In the last month, scientists were shocked when a research station in Antarctica reported surprising warm weather.  The temperature at Concordia Research station atop Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau surged to -11.5 degrees Celsius on March 18. While the normal high temperature for the day remains around -49 degrees[Read More…]

MIT’s mini cheetah has taught itself how to run. The engineers behind this creation released a video showing off its new skills. Engineers updated the way the cheetah ran, using using AI simulations instead of a human-designed controller. This has allowed it to better navigate tougher terrain and even break[Read More…]

Scientists in Saudi Arabia developed a solar-powered system that successfully draws water from the air while producing electricity using a novel hydrogel.  A WEC2P system consists of a solar photovoltaic panel mounted on top of a layer of hydrogel, which is mounted on top of a large metal box to[Read More…]

Oil and water, known to be immiscible due to different densities make it harder to separate them. Though, scientists might have found an unsuspecting solution that transforms oil so it can be dissolved in water.  A team of researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) set out to understand where much of[Read More…]
