One of the many ways that climate change is impacting our environment is by altering our food system. Food waste is one of the most common types of pollution created in the world, and it’s costlier to create than just about any other type of environmental impact. A recent study found that minimizing food waste could help save up to 1.3 million metric tons each year, or enough energy to power 3 million homes for a year!
One of the most iconic companies in the world is technology giant, Apple. Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Apple has become a
Rogers has a plan for Nest that will take it through phases of growth. The first phase will see the company focus on improving its firmware and appliances, while the second phase will see it focus on building out an ecosystem of services. The third phase will see it expand into new markets, and finally, in the fourth and final phase, Nest may launch its own products. Rogers is adamant that he isn’t selling so quickly to Google because he wants to be able to keep his hand in all aspects of Nest’s development.
Rogers’ kitchen trash can is a clever way to address food waste, which accounts for 6% to 8% of all greenhouse gas emissions. By dehydrating and grinding food until it resembles dried coffee grounds, Mill Industries’ bin sends scraps off to be turned into chicken feed. This novel technology not only helps reduce waste but also creates new ways to use discarded ingredients, keeping them out of landfills and contributing towards sustainability.
Netflix has made its trademark original programming available to watch on devices other than TVs. The company’s offerings include television series, movies, and documentaries. Netflix provides a selection of content for different tastes and audiences, making it convenient to watch what you want when you want.
From behind the wheel of his car, Guillermo Legaria Schweizer watches as a group of protestors march down the busy avenue. He feels compelled to take a picture, but worrysthat he might get in trouble. Moments later,
There is a growing awareness of the water challenges facing industrial facilities. Membrion’s ceramic membrane has the ability to filter out heavy metals like lead, arsenic and lithium, which would make it a valuable resource for these plants. The startup is hoping to raise funding from investors in order to scale up its production and bring its product to market.
One interesting note about the Tesla Model S is that it has some of the longest range of any electric car. This means that people who live in areas with a significant recharging infrastructure, such as urban areas with numerous charging stations
Ironically, Britishvolt’s failure may have been inevitable; the gigafactory was always a risky investment, and it is likely that the startup was never able to overcome significant financing challenges. Consequently, the battery manufacturing business is likely to remain largely automotive-focused for the foreseeable future.
This recent event in the U.K. highlights how important it is for countries to have strong domestic battery industries in order to keep up with global competition. A123 Systems’ fall in the early 2000s was a huge blow to the American electrical industry, and there was a lot of time for companies like Regenetech and other innovators to come up with new technologies that could replace the batteries A123 depended on. But there’s a good chance that if this latest development had happened 10 years ago, Britain’s battery industry would remain behind its European competitors and we may never have heard of A123 again.
In the early days of spaceflight, the challenges were immense. Nearly everything about what humans were doing in outer space was new, from the technology to how astronauts should
When NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance was launched in 2011, the technology involved was largely uncharted waters for the space agency. With a goal of exploring and eventually settling the Red Planet, Perseverance embodied some of the most ambitious forward-thinking ideas in space technology history. And it seems that those interventions may soon prove their worth back on Earth too.
Just last month, researchers from MIT announced that they had successfully used off-the-shelf parts and software to build a functioning miniature version of Perseverance’s robotic arm3 – an accomplishment which could pave the way for vastly improved machines capable of performing hazardous tasks or even autonomous navigation on other worlds. “This work is a milestone because it demonstrates how one can design an end effector [a tool used to interact with objects], have it fabricated and operated electrically, open its control software
The company’s carbon-oxygen battery promises to store electricity for long periods of time at fairly low cost. The battery would be used on Earth to help alleviate the energy crisis, and it could also be used on Mars to produce oxygen. This innovative technology could have a wide array of applications on our planet, and could even help us explore new Worlds orbiting other stars.
The allure of the deep sea has always been enigmatic to us. From movies and books, we have a general idea of what awaits us down there,
Sealing is predicting how much energy a retrofit will save for homeowners and converting the up-front installation costs into billing based on the savings. They are excited about the increasing number of incentives that are available to help homeowners with energy efficiency upgrades, and believe that Sealed can provide solutions for everyone from small, one-time investments to complete home retrofits.
Sealed’s acquisition of InfiSense is a move that makes sense given the company’s reliance on data. InfiSense’s sensors will help Sealed customers monitor both energy use and indoor air quality, making it a valuable addition to the Sealed product lineup.
