Enhanced 3D vision helped a four-legged robot navigate bumpy terrain

Enhanced 3D vision helped a four-legged robot navigate bumpy terrain

Summary: A novel model has been created by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, that teaches four-legged robots to see in three dimensions more clearly. The development made it possible for a robot to easily and autonomously navigate difficult terrain, including rocky ground, stairways, and paths with gaps.  The scientists will present their findings at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), which will be held in Vancouver, Canada, from June...
Creating an Innovative, Solid, Air Working Battery

Creating an Innovative, Solid, Air Working Battery

Summary: Typically, negative electrodes in batteries are made of active materials like metals. Rechargeable metal-air batteries with oxygen-reducing positive electrodes have recently used redox-active organic compounds, such as quinone- and amine-based molecules, as negative electrodes. Here, the redox reactions involve protons and hydroxide ions. These batteries operate well and are almost at their theoretical maximum capacity. Furthermore, using redox-active organic molecules in...
How water pumping change the Earth's surface?

How water pumping change the Earth's surface?

Summary: A recent study found that the Earth tilted about 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) east between 1993 and 2010 due to human activity in extracting water out of the earth and transporting it to other locations. Scientists previously calculated that between 1993 and 2010, humanity pumped 2,150 gigatons of groundwater, or more than 6 millimeters (0.24 inches), of sea level increase, based on climate models. It's challenging to verify that estimate, though. One method involves using...
More than half of the lakes around the world are loosing water

More than half of the lakes around the world are loosing water

Summary: A recent study found that 53 percent of the greatest freshwater lakes on earth are in decline and are now retaining less water than they did thirty years ago. The study measured changes in water levels in roughly 2,000 of the largest lakes and reservoirs in the globe using satellite measurements spanning decades. It was discovered that human consumption, sedimentation, and climate change are to blame . However, the lead author, former CIRES visiting fellow and current climate...

Clean, sustainable fuels made 'from thin air' and plastic waste

No tags added.

Posted on 25 June, 2023 by Charlotte Lee

 Researchers have demonstrated how carbon dioxide can be captured from industrial processes -- or even directly from the air -- and transformed into clean, sustainable fuels using just the energy from the Sun. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, developed a solar-powered reactor that converts captured CO2 and plastic waste into sustainable fuels and other valuable chemical products. In tests, CO2 was converted into syngas, a key building block for sustainable liquid fuels,...
