A new mechanochemical method extracts 95% of lithium from spent batteries while also trapping carbon dioxide and creating high-performance catalysts for green hydrogen.

A new electric aircraft from CASC has completed its maiden flight in China. The new vehicle is a split-type electric aircraft, featuring detachable modules that allow it to transition between air and road travel.

A team of researchers at MIT has created microscopic devices that perform machine-learning math using only the heat already present in electronics, achieving over 99% accuracy.

The YH-1000S, a hybrid unmanned cargo aircraft which combines fuel and electric propulsion to boost range, has completed its maiden flight in Chongqing, China.

The 10,000-ton Ning Yuan Dian Kun is testing its massive battery system and autonomous navigation capabilities off the coast of Shanghai, marking a major breakthrough for green short-sea shipping.

A new wireless device harvests energy from body movement to stimulate healing in severe muscle injuries, then dissolves completely to avoid follow-up surgery.

A new self-powering, capsule-sized device harvests energy from heartbeats, potentially eliminating the need for battery replacement surgeries, slashing costs for patients and removing inconveniences.

A new robotic system developed in China has successfully performed delicate retinal injections in animal trials, demonstrating superior precision to human hands and paving the way for safer treatments of complex vision disorders.

Deal | Humble Bundle has added a new package to its current collection of game bundles — Sci-Fi Shooters 2.0. The new bundle is full of sci-fi shooters. It is selling for $20 and will expire on February 24, 2025.

A new exploration-adventure game just hit Steam. It launched on January 29 and has had a good reception so far, receiving about 5,000 reviews, with 94% of these reviews being positive.

DIY enthusiast Benjamn Biggs has once again reclaimed his position — setting a new speed record for battery-powered remote-controlled drones. This marks the second time he has taken the crown from engineers Mike and Luke Bell.

Two powerful NASA observatories looked deeply into a patch of sky and found a galaxy cluster forming only about one billion years after the Big Bang. Scientists never expected to find something as massive as a galaxy cluster at such an early time in the universe’s existence.

Using its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope peered into a region for a total of about 255 hours. This exceptionally long observation allowed astronomers to trace dark matter by studying how its gravity distorts and influences the light from distant galaxies.

New simulations performed on a NASA supercomputer provided the most comprehensive details into the chaotic environment around rapidly rotating neutron stars before they merge.

NASA scientists may have found the driving force that sculpts a kind of aurora called auroral arcs. To make their findings, the scientists had to search through archives of past observations of the eye-catching phenomenon.

Deal | Fallout 76 — a survival open-world RPG — is now free to try on Steam until February 5. It is also on sale currently at $7.99, an 80% reduction from the official price tag of $39.99.

An improved AI model by NASA scientists dug into TESS data and found 7,000 possible exoplanets on just its initial run. The model which has proven to be effective is available to the public via GitHub, meaning anyone can hunt for planets themselves.

New NASA research provided evidence that the amount of water supplied to Earth by meteorites may not have been significant. The researchers discovered this using a novel method for studying the Moon’s surface.

Deal | Humble Bundle just added a new game bundle packed with racing games to its current collection of game bundles. This new bundle is only redeemable on Steam and will expire on February 19, 2026.
