Researchers document key processes of photosynthesis

This could eventually lead to improved and cheaper biofuels. In a major breakthrough researchers have for the first time been able to capture the exact set of chemical reactions that make a photosynthesis. The discovery proves that the chemical reactions which strip electrons from water and thus initiate the conversion of solar energy into chemical…

The impending death of manual transmission in the automotive industry

While automatic transmission will dumb down the driving experience, vehicles with manual gears are likely to be prized by connoisseurs for their ability for precision-enabled power driving. The vast majority of cars have always needed manual transmission gears for them to move forward. While in the near future vehicles may require you to keep your…

Antatica’s entire West Antarctica ice sheet likely to collapse within our lifetime

Regardless of whether we are responsible for global warming, or not, it is a real phenomenon threatening our coastal cities. In 2015, when a humongous 225 square mile of ice broke off from Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier, it made scientists ponder what caused such a massive crack. They now have an explanation and you better be…

Scientists from Princeton and DoE inch closer to nuclear fusion

Although researchers have been able to better understand why synapses in a plasma field snaps and reconnect, a few answers are still playing hard to get. A more complete understanding could result in possibly the world’s first nuclear fusion reactor. In a historic development of monumental proportions, researchers from Princeton University and from the U.S.…
