Imagine a dress that doesn’t just fit you perfectly – it morphs along with your style, body, and the shifting trends of the season. It sounds futuristic, but this ‘smart’ garment exists thanks to a collaboration between textile innovators at MIT and a forward-thinking fashion house. It makes sustainable fashion more innovative.

Traditionally, bespoke tailoring—making clothes to a customer’s measurements—was the only way to ensure a perfect fit for one’s body. However, this option was too expensive for most people. A new invention of active fibers and innovative knitting processes is making custom clothing more accessible and eco-friendly.

Scientists worldwide have initiated a voluntary effort to establish safety guidelines for the ethical use of AI in protein design.

Hospital workers face fatigue from beeping noise. A new study proposes musical timbres that reduce annoyance without compromising alarms.

Scientists have made a breakthrough with an ALP facilitating underwater communication. Check out how this could be a game-changer for us.

This is a sci-fi documentary, looking at what it takes to build an underground city on Mars. The choice to go underground is for protection, from the growing storm radiation that rains down on the surface every day. And to further advance the Mars colonization efforts.

Where will the materials to build the city come from? How will the crater be covered to protect the inhabitants? And what will it feel like to live in this city, that is in a hole in the ground?

Tesla hopes that more EVs will have the charging inlet in a similar location as Tesla EVs: “Additionally, we encourage all vehicle manufacturers to standardize charge port locations to the rear driver side or front passenger side.” But there are no signs that other OEMs will do that, because many of them have different ideas about the charging port location.

Because of that, Tesla is working on an additional solution—an extension cable (NACS to NACS). According to the manufacturer’s FAQ page, it will be available for purchase in the future.

China wants to set up a Higgs factory that can produce millions of Higgs boson and establish it as the world leader in high energy physics.

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications reveals how maternal and fetal genes, influenced by food availability, play a crucial role in the growth of a baby’s cerebral cortex, linking higher birth weight to an enlarged brain area. This research highlights the significant impact of genetics and environment on early brain development.

In September, Tesla announced it had delivered 50,000 Superchargers worldwide, bringing greater access to rapid refueling for its electric vehicle customers.

The company is showing no signs of slowing down, as January heralded the arrival of the 55,000th fast-charging point.
