Single-use plastics cause plastic pollution, a problem that affects rivers, lakes, and oceans. To address this concern, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a recycling process that turns various materials made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into other useful products that will last longer. NREL’s research was published in the journal Joule. What is polyethylene terephthalate (PET)? Polyethylene terephthalate … Continue reading Single-use no more: Plastic bottles can be upcycled to more durable materials

Future weapons: DARPA seeking innovative designs for insect-sized robots to compete in a series of tactical competitions
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is keeping itself busy these days trying to develop an army of ultra-powerful robot “warriors” to do it’s totalitarian bidding on the world stage. According to new reports, the Department of Defense (DOD) agency has requested that developers present their best, bug-sized robots, purportedly for use in an … Continue reading Future weapons: DARPA seeking innovative designs for insect-sized robots to compete in a series of tactical competitions
5G tech fast-tracked to get pushed into our homes by next year
For tech junkies, the arrival of 5G can’t come soon enough — but for all those concerned about environmental and public health, it’s a soon-to-be health disaster looming overhead. As the wireless industry competes to see who can roll out a 5G network the fastest, it seems the days of 5G are coming closer and … Continue reading 5G tech fast-tracked to get pushed into our homes by next year
Citizens protest against 5G technology installation and its health hazards
Concerned by the unknown side effects of 5G technology, people are demanding their local officials take a good, long, hard look at the health risks posed by the upcoming wireless communication network, according to a GreenMedInfo.com article. The term “5G” is short for “5th generation wireless systems.” Up to 100 times faster than their 4G predecessors, they … Continue reading Citizens protest against 5G technology installation and its health hazards
Video game orbital lasers come to life: Chinese engineers propose to zap space debris out of orbit with giant lasers
After decades of sending rockets and satellites into space, low Earth orbit has since become polluted with all manner of orbital debris. Also known as space junk, it’s believed that there are well over 170 million pieces of orbital debris circling the earth, all of which are fragments of missions onto space. Currently, space agencies … Continue reading Video game orbital lasers come to life: Chinese engineers propose to zap space debris out of orbit with giant lasers
