Your pricey smartphone can be hit by many security threats, from phishing to malware to spyware. All it takes is one successful attack to clobber your phone, compromise your data, and even steal your identity. So, how do you protect yourself? In a Mobile Device Best Practices report, the National Security Agency (NSA) offers tips […]
A new study led by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) found a large amount of lithium reserves in southwestern Arkansas that could help meet rising demand for lithium in electric vehicle car batteries. USGS worked with the Arkansas Department of Energy and the Environment’s Office of the State Geologist to examine a geological unit known […]
Operating a building is often costly given the price of heating and energy usage, accounting for 37% of global CO2 emissions. As more commercial and mixed-use buildings are constructed across Canada, using sustainable energy measures to manage their environmental impact is vital to the health of our planet. University of Waterloo researchers have now developed […]
Researchers said in a recent article that Arkansas may have 19 million tons of lithium, which is used in rechargeable batteries for important products like phones and electric cars. The researchers said in their article released last month in the journal Science Advances they had “calculated that there are 5.1 to 19 million tons of […]
Misinformation about wind energy—such as “turbines are harmful to health and are economically inefficient”—undermines the social acceptance of wind power. However, these statements are widespread and met with great approval. More than a quarter of respondents in representative studies involving the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart agree with a variety of misinformation. This mainly depends […]
As artificial intelligence continues to redefine industries, few regions are embracing its potential as rapidly as the UAE and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

Smartwatches are packed with so many helpful features that allow you to access convenient, on-the-go notifications, fitness tracking essentials and your favorite apps. But these can quickly drain your battery — not ideal when you’re training or away from home. Fortunately, there are ways to boost the juice you get on many of the best […]
In a significant leap forward for electric vehicle (EV) technology, Taiwanese battery tech company ProLogium has revealed its latest breakthrough—a 100% silicon composite anode battery. The company announced the fast-charging battery at the Paris Motor Show, and it could completely revolutionize the state of EV batteries with its energy density and charging rate. As for […]
As the world races to meet net-zero targets, emissions from all industrial sectors must be reduced more urgently than ever. Agriculture is an important area of focus as it contributes up to 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions—almost as much as the energy sector. One approach to decarbonizing the agricultural sector is agrivoltaics. It involves integrating […]
It’s not every day that humans get to walk on the Moon. In fact, it’s been more than 50 years since humans last set foot on the lunar surface, during NASA’s Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Such a momentous occasion as a return to Earth’s dusty gunpowder satellite requires nothing short of the fanciest of […]
