New System Designed to Protect Drones From Cyber Threats | Newswise

[ad_1] Newswise — Adelaide University researchers have initiated the development of a world-first cybersecurity system designed to protect drones from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. A new study led by the Industrial AI Research Centre and published in the international journal Computers and Industrial Engineering, paves the way for safer and more resilient unmanned aerial systems […]

A Molecular Fix for Sodium-Ion Batteries’ Weakest Link | Newswise

[ad_1] Newswise — As renewable energy deployment accelerates worldwide, large-scale energy storage technologies must become more affordable, safer, and resource-efficient. Sodium-ion batteries stand out because sodium is abundant and inexpensive, yet their commercialization is hindered by the lack of high-performance anode materials. Hard carbon is widely regarded as the most promising anode candidate, but its […]

Researchers Decode Bacterial Energy Production, Paving the Way for Future Antibiotics | Newswise

[ad_1] Many disease-causing bacteria — including pathogens that can cause cholera, meningitis, and certain types of pneumonia — contain an enzyme called Na⁺-NQR. The enzyme is essentially a pump that helps bacteria generate energy by moving sodium ions across their cell membranes while transferring electrons.   Crucially, the enzyme is present in many types of harmful […]

Produce Hydrogen and Oxygen Simultaneously From a Single Atom! Achieve Carbon Neutrality with an ‘All-in-One’ Single-Atom Water Electrolysis Catalyst | Newswise

[ad_1] Newswise — Green hydrogen production technology, which utilizes renewable energy to produce eco-friendly hydrogen without carbon emissions, is gaining attention as a core technology for addressing global warming. Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis, a process that separates hydrogen and oxygen by applying electrical energy to water, requiring low-cost, high-efficiency, high-performance catalysts. The Korea […]

Mantle Plume Versus Plate Tectonics | Newswise

[ad_1] Newswise — Around 56 million years ago, Europe and North America began pulling apart to form what became the ever-expanding North Atlantic Ocean. Vast amounts of molten rock from Earth’s mantle reached the ocean floor as the crust stretched and thinned, creating a volcanic rifted margin between Norway and Greenland, a marine feature that […]

How to Design Fatigue Resistance, Make Metal Alloys More Durable, Sustainable | Newswise

[ad_1] Newswise — Illinois Grainger engineers have identified a fundamental deformation mechanism that can be leveraged to greatly enhance the fatigue properties of metals, opening the door to a new strategy for designing fatigue-resistant alloys. Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called “fatigue” when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known […]

KRICT Demonstrates 100kg per day Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production from Landfill Gas | Newswise

[ad_1] Newswise — The aviation industry accounts for a significant share of global carbon emissions. In response, the international community is expanding mandatory use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which is produced from organic waste or biomass and is expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fossil-based jet fuel. However, high production […]

Elevated Lead Levels Could Flow From Some US Drinking Water Kiosks | Newswise

[ad_1] Newswise — After high-profile water crises like the one in Flint, Michigan, some Americans distrust the safety of tap water, choosing to purchase drinking water from freestanding water vending machines or kiosks. Yet this more expensive water may contain different pollutants than local tap water, according to a study in ACS’ Environmental Science & […]
