24M’s SemiSolid battery is a game changer. — Musk’s plan to dominate the EV world was centred on Tesla’s 4680 battery. In theory, it could be one of the cheapest and highest-performance batteries out there, giving Tesla a massive technological advantage. But the reality of manufacturing them has kneecapped Musk’s plans, as they are currently underperforming and comparatively…

From figuring out dark matter to finding the theory of everything, the LCRT could be revolutionary. — Over the years, NASA has pushed the boundaries of space exploration far more than anyone else. This dogged determination to take technological advancements and human tolerances to their limits gave us the Moon landings, the Voyager missions, the Hubble Space Telescope, and now the JWST. However, NASA is currently entering…

Musk has a new plan to reclaim Tesla’s EV dominance. — Tesla has been the near-tyrannical ruler of the EV world ever since it kickstarted the industry over a decade ago. At the time, its cars were cheaper, faster-charging, higher-performing, and way more efficient than anyone else’s, giving them a monstrous lead on the competition. But recently, this status quo has…

Marine cloud brightening could be a climate saviour. — Climate change is beginning to bite, and it can be felt strongest at the poles. In fact, the Arctic is warming up four times quicker than anywhere else. This means we have only a few years, or a decade at most, to save this crucial ecosystem from collapse and the…

Lucid’s unique approach is already crushing Tesla. — In 2012, after fulfilling the role of head engineer for the Tesla Model S, Peter Rawlinson left Tesla. From the sidelines, he watched his creation kickstart an entire industry. But in 2019, Rawlinson was appointed CEO of Lucid Motors, and since then, Lucid has gone from strength to strength. In…

New technology will allow us to extract “gold hydrogen” at super-cheap prices. — In theory, hydrogen should be our clean energy saviour. We can produce it carbon-neutrally via electrolysis (resulting in a substance known as “green hydrogen”), and it can be used to power everything from jets to ships and even cars without a single whiff of emissions. So why aren’t we? Well…

Their power beam demonstrator could spark a renewable revolution. — There are plenty of projects out there aiming to save the world from our self-made climate apocalypse. Consider the multibillion-dollar ITER fusion experiment, which aims to produce carbon-neutral fusion power. But projects like this are moving too slowly, and breakthroughs aren’t happening fast enough. To save the planet and our…

Elon’s “Full Self-Driving” system is far from what he promised. — For nearly a decade, Tesla has been touted as a technology company, not a car company. Why? Well, because all of their cars are equipped with cameras covering every angle around the car. They record every second the vehicle is in use and send the videos back to Tesla. Musk…

A simple redesign is set to allow NIF to start producing energy. — Humanity is struggling to kick its fossil-fuel addiction. Sure, we have wind, solar, and nuclear power as alternatives, but they aren’t perfect. After all, wind and solar power aren’t reliable, and nuclear power creates vast amounts of dangerous nuclear waste. This is where nuclear fusion comes in. You see, fusion…
