Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new type of material that could offer a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to clean pollutants from water.

Dubbed an “engineered living material,” it is a 3D-printed structure made of a seaweed-based polymer combined with bacteria that have been genetically engineered to produce an enzyme that transforms various organic pollutants into benign molecules. The bacteria were also engineered to self-destruct in the presence of a molecule called theophylline, which is often found in tea and chocolate. This offers a way to eliminate them after they have done their job.

Electric vehicles use lithium ion batteries with small amounts of nickel, manganese and cobalt. How do they work and what chemistry affects their properties?

Toyota, renowned as the world’s largest car company, has often been perceived as an anti-EV automaker due to its cautious approach and reluctance to embrace the EV revolution.

Toyota maintained its course to focus on alternative options or rather specifically saying hydrogen path for its automobility future.

Instead of succumbing to the hype surrounding these vehicles, Toyota has consistently maintained its stance, emphasizing the need for battery technology to reach a certain stage before committing to the electric path.

Thanks and please follow me on Linkedin for more tech and cybersecurity insights.

More remarkably, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-based computers in the next century may alter how we relate to ourselves.

This is according to a press release by Scania published on Thursday.

Don’t always follow what is popular, as what is good becomes popular, like the iPhone vs Nokia phones. How many people has Tiktok poached from Facebook? WeChat is inspiring Elon Musk. Yeah China has made fake stuff in the past, but this isn’t as well as China’s electric car market. I don’t discriminate, and I even want to buy my parents a Nigerian car that runs on LNG and CNG. Eric I hope if they make this concept, you buy Gen this Honor V Purse, or even buy both of you the Honor Magic V2.

What if we could replace a time-consuming analysis, an important prerequisite to judge the right mix of isotopes to use?

Why can’t we find power the same way stars do— clean, renewable, and free of radioactive waste?

Humanity’s quest for clean and sustainable energy sources has reached a pivotal moment as researchers explore nuclear fusion. Unlike current nuclear fission plants that produce energy at the cost of radioactive waste, nuclear fusion offers the promise of virtually limitless and environmentally friendly power generation.

Images of the new, refreshed Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle (EV) has been revealed ahead of the model’s official debut in Europe and China. This is the first time Tesla has chosen to launch a new vehicle outside the United States.

The new Model 3 will produced in China and sold in Europe, China and the Middle East.

It looks similar to the current Model 3, with this new design being akin to a mid-generation refresh that traditional automakers would push forward. It comes with a revised front bumper with a reimagined LED signature, has new aerodynamic wheels and is said to have a more streamlined body, which has lead to more all-electric range.

In response to rising fuel prices, Uber has introduced electric motorbikes in Kenya, initially available only in Nairobi. Uber has unveiled an electric motorbike named “One Electric” for the Kenyan market.

This introduction is pivotal as the global automotive sector is shifting towards electric vehicles, with nations like the U.K. intending to eliminate vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. This announcement is Uber’s third significant product introduction in Kenya this year, preceded by the launch of an audio recording feature for safety and the incorporation of M-PESA into its payment methods.

Frans Hiemstra, the director and regional general manager for Uber in the Middle East and Africa, emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainable practices. He mentioned that introducing the Electric Boda on their platform showcases their dedication to offering an emissions-free transportation option in Kenya. This move also aligns with Uber’s global ambition to achieve a zero-emissions platform by 2040.
