Meta's landmark settlement with nearly every U.S. state promises curfews and time limits for teens on Instagram and Facebook—but rests on age and parent checks nobody has figured out how to make work.
In medical applications, performance begins at the material level. Whether used in implantable devices, diagnostic tools, or surgical instruments, materials are required to meet stringent standards for biocompatibility and structural integrity. Consistent material properties enable stable processing and component performance, forming a reliable foundation for downstream device manufacturing and validation. As healthcare systems become more ... Read More
To mitigate climate change and limit global warming to within 1.5°C, scaling up global renewable energy capacity is an important goal. However, the transition to clean energy faces significant resource constraints.
Dutch students on Friday celebrated a successful trial in Kenya of what they say is the world's first solar-powered ambulance, hoping to bring vital medical care to remote regions.
As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, the disposal of spent EV batteries is emerging as a major social and environmental challenge. Wastewater generated during conventional battery recycling processes can contain high concentrations of heavy metals, posing risks of soil and groundwater contamination.

A new study challenges one of the most deeply rooted assumptions in civil engineering: that using recycled materials in structural concrete inevitably means sacrificing strength. Researchers from Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral, in collaboration with the University of Surrey, have demonstrated that recycled aggregates can be incorporated into concrete without compromising performance—provided certain technical limits are respected. The findings are published in the journal Construction and Building Materials.
