Boeing, the aviation giant, is facing a fresh legal reckoning more than five years after two fatal 737 MAX crashes. The company has come under scrutiny by prosecutors who claim that Boeing violated an earlier settlement related to the disasters. Sources revealed that Boeing had until Friday night to decide whether to accept a proposal

Carbon capture and storage technology has long been considered a crucial step towards reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. However, one of the major challenges in this field has been the development of efficient catalysts that can convert captured carbon into valuable products. A recent discovery by University of Toronto Engineering researchers may have

The transport sector in Australia is currently the third-largest source of emissions, and it is also the fastest-growing. In fact, without intervention, it is projected to become the leading source of emissions by the year 2030. The recent increase in transport emissions by 3.6% from 2022 to 2023 is a concerning trend, especially when considering

Motor vehicle crashes are a significant cause of death and injury for teenagers in the United States. One of the main reasons for these crashes is driver error. Research has shown that young driver training before granting licenses can help lower crash rates among teens. However, a new paper published in JAMA Network Open reveals

Boeing, a major aerospace company, recently faced criticism from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for violating investigative regulations regarding an ongoing probe of an aviation incident. The NTSB harshly criticized Boeing for sharing non-public investigative information with the media and speculating about the potential causes of the incident. As a result of this breach,

In a world where access to clean, safe water is becoming increasingly limited, researchers have been exploring innovative solutions to meet the growing demands for water, especially in arid regions. While local bodies of water have traditionally been the primary source of water, even dry areas have a small amount of water vapor in the

Siemens, the German industrial giant, has embarked on an ambitious urban development project in the historic area of Berlin known as Siemensstadt. With a staggering investment of 4.5 billion euros, this initiative aims to revitalize the district and create a vibrant living and working environment for thousands of people. A Vision for Siemensstadt Square The

The collaboration between NASA’s Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) and International Business Machines (IBM) has resulted in the development of INDUS, a revolutionary suite of large language models (LLMs) specifically designed for Earth science, biological and physical sciences, heliophysics, planetary sciences, and astrophysics domains. This collaboration signifies a major leap forward in utilizing

Artificial intelligence systems have become an integral part of our daily lives, impacting decisions ranging from job applications to healthcare diagnoses. However, these systems are not immune to biases, which can result in unfair outcomes. An Oregon State University doctoral student, Eric Slyman, along with researchers at Adobe, have developed a novel training technique called

Vision loss and visual impairment have always posed a significant challenge for the well-being of individuals, especially in an aging population. However, recent advancements in technology have paved the way for groundbreaking devices that are changing the game for visually impaired individuals. In a collaborative effort between researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU)

The realm of electronics engineering and materials science has been on a constant quest to discover materials that can push the boundaries of electronic performance beyond the constraints imposed by silicon-based transistors. Among the various materials being explored, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have emerged as highly promising candidates. Their atomically thin structure and high carrier mobilities

A group claiming to have hacked CDK Global, a software provider to thousands of car dealerships in North America, has demanded tens of millions of dollars in ransom. Following the breach and shutdown of systems on June 19, chaos has unfolded at many of the roughly 15,000 car dealerships that rely on CDK’s services. The

The research conducted by Pauline Costes and her team on the trunk strength of African savannah elephants revealed some fascinating details about the capabilities of this incredible appendage. Contrary to popular belief, the trunk of an elephant is not just a tool for lifting and carrying objects. It serves a multitude of purposes, from eating
