The hybrid electric plane from MIT intercepts its own pollutants

The transition to alternative propulsion technologies can take years, especially in the case of aviation, so researchers at MIT have developed a technology that may be a good temporary solution. The engineers responsible for developing this system believe they can reduce harmful NOx emissions by as much as 95% by capturing and trapping it in a special element in the cargo hold while avoiding 92% of premature deaths caused by them. Because it should be remembered that it is a huge source of air pollution, which is associated with many diseases, such as asthma, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have shown that 16,000 people die prematurely as a result of their emissions by international aviation around the world.

Be sure to see this beautiful panorama of the Martian mountains made by the Curiosity rover

The latest panorama was taken at a site named by scientists Glen Torridon. Currently, the Curiosity rover has started the most difficult climb of Mount Sharp in its career. Every now and then, the robot drills into the ground. In this way, scientists want to check if there are any signs that there were any forms of life here.

A breakthrough in male contraception. Now they will be in control of the situation

How is it possible that the contraceptive pill for women has been with us since 1960, because then the famous Enovid appeared in American pharmacies, and the creation of its counterpart for men has still not been successful? There are many different factors for this, but it may change soon, because the latest information from researchers at the University of Edinburgh and the hospitals managed by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust looks really optimistic and suggests that this time it may be successful. Although it is rather a pill equivalent, because scientists first of all focus on ... a gel based on male testosterone and female segesterone acetate, rubbed on the shoulders and shoulders.

Elon Musk encourages people to abandon Facebook and take an interest in Signal

Every day Elon Musk is observed on social networking sites by nearly 50 million people. He is one of the most popular people in the technology industry in the world. After Donald Trump's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter profiles were blocked, and rival sites were removed by Google and Amazon, Musk tweeted a short message saying "Use Signal".

The Juno probe will not burn in Jupiter's atmosphere in July. NASA has new and interesting plans

Juno's mission was to end in July. The device was supposed to enter the frighteningly dynamic atmosphere of Jupiter and burn it up. During this event, the probe was to study this mysterious space and provide us with extremely valuable data. Thanks to them, we were to unravel many mysteries related to the functioning of this would-be star.

The Americans will build a solar farm in orbit and send energy to Earth

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe Pentagon is to use the enormous potential that lies in space in terms of obtaining energy from the Sun and using it to power space installations and those located on Earth. The idea is not new, but now we can finally make it happen. The experiments will take place in 2 years.

Artificial intelligence discovered new craters on the moon and counted all existing ones

Scientists recently developed an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm to detect new ones and count all craters on the surface of the Silver Globe. It was not an easy task, as the engineers first had to train the system to find and identify craters. It turns out, however, that the results exceeded the expectations of scientists.

This technology-packed wristband flawlessly detects user gestures

Image recognition systems not only require that the user's hands are clearly visible to them at all times, but also raise some privacy controversies, especially if the user's face appears in the video material. Electronic gloves are most often uncomfortable, easy to damage and simply impractical in many situations. In short, scientists thinking about the further development of such areas as gesture control of electronic devices, virtual reality or prosthetic hands must make much more effort.
