Tesla is making a big change. They are stopping production of their Model S and X cars. These cars have been around for a while. The Model S came out in 2012, and the Model X followed in 2015. Now, Tesla wants to use the space where these cars are made to build something new: robots. Elon Musk, the
The world of robotics is buzzing with a new player. A startup called Fauna has introduced Sprout, a small humanoid robot designed to fit seamlessly into our daily lives. Unlike the big, bulky robots you see in factories, Sprout is made to be safe and friendly, perfect for homes, schools, and offices
Nanoplastics are tiny bits of plastic that are causing big problems in water environments. They often get weathered by the sun, making them even more harmful. Fish, which can usually heal their tails pretty well, are now struggling because of these aged nanoplastics. Scientists did an experiment wi
MXene, a special kind of material, has been a hot topic in science. It is known for its amazing abilities. But there is a big problem. It tends to break down in water. This breakdown creates a coating that ruins its performance. This makes it hard to use in real-world applications. Scientists have
AI is stepping up to tackle a big problem in green technology. Scientists have long known that tiny microbes can help create nanomaterials in an eco-friendly way. But with so many microbes and nanomaterials out there, finding the right matches has been like searching for a needle in a haystack. Ent
Methanol is becoming a big deal. By 2031, it could be worth $43 billion. That's a big jump from $34. 16 billion in 2025. Why? Because ships and factories are starting to use it more. Ships love it because it's cleaner and easier to handle than other fuels. In 2024, 166 new ships were ordered to run
In the heart of downtown, a big change is happening. The Center in the Square is asking a museum to leave. Why? Water damage. That's right, water is causing a stir in this historic building. The museum has been a part of the Center for a long time. But now, the building needs repairs. Water damage
Perovskite nanocrystals are tiny particles that show great promise for use in various technologies. They can emit light very efficiently. But there's a catch. They have a problem with something called reabsorption. This is when the light they emit gets absorbed again. This makes them less useful for
In a major leap for optical technology, scientists in Germany have created a light switch that operates at mind-boggling speeds. This new device, made from incredibly thin layers of materials, can switch light on and off 10, 000 times faster than the transistors found in today's electronics. The tea
Stem cells, specifically mesenchymal ones, are like tiny repair kits in the body. They have great potential for healing and regenerating tissues. But there's a big problem: these cells often don't survive well when they are transplanted into a patient. One reason for this is something called anoikis
