Fluoride batteries are coming. — Artificial intelligence is revolutionising almost every industry on Earth. From optimising farms, to inventing new drugs, to even convincing engineers they are alive, AI is rapidly changing every aspect of our lives. In fact, a team from the University of North Carolina is now using AI to develop the ultimate…

SpaceX needs to change to get their launch licence, which could impact their future plans. — Right now in Texas, a truly gigantic rocket known as Starship is ready to take off. This behemoth isn’t just revolutionary; it will be an era-defining achievement for mankind. Mars missions, moon bases, massive solar system probes, temporary space stations, and new-age satellites will all come to fruition thanks to…

And it could change everything. — As the world transitions to EV cars, many have wondered why we don’t just strap a load of solar panels to their bonnets. This would boost their range, reduce the need to charge, and could even allow people to power their cars entirely for free! Well, at Lightyear, a team…

Rockets will never be environmentally friendly — We know we must be living through a revolutionary time in history when billionaires are the ones pushing the frontiers of space rather than the government. For the most part, these billionaires seem to be doing an incredible job. Access to space has never been so cheap and widely available…

Ecologically positive energy is 100% possible if we engineer it to be. — At first glance, you might think the ocean is an isolated world from the hustle and bustle of regular human life. But in reality, our lives are irrevocably linked to the seas. The ocean absorbs and stores over a third of our carbon emissions through vast amounts of photosynthesis, meaning…

And it could finally unlock this elusive planet-saving power. — Nuclear fusion has the potential to be world-changing. We take the most abundant element in the universe, pop it in a giant machine, and out comes a tonne of energy and some helium. No carbon dioxide, no nuclear waste, and no need to take up vast swathes of land with…

Buried in high-security vaults lies the perfect solution to carbon-neutral energy — Nuclear waste is a controversial topic. The public perception of it resembles a Simpsons-like glowing green blob that gives fish three eyes and could easily be let out into the world by a single feckless technician. But in reality, this waste doesn’t actually glow green and isn’t even that dangerous…

Can we kill two birds with one stone? — Plastic pollution isn’t just annoying, it is deadly to pretty much every organism on Earth. From beer six-pack rings strangling turtles to microplastics in our drinking water, it is poisoning, killing, and maiming billions of creatures annually. Yet we are still producing a whopping 381 million tonnes of the stuff…

It’s eco-friendly, has a long lifespan and can fully charges in eight minutes. Natron’s new battery will change the game. — The eco revolution is in full swing. Electric vehicles (EVs) are flying off dealer’s lots faster than they can be manufactured. Solar and wind farms are cropping up everywhere, with giant grid-level batteries to store their fantastically clean energy. But there is a problem, and it could derail this entire…
