The Canada and Manitoba governments are providing up to $500,000 for 12 projects that will increase the use and development of biomass fuels. The program is funded in part through the Manitoba Coal Tax.
One of India’s largest states has announced a comprehensive off-grid solar power policy with a target to add 200 MW capacity over the next five years.
This is seriously cool. American aerospace company Orbital ATK has tested a 3D-printed hypersonic engine combustor, one that could supposedly be used in a high-speed plane known as a scramjet.
For those with type 1 diabetes, regularly injecting themselves with insulin is part and parcel of their daily lives. This form of treatment hasn't advanced much for nearly a century, so it will come as good news that researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are on the verge of a breakthrough.
The eight-room corridor in remote Jadigenahalli is in the midst of a medical revolution. The pilot project for India's experiment with integrated medical care (to combine all systems of medicine) is happening right there in Hoskote taluk 25km from Bengaluru.
Harvard University has been awarded $28 million (£19m) to investigate why brains are so much better at learning and retaining information than artificial intelligence. The award, from the Intelligence Advanced Projects Activity (IARPA), could help make AI systems faster, smarter and more like human brains.
Friday’s launch of the New Shepard rocket in West Texas renewed the tired debate about whether Blue Origin or SpaceX has achieved more in the reusable spaceflight game.
The social media giant is set to open its second data center in Europe with server tech from the Open Compute Project.
Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board for Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz, came back from a recent visit to Silicon Valley with the impression that Google and Apple are farther along with their automotive projects than he had assumed.
This delicate, glowing flower could one day save your life. It’s the latest example of “4D printing” – 3D printed objects that change their shape over time – and it can move in a way that mimics natural processes. Similar materials could find a use in creating replacement organs in our bodies.
When your home’s heating and cooling system allows you to set just one temperature for every room in the house, it can be hard to find a setting that everyone in the household will agree on. Fortunately, smart home climate systems allow users to customize their settings and create the home environment that makes them most comfortable.
As world leaders deliberate the best path to take towards a carbon free energy future, a remote national park on the banks of the Zambezi River in Zambia is leading the way in reducing its reliance on fossil fuels.
Someone hug Interstellar’s science advisor. Just like in the film, a new study finds that a black hole with exactly the right temperature could serve as a cold sun and even support complex lifeforms.
Artificially intelligent robots are only in their infancy, but Davos is already blaming them for the future destruction of jobs, the middle class and even the human race. However, some people at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) think robots are getting an unfair hearing.
A new study suggests that plate tectonics -- the dynamic processes that formed Earth's mountains, volcanoes and continents -- began about 3 billion years ago. By analyzing trace element ratios that correlate to magnesium content in ancient Earth's crust, the researchers provide first-order geochemical evidence for when plate tectonics first got underway.
