While it's certainly important to monitor the condition of paved roads, keeping an eye on the surface will only tell you so much. You also need to know what's going on with the underlying asphalt, which is where an embedded layer of electronic fabric
Julian Brown says he uses a process called microwave pyrolysis, powered by solar panels, to convert plastic into fuel. The vaporized petroleum is condensed back into liquid crude oil, which Brown says can then be refined into gasoline, diesel and jet

Until now, holograms have been created using lasers, but now researchers have used a new ensemble of components that could unleash this technology on the market.
Precision milling has always been locked behind a "members only" sign – giant machines that take up massive warehouse space, cost more than your first car, and hum like an old air compressor 24 hours a day.
Horse Powertrain wasn't the only automotive supplier showing an efficiently packaged range-extender engine system at this year's IAA Mobility Munich show, which wrapped up over the weekend.
Battery powered devices could be simpler (and cheaper) than vehicles with engines; the fact that they're neither is precisely why they don't "work" – and so rely on being pushed by the government. It being always necessary to push that whic
For decades, the electric motor has been the backbone of countless industries--powering everything from heavy industrial machinery to the everyday appliances in our homes. Since the 1930s, traditional motors have proven to be reliable, durable, and
BMW's Plant Steyr is preparing for series production of fuel cell systems, with prototypes of a third-generation hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) system now in testing. Full-scale production is planned for 2028.
Porsche has brought a fluorescent-painted prototype to Internationale Automobil Ausstellung (IAA) Mobility to showcase inductive EV charging. The production-ready system will be an option on a new, all-electric version of the Porsche Cayenne.
Consumer 3D printers definitely have their uses, but they're typically limited to printing rigid objects … and doing so pretty slowly. The Saltgator, on the other hand, allows you to crank out rubbery injection-molded items in a claimed 10 minutes.
"EVs are green, EVs are environmentally-friendly," blah, blah, blah … That may be true, but who needs a Tesla supercharger when you can simply fill your motorcycle with some leftover restaurant grease and happily chug along the road?
That's exactly what engineers at Zhejiang University in China have created: a paper-thin cooling film that reflects 95% of sunlight while radiating absorbed heat straight into outer space.
