This Jacket Pulls Drinking Water from Thin Air
Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a jacket that harvests drinking water directly from the air. The technology could benefit anyone who spends much time in areas without easy access to drinking water, from hobbyist hikers, campers and runners to agricultural workers, emergency responders and soldiers. “Water harvesting from air is usually imagined as a stationary device such as a box, a panel or a large sorbent bed,” said Guihua Yu, chair professor of the Cockrell...

German court holds Google liable for false AI Overview answers
German court holds Google liable for false AI Overview answers A recent study found that these recaps regularly provide incorrect information and contain facts not supported by cited sources. A German court has ruled that Google is directly liable for incorrect information presented by its AI Overviews platform, according to a report by The Decoder. The country has laws in place that protect search engine operators from liability, but the court ruled that this doesn't apply to AI overviews.
Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design
Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When rockets fire into space, the insides of their engines become an extreme environment where temperatures soar and tiny particles are thrown around at hypersonic speeds. These particles behave in ways that break long-held assumptions, according to new research that could help improve the durability, safety and performance of future space and defense technologies. The...
Overview of the ALICE ITS3 Upgrade
Announce Type: new Abstract: The ALICE experiment will replace its three innermost tracking layers with the Inner Tracking System 3 (ITS3) during LHC Long Shutdown 3. This upgrade introduces the first fully cylindrical, wafer-scale silicon vertex detector, utilising Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) fabricated in a 65nm CMOS process. By thinning sensors to 50$\mu$m and bending them to radii as small as 19mm, the design achieves a self-supporting structure that eliminates traditional...
Firefighters face a higher risk of skin cancer, but nano fabrics with tiny, rough fibers can help keep them safer
Firefighters face a higher risk of skin cancer, but nano fabrics with tiny, rough fibers can help keep them safer Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Wildland firefighters are exposed to a mix of harmful chemicals in the smoke they breathe and the ash and soot that gets on their clothing. Over long assignments fighting fires that can last for days to weeks, those chemicals can be absorbed by their skin. Some of those chemicals are carcinogens.
Heat breaks the rules at the nanoscale and scientists used it to their advantage
Heat breaks the rules at the nanoscale and scientists used it to their advantage Tiny gold-engineered structures let scientists dramatically boost and control heat flow, potentially transforming everything from computer chips to energy systems. - Date: - June 8, 2026 - Source: - College of Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University - Summary: - Scientists used nanoscale gold metamaterials to supercharge heat transfer across tiny gaps, achieving up to four times more energy flow than similar...
The space race is coming for pharma: Why drug development is heading to lower Earth orbit
The highly anticipated SpaceX mega-IPO is part of a space frenzy that is moving beyond satellite connectivity, launch vehicles, and aerospace defense to the pharmaceutical sector. A growing number of companies are heading to lower Earth orbit to make medicines in microgravity. The range of commercial opportunities is expanding as foundational aerospace industries set the necessary infrastructure.
New 3D microscope technology captures high-resolution tissue images at a fraction of the cost
New 3D microscope technology captures high-resolution tissue images at a fraction of the cost Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes and microscope lenses that could push 3D tissue imaging beyond state-of-the-art systems while drastically cutting costs and complexity. Details of the design were published in the journal Nature Biotechnology. Modern...
Astronauts could use lightning-like plasma jets to kill germs on the moon and Mars, demo hints
Astronauts could use lightning-like plasma jets to kill germs on the moon and Mars, demo hints A new lab experiment is testing plasma jets as a water-free solution for "space laundry" on future missions to the moon and Mars. As astronauts prepare for long-duration missions to the moon and Mars, sustaining human life far from Earth will depend on solving a gauntlet of technological challenges. Yes, researchers need to perfect the towering rockets and futuristic habitats that will keep...
