RetroHandhelds has noticed that SJGAM is preparing to release another retro gaming handheld. For context, the company introduced the M25 last month, which shamelessly bandwagoned on the popularity of the PlayStation Portal (curr. $199 on Amazon). SJGAM is no stranger to selling devices that resemble their contemporaries though, of which the M19 is another example.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Despite all-electric vehicles having certain advantages over conventional combustion automobiles, they also have some clear drawbacks that have stifled their adoption rate on some of the world’s largest markets. Solid-state batteries are supposed to close the gap between the two and are allegedly approaching mass-market applications. However, we’ve been hearing a lot about them for years with the relevant voices citing little in the way of tangible progress.

Do You Believe Solid-State Batteries Are Really Right Around the Corner?

If this technology proves to be more efficient and cost-effective on an industrial scale, it could lead to the construction of more offshore wind farms. The offshore wind industry seems to be constantly innovating, and the Danish company Ørsted has recently developed a method for installing turbine foundations that could revolutionize the industry. According to Renewable Energy Magazine, the new method will be more efficient and cost-effective, and it will make certain steps currently taken to protect marine life unnecessary.

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!. A team of researchers from Nagoya University in Japan has developed a loop heat pipe (LHP) that can transport up to 10 kW of heat without the need for electricity. This heat transport capability is the largest in the world. The group’s LHP aims to contribute to energy savings and carbon neutrality in various fields, including industrial waste heat recovery, solar heat utilization, electric vehicle (EV) thermal management, and data center cooling. The findings are detailed in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.
