MIT engineers have created a “supercapacitor” made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon…
Rogue waves are abnormally large, unpredictable, and suddenly appearing surface waves that can be incredibly dangerous to even large ships. Extreme waves can be generated…
“Eventually, we will need to find a way to increase the supply of freshwater as conservation and recycled water from existing sources, albeit essential, will…
The researchers found that adding denitrifying bacteria can improve the compressive strength and tensile splitting strength by 30.3% and 20.3%, respectively. The addition of denitrifying…
