Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a computational model that can be used to determine the optimal places for locating electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities, as well as how powerful the charging stations can be without placing an undue burden on the local power grid. “Ultimately, we feel the model can be used […]
IT’S FAIRLY STANDARD practice to hook up a laptop to a larger display at home or at the office, but what’s less common is to use a laptop as the second screen—even though it’s not difficult to set up and can be just as much of a productivity boost. If you have both a desktop computer and a […]

From appearances, it’s a Pixel 7 Pro, which Redditor AMC20_ says was listed as a Pixel 6 Pro without a box. It is not, in fact, a Pixel 6 Pro. Google’s phones have […]
North Carolina State University researchers found they could filter carbon dioxide from air and gas mixtures at promising rates using a proposed new textile-based filter that combines cotton fabric and an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase—one of nature’s tools for speeding chemical reactions The findings from initial laboratory testing represent a step forward in the development […]
If you’re thinking about installing solar panels, you’ll want as much sunlight to reach those panels as possible. Whether it’s because of placement, obstacles like trees, or conditions like cloud cover, it’s reasonable to wonder if solar panels are worth the investment if they won’t directly face the sun at all times. The truth is, […]
Republicans this week introduced a road map describing how they would mitigate rising gasoline prices and address climate change if the party wins control of the House of Representatives in the November midterms.
