In chip factories, there's a big problem. Two gases, ethyl acetate and ozone, are often found together. Ethyl acetate is in high amounts, while ozone is in low amounts. Getting rid of both at the same time is tough. But now, there's a new way to do it. Scientists used a special material called Cu-B
Scientists have found a way to make more d-limonene using yeast. This compound is useful in many areas like pest control, food, and medicine. The team started with a type of yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They wanted to make it produce more d-limonene. First, they looked at the enzyme that
In a big step forward for environmental science, a team of researchers from Alabama, Delaware, and South Carolina have teamed up to tackle a growing problem: "forever chemicals. " These chemicals, known as PFAS, are tough to break down and can cause serious health issues. Dr. Yu Lei from the Univers
Michaela Benthaus, a 33-year-old German engineer, made history by becoming the first wheelchair user to cross the Kármán Line, the boundary marking the edge of outer space. This groundbreaking journey took place aboard a Blue Origin New Shepard capsule, launching from Texas on a Saturday morning. Th

In the world of super-tiny tech, scientists have created a new kind of switch that's not only super small but also super fast. This switch is made up of layers of special materials, like carbon nanotubes and something called monolayer WS2 and MoS2. These materials are stacked on top of each other, c
In June 2015, SpaceX faced a major setback when their Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon cargo mission for NASA disintegrated mid-flight. This incident, known as the CRS-7 failure, was a significant blow to the company, especially since it had been on a roll with successful launches and lucrative con
Heat is tricky. It spreads out in all directions, making it tough to control. Unlike light or sound, heat doesn't travel in neat lines. Until now, managing heat has meant using thick insulation or big, bulky materials. But a new study shows a smarter way to handle heat. Scientists have found a way
Freezing stuff without damaging it is a big deal. Think about ice cream. If it melts and refreezes, it gets all grainy. Now imagine that happening to cells or even organs. Not good, right? Scientists have been working on ways to freeze and thaw things without causing damage. They've come up with som
A young mind from New York City has shown that paper folding is not just a hobby; it's a gateway to innovation. At just 14 years old, Miles Wu has made waves by demonstrating that a carefully folded sheet of paper can support an astonishing amount of weight. His project, which involved testing vario
