TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media platform, has once again found itself in the center of a heated debate, this time due to the debut of US President Joe Biden on the platform. The video, posted during the Super Bowl, was aimed at reaching younger voters and featured a reference to a popular Biden alter-ego meme.
The current generation of lithium-ion batteries has revolutionized the way we power our devices, but it’s not without its flaws. From slow charging speeds to limited battery life, these batteries have their shortcomings. However, recent research conducted at the Florida State University has given hope for a more efficient and safer alternative – solid-state batteries.
Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur behind companies like Tesla and SpaceX, has been facing legal challenges regarding his $55.8 billion pay package as CEO of Tesla. Following a recent ruling in a Delaware court that struck down the package, Musk’s brain implant company, Neuralink, has decided to move its legal corporate home from Delaware to
The production of hydrogen (H2) using solar energy or other renewable energy sources has the potential to be a sustainable and environmentally friendly method. However, most photoelectrochemical water splitting systems developed so far have been inefficient, unstable, or difficult to implement on a large-scale. In a recent study published in Nature Energy, researchers at Ulsan
OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, is on a mission to revolutionize the global semiconductor industry. According to the Wall Street Journal, Altman has been engaging in discussions with potential investors, including the UAE government. His goal is to address critical challenges faced by the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence (AI) sector, such as the scarcity of expensive
Disney recently announced higher than expected profit in the last quarter of 2021, demonstrating its ability to adapt to the shifting landscape from traditional television to streaming. The entertainment giant reported a net income of $2.15 billion on revenue of $23.5 billion, which is similar to the amount generated during the same period the previous
The advancement in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and healthcare may have stolen the show at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2024, but it is battery technology that lies at the heart of these groundbreaking innovations. The focus on battery technology is especially prominent in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), where researchers are striving for
A novel approach to address environmental challenges is developing and commercializing robust hydrogen fuel cells. These fuel cells contain a polymer electrolyte membrane that acts as a barrier between the electrodes. While the membrane conducts protons, it inhibits the movement of electrons, hydrogen molecules, and oxygen molecules. However, the repetitive deformation of the membrane over
The stability of the electric grid is an ongoing concern as the world increasingly relies on intermittent renewable power sources. In recent years, scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have made significant progress in predicting grid stability using signals from pumped storage hydropower projects. This article delves into their
The airline manufacturing industry is currently grappling with various challenges that are causing delays and disruptions in aircraft production. Two major players in this sector, Boeing and Airbus, are facing supply chain constraints, which are affecting their ability to deliver aircraft on schedule. While Boeing is dealing with the aftermath of the 737 MAX crisis,
In recent years, engineers and chemists have been dedicating their efforts to advancing battery technologies in order to meet the increasing demands of the electronics industry. One of the promising developments in the field is the emergence of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), ASSBs consist of a solid electrolyte positioned between two
