuel Cell Cost with Quinone Mediators and Cobalt

    The new fuel cell design produces about 20% of what is possible in commercial hydrogen fuel cells but is about 100 times more effective than biofuel cells that use related organic shuttles.

  • NTSB Urges System Alert After Close Call at SFO

    Air Canada flight 759 was cleared to land on runway 28R in July 2017, but instead lined up with parallel taxiway C where four airplanes were awaiting clearance to take off. The error could have been catastrophic.

  • Initiative 97: Who’s Land Grabbing Now?

    Initiative 97 defines an increased buffer zone between new oil and gas developments and occupied buildings. It questions the role of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). Have they been too lenient on an industry that has blatantly disregarded public health and safety? Is the oil and gas industry at fault for over-reaching in an attempt to capture a valuable resource or is this backlash a form of land-grabbing?

  • OXIS Energy Advances Lithium Sulfur Cell Technology to 450 Wh/kg

    OXIS achieved 425 Wh/kg on a high energy 16 Ah pouch lithium sulfur cell design for High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) applications.

  • A Mask That Lets Busy People Send Surrogates to Meetings They Can't Attend

    A collaboration between Sony and a Japanese AR/VR researcher allows time-stretched people to hire surrogates to attend conferences and meetings in their absence.

  • Fixing a Typo on an Iconic New York Bridge

    It will soon be illegal for cyclists in the Netherlands to use their smartphones while riding their bicycles, thanks to a new law that will take effect July 2019.

  • A First for Flat Lenses: Full-Color Imaging

    Ordinary simple lenses are limited by an inability to focus light of different colors, but metamaterials science has led researchers to create a flat lens capable of full-color imaging.

  • Biomechanical Exoskeleton Crowdfunding Campaign Started

    The device would help both able-bodied and disabled people walk further and carry heavier loads.

  • Sea Machines Successfully Completes Autonomous Marine Vessel Testing

    The command and control systems could be used on commercial, scientific or government vessels.
