Scientists discover vast underground hydrogen reserves that could power Earth for centuries, potentially revolutionizing clean energy production.
Charging an electric vehicle can be daunting sometimes, but Tesla, the biggest player in the game, has long figured it out. Thanks to its extensive Supercharger network of DC fast chargers that are tightly integrated with the cars’ software, it’s extremely easy to plan a route in a Tesla EV.
The infotainment system shows the driver exactly how many charging stops are needed, how much juice will be in the battery when arriving at a charging stop and how much energy will be added during the charging stop. It’s all seamless, and it’s one of the biggest reasons why people buy Teslas to begin with.

Pig-to-human kidney transplants. A blood test for Alzheimer’s. Birth control without a prescription. These were just a few of the advancements in health and medicine in 2024.
Asteroids, comets, and cosmic clouds hold organic molecules, hinting at the building blocks of life beyond Earth.
Researchers in Japan made a groundbreaking discovery that could bring us closer to sustainable energy from nuclear fusion reactors, paving the way for longer-lasting, more efficient clean energy systems.
In a recent study, the team developed protective coatings to enhance the durability of materials used in fusion reactors, addressing a key challenge: material degradation from extreme heat and corrosive liquid metal coolants.
Your body is one of the most complex natural structures ever. Billions of cells are put together in a specific way with the result being you. If you look closely between the cells you’ll find the extracellular matrix, a gel-like environment where cells reside and which helps them to talk to each other. However, when disease strikes, cells and the matrix alike can be irreparably damaged, which could lead to the loss of cell function.
In her Ph. D. research, Maritza Rovers looked at ways to make microgel-based scaffolds for cells, which could be used to support eye cells or even promote nerve growth in spinal cord injuries.
Every person on the planet is made up of billions of cells, which are the building blocks of our bodies. Between these cells lies the so-called extracellular matrix (ECM), a gel-like environment in which cells live out their lives.
A rare genetic variant, APOE3 Christchurch, delays Alzheimer’s onset by years in high-risk individuals, offering insights into disease resilience. This discovery could guide new treatments targeting similar protective pathways for Alzheimer’s prevention and therapy.
Six years ago, NASA’s Dawn mission communicated with Earth for the last time, ending its exploration of Ceres and Vesta, the two largest bodies in the asteroid belt. Since then, Ceres —a water-rich dwarf planet showing signs of geological activity— has been at the center of intense debates about its origin and evolution.
Now, a study led by IAA-CSIC, using Dawn data and an innovative methodology, has identified 11 new regions suggesting the existence of an internal reservoir of organic materials in the dwarf planet. The results, published in The Planetary Science Journal, provide critical insights into the potential nature of this celestial body.
In 2017, the Dawn spacecraft detected organic compounds near the Ernutet crater in Ceres’ northern hemisphere, sparking discussions about their origin. One leading hypothesis proposed an exogenous origin, suggesting these materials were delivered by recent impacts of organic-rich comets or asteroids.
2024: A year when AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity converged to redefine our digital landscape. For those navigating these complex technological frontiers, clarity became the most critical currency.
