-(Natural News) European researchers have developed an improved diesel engine that’s more eco-friendly and efficient than current models, paving the way for greener and fuel-efficient vehicles. During a project meeting held in Austria, the researchers said that the new engine uses less fuel and emits 80 percent fewer contaminating particles than the current legal limits. Developing eco-friendly, efficient diesel engine The DiePeR […]

-(Natural News) For a while now, scientists have been looking into the use of nanomaterials as a way to clean water. The idea is that nanofilters made from these materials would be able to remove even the smallest impurities and contaminants in water. In a recent study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry, a team led by researchers […]

-(Natural News) A team of physicists from the University of Arkansas (U of A) has successfully developed graphene-based circuits capable of providing nearly limitless power for small devices. Described in a paper published in the journal Physical Review E, the findings prove a theory the physicists developed at the U of A three yeas ago. This theory stated that […]

-(Natural News) Researchers from the University of Houston (UH) have unveiled a new air filter that could help fight the coronavirus pandemic. As detailed in an article published in the journal Materials Today Physics, the “catch and kill” device successfully killed 99.8 percent of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 — the Wuhan coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 — in a single pass through […]

-(Natural News) Propellant is one of the most important things that any spacecraft needs to carry – without it, a spacecraft will be unable to move or change course. This is why spacecraft tend to carry a lot of it on board. Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical […]

-(Natural News) The world’s first solar-powered railway line is in working order in the United Kingdom. Its innovators conducted a pilot test using Network Rail’s Wessex route and deemed the technology fully functional. The Wessex route was directly powered by solar energy supplied by a nearby solar farm near the town of Aldershot, Hampshire county. Solar power has been used before to power train. […]
