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.

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. In context: The air around us is thick with radio frequency signals from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 5G networks. These standards are excellent for transmitting data but also represent an untapped energy source. Researchers have developed a new technology to harvest ambient or 'waste' RF signals and use them to power small electronic devices.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Scientists from Yale University and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a systematic approach to understanding how energy is lost from the materials that make up qubits. Energy loss inhibits the performance of these quantum computer building blocks, so determining its sources—and adjusting the materials as necessary—can help bring researchers closer to designing quantum computers that could revolutionize several scientific fields.
