    Big, long-range electric passenger aircraft seem elusive and unattainable with current technology. Today’s batteries are still too heavy for airplane use; add more of them, and you’ll need even more powerful motors to take off. Efficiency suffers, too. Consequently, all-electric powertrains have only been proposed for small eVTOLs — until now.  Namely, Swedish startup Heart […]

    Annealing is the process of heating a metal piece to increase its ductility and at the same time reduce its hardness, essentially making it more workable. However, during this process, atoms migrate in the crystal lattice, and the number of dislocations decreases, so the piece is undergoing permanent changes as it cools and fully recrystallizes. […]

    Did you know that over 80% of ocean plastic ends up there from 1,000 rivers? Rivers pass through the land where polluting human activity takes place, and inevitably, carry waste to the sea. While the cleaning of the oceans remains crucially important, stopping the problem at its root is even more urgent. Meet the “Interceptor”, […]
