Imagine that we've all—all of us, all of society—landed on some alien planet, and we have to form a government: clean slate. We don't have any legacy systems from the U.S. or any other country. We don't have any special ...
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries power smartphones, electric vehicles and storage for solar and wind energy, among other technologies.
Lakes worldwide are grappling with the effects of eutrophication, such as algal blooms, primarily due to excessive nitrogen and phosphorus. The detrimental environmental effects of anthropogenic activities and climate change ...
Planes, trains, automobiles… and spacecraft. While all four of these transportation innovations rely on fuel for power, another key component is thermal management. Without controlling the distribution and flow of heat ...
Aging is an inevitable phenomenon in the process of life, accompanied by the deterioration of physiological functions and increased susceptibility to diseases.
Young people around the world—including Australia—will feel the fallout of the COVID pandemic for years to come, say the University of the Sunshine Coast researchers behind a new global resource to support them.
