Scalable technology can work in relative humidity of four percent too.
An international collaboration of researchers has successfully demonstrated the production of green hydrogen directly from the air, a press release said.
Solar and wind installations are picking up steam as the world looks toward greener energy sources. Although energy is generated in an emission-free way in these methods, energy storage requires large batteries, which do not fit into the idea of sustainable living.
It was the country’s 35th successful rocket launch this year.
China’s space agency, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) continues its impressive launch cadence for this year with its latest launch. The agency launched a mystery spy satellite that may gather military intelligence for the country, a report from Space.com reveals.
The satellite, called Yaogan 33, launched atop China’s Long March 4C rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert at 7:44 pm (23:44 GMT) on Friday, September 2.
China launched a mysterious spy satellite that will “monitor land, crop yield and natural disasters” but could also gather military intelligence, analysts think.

Are near-Earth objects a threat to Earth?
An asteroid is a metallic or rocky body that orbits the Sun within the asteroid belt, a region of space between Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids are believed to be remnants of the early formation of the solar system. They are often called “minor planets”, although they do not have an atmosphere. They can be the size of a dwarf planet, but they can also be as small as 6 feet (2 meters) in diameter —which is the case of the tiniest asteroid ever found, 2015 TC25.
Most asteroids are not that small. If it were to hit the Earth, a sufficiently large asteroid may have a higher chance of surviving the entrance to our atmosphere and impacting the ground.
The price has increased by $3,000, but Tesla’s FSD is still a work-in-progress.
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Beta option now costs a hefty $15,000. Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Twitter late last month that it would increase the option’s price by $3,000.
As of this week, the change has been made official, meaning anyone selecting the FSD option for their Tesla will have to pay the increased price. Musk mentioned in his August tweet that the previous price would be “honored for orders made before September 5, but delivered later”.
Is Tesla’s $15,000 FSD offering worth it?

While business transformation has always been critical to staying relevant and competitive, global disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic created an urgency to accelerate innovation to keep pace with market conditions and changes in customer demand. In fact, many digitally transformed companies have not only survived — they’ve thrived.
According to a 2021 McKinsey Survey, top-performing companies now obtain a larger share of their sales from products or services that didn’t exist just one year ago. These companies are making more aggressive plans to differentiate themselves with technology, and some are preparing to reinvent their value proposition altogether.
A relatively new kind of semiconductor, layered atop a mirror-like structure, can mimic the way that leaves move energy from the sun over relatively long distances before using it to fuel chemical reactions. The approach may one day improve the efficiency of solar cells.
“Energy transport is one of the crucial steps for solar energy harvesting and conversion in solar cells,” said Bin Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in electrical and computer engineering and first author of the study in the journal Optica.
“We created a structure that can support hybrid light-matter mixture states, enabling efficient and exceptionally long-range energy transport.”
Starlink user says Starlink’s connectivity was “surprisingly good” despite some outages when the yacht turned or surrounded by masts in a harbor.
Solar Orbiter was hit by a coronal mass ejection from the Sun, and it has the receipts to prove it.
No fields, tractors or back-breaking work: This may be how fruits and vegetables are sustainable in the future.
Jeff Bezos thinks the Earth will be like a protected national park in the future — and maybe even a hot cosmic tourist attraction.
The Amazon and Blue Origin founder spoke at the 2021 Ignatius Forum last Wednesday about the future of space travel. During the discussion, he made the eyebrow-raising comment that most people won’t even be born on Earth one day and that it might even turn into a tourist destination for space colonizers, according to RealClearPolitics.
“Over centuries, most or many of the people will be born in space,” Bezos said at the forum. “It will be their first home. They will be born on these colonies, they will live on these colonies. They may visit Earth the way you would visit Yellowstone National Park.”
