Residents of Cardiff’s Odet Court housing complex U.K. are benefiting from “world-first” technology that allows solar energy from a single rooftop system to be shared by multiple residences in the same building.
The new solar system setup can supply up to 75 percent of each apartment’s power requirements, benefiting the residents, Euronews reported on Saturday.
Robotic boots providing superhuman reflexes can help your balance. A new study shows that the key to augmenting balance is to have boots that can act faster than human reaction times.
Scientists and government agencies have been worried about the space junk surrounding Earth for decades. But humanity’s starry ambitions are farther reaching than the space just around Earth.
Climate change policy has entered a new era. The growing row between the United States and the European Union over the impacts of the new American green subsidy regime makes that all too clear. Yet, in many ways, this story is ultimately about China.
For the last 20 years, developed countries have used three main types of policies to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy mandates have required electricity generators to invest in solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power. Emissions trading schemes for energy and industrial businesses put a price on carbon. And energy efficiency standards have been progressively improved on a whole range of products, from vehicles and white goods to homes.
You can’t ride them, but you sure can dream about them.
The works of the world’s most famous architects are easy to recognize. They add beauty and grace to our landscape and brighten up even the gloomiest of neighborhoods.
Now, designers Moss and Fog have used AI-image generator MidJourney to produce cars in the style of the world’s most famous architects, and the results are both mesmerizing and invigorating. and Fog/Instagram.
A disruptive new planet-hunting technology, now under study as part of NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, could literally detect and then look for biosignatures from every Earth 2.0 within a thirty-light-year radius of our solar system.
Known as DICER (The Diffractive Interfero Coronagraph Exoplanet Resolver), the key to this NIAC study’s revolutionary means of detecting these planets is that unlike conventional optical space telescopes — which use curved, highly polished mirrors to collect starlight — this mission would employ flat sets of what are known as diffraction gratings.
Who says you need a conventional telescope to find exoplanets? NASA has funded a ‘Phase I’ study for the development of a whole new means of detecting and then teasing spectra from very nearby exoplanetary earths.
Chamath says that venture capitalist investors are looking for companies that can collect unique datasets. Proprietary unique datasets could be critical to having superior performance for ChatGPT like Generative AI.

In a study from St George’s and elsewhere, scientists found 119 areas in the genome that help to determine the size and shape of blood vessels at the back of the eye. They found that an increase in the “twisting” of the arteries could cause high blood pressure and heart disease.
Molecules from mucus can be used to produce synthetic bone graft material and help with the healing of larger bone loss, a new study found.
Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology report the development of a bioactive gel which they say could replace the clinical gold standard of autografting, in which lost bone is replaced with healthy bone taken from another part of the patient’s body.
Hongji Yan, a researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, says the gel contains mucins, molecules which were derived from cow mucus. The mucins are processed into gels which are combined with monetite granules, a commonly-used synthetic bone graft material. The synthetic gel can be injected to the site of the bone loss.
