Noise-canceling earphones, such as the AirPods Pro, are excellent for blocking outside noise when you’re traveling, but there’s a catch: they don’t interface with airplane in-flight entertainment systems. Fortunately, there are Bluetooth transmitters like the Twelve South AirFly Duo that take care of it for you. At Best Buy and Amazon, you can get one for $44 and it may even be on sale.

The Duo is incredibly easy to use because of its built-in 3.5mm cable. Just insert it into the headphone port of the seatback entertainment system, connect it with your Bluetooth-enabled wireless headphones or earbuds, and you’re ready to go. The best part about this is that you’ll probably wind up with even better sound quality because, more often than not, your own Bluetooth headphones are superior to the corded earbuds that airlines usually provide. It can be connected to another pair of speakers if you and your traveling buddy want to watch the same shows together.
​
The wireless headphone adapter is an excellent purchase because of its many benefits, besides audio sharing. Because USB-C is supported, you can fast recharge when the time comes. The Duo’s ability to link wireless headphones to other devices—from a Nintendo Switch to compatible treadmills—will come in handy long after your flight has ended.

Russia attacked Ukraine thirty months ago, and during that time hundreds of thousands of buildings were destroyed. Soon, a new machine will start creating Lego-like building blocks for new dwellings out of some of that debris.

According to Nic Matich, a cofounder of Mobile Crisis Construction, an Australian charity that created the equipment, “the idea is to recycle and use what’s there.” Glass, garbage, and old walls are ground into a fine mixture in a mill and combined with water, clay, and cement in small amounts. After that, the device compacts everything into a block. After a few days of curing, the blocks are ready to be used to construct walls.

The blocks can be piled together with no traditional mortar because of their interlocking design. “With very little training, unskilled labor can put these walls together,” claims Matich. Rebar can be introduced through holes in the blocks in earthquake-prone areas.

The charity thinks that a single machine can create up to 8,000 bricks every day, which is enough to build 10 homes every three days. (That just refers to the exterior building; the interior residences still need to be completed.)

Cofounder Blake Stacey, an engineer with experience in brickwork, and crisis response specialist Matich began working on the idea five years ago after discussing a concept for interlocking blocks over drinks at a pub. “I thought, ‘What if we could move this around in a [shipping] container?’” recalls Matich. “Then we could rebuild and respond to crises.”

As soon as the design was complete, they began seeking money to respond to calamities such as earthquakes. However, Matich claims that because the news cycle is so fast, before they could gather the $70,000 or $80,000 required to create each machine, potential donors lost interest in each calamity. But there was increased sympathy for the current conflict in Ukraine. The machine is currently being transported in the first shipping container to a location outside of Kiev. (The freestanding mill is shipped in a smaller carton.) Unlike a conventional brick factory with a high-temperature kiln, the machine requires little power, allowing it to operate on a small generator even when the local grid is unavailable.

The first project involves rebuilding multiple townhouses in partnership with a local foundation. According to Matich, “it’s very simple construction, all in a row.” In a way, it’s a test case. To construct the next machine, the NGO has already begun to raise funds; according to him, there is “no upper limit on how much Ukraine needs.”
​
The nonprofit eventually wants to be included in the typical reaction to tragedies. According to Matich, “the UN might send in food, water, and temporary shelters.” “And as a second phase response, we could deploy our machines and begin to rebuild the area.”

The enormous, rapidly receding Salton Sea, in the southeast of California, holds the key to the global future of clean energy. A new assessment from the U.S. Department of Energy claims this region contains an abundance of lithium, sufficient to power over 375 million electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This places the area as a potential powerhouse in the global lithium industry, surpassing the entire number of automobiles now on U.S. roadways.

For the creation of rechargeable batteries, which are used in everything from smartphones to electric cars, lithium is essential. This discovery appears to be a hopeful development given the global push for clean energy and the U.S. goal of increased energy independence. But as researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) warn, there could be serious negative effects on the environment and public health if America rushes to harvest lithium.

Manuel Pastor, the director of the USC Equity Research Institute, stated that “Lithium Valley” is currently positioned for a potential economic boom that is being supported not only by businesses but also by environmentalists who think the method of lithium extraction being proposed there is the “greenest” approach available. “But who will profit from the boom and who will continue to be marginalized?” is the real question.

Lithium from the Salton Sea is found in geothermal brine, which is hot, mineral-rich water below the surface. Comparing this form of lithium extraction to conventional hard rock mining, it is thought to be less harmful to the environment. Lithium may be collected from the brine by pumping it to the surface and then pumping the sans-lithium liquid back to the ground. This method is being heralded as a possible game-changer for environmentally friendly lithium production.

Australia presently produces more lithium than any other country in the world, mostly from hard rock mining. Major producers of lithium are also found in nations like China, Chile, and Argentina that harvest the metal from salt lakes. But now, the World Economic Forum reports, California’s Salton Sea is emerging as a major factor.

The concerns of depending on foreign suppliers for necessary elements like lithium, nickel, and cobalt—which power the batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and electronic devices—have been brought to light by the epidemic and geopolitical tensions. According to World Bank projections, there will be a 500% increase in lithium consumption by 2050.

According to Greys Sošić, an expert in sustainability and global supply chains at the USC Marshall School of Business, “the U.S. needs to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries and seek alternative local sources of lithium to enable sustainable future production from local resources.”

The Salton Sea’s proposed geothermal brine lithium recovery is one such option that might help fill the rising demand while lowering dependency on foreign lithium sources.

There is something peculiar about the Salton Sea, though. Because of an engineering blunder that occurred in 1905, it was unintentionally formed, and ever since, its dry lakebed has been exposing poisonous particles. Significant health concerns are associated with this dust, particularly for children in the nearby towns, who already face difficult economic and environmental conditions.

This is one of California’s poorest counties, with a typical household income that is about one-third that of Silicon Valley. While it boasts an 85% Latino population, but its political representation is far from up to par, according to Pastor.

The prevalence of childhood asthma in these neighborhoods is startlingly high. Air quality near the Salton Sea has been the subject of research by Shohreh Farzan, an associate professor of population and public health at the USC Keck School of Medicine, since 2017. According to her analysis, the childhood asthma rate in the towns surrounding the sea is 22%, which is higher than the national average of approximately 8%.

“The local air quality is probably a factor in the high rates we see, as many children in this area suffer from respiratory symptoms like wheezing and allergies,” Farzan said. “While lithium can help us become less dependent on fossil fuels, there is still much to learn about the environmental effects of the extraction process and whether this shift to cleaner energy could have an adverse effect on the health of the local communities.”

The Imperial Valley’s push for lithium mining reflects a larger global issue: balancing the pressing demand for clean energy and the necessity of safeguarding ecosystems and vulnerable communities. This was highlighted by Jill Johnston, an associate professor at USC’s division of environmental health.

“While promoting zero-emission technology and moving away from fossil fuels is vital for public health, it’s also necessary to prevent creating new environmental risks,” she stated. “The unduly burdened families around the proposed lithium extraction site deserve access to clean water and air and health protection.”
Imperial Valley faces a critical decision as the globe rushes toward a future powered primarily by renewable energy. Lithium mining has the potential to have a significant positive economic impact, bringing prosperity and jobs to an area that desperately needs them. However, it is impossible to overlook the health and environmental issues.
​
The trick will be figuring out how to use the lithium in the Salton Sea while still taking care of the local ecology and population. “Lithium Valley” has the potential to serve as an example for sustainable resource exploitation if done well. If not, it might end up serving as just another illustration of how economic growth can neglect the most marginalized populations.

Capturing 4K footage with an iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max might quickly use up a terabyte of storage. Besides offering up to 2TB of additional storage, Lexar’s new Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub also allows mobile filmmakers to capture ProRes video at 60 frames per second and provides a couple extra USB-C connections for attaching other equipment.

Several businesses have released SSD drives specifically made for the iPhone, enabling 60 frames per second of 4K ProRes video recording, which is limited to 30 frames per second when recording to the internal storage of the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. The unique feature of Lexar’s solution is its small size and matching USB-C hub, which ensures that the iPhone can still be used with devices like handheld gimbals.

The storage solution from Lexar comprises two primary parts. The SSD itself is the smaller of the two; it has read and write speeds of 1,050 MB/s and 2TB, respectively, and is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. The SSD can be mounted on the bottom of the iPhone by connecting it directly to the USB-C connection, or it can be positioned out of the way against the back of the iPhone by using the provided angled adaptor.

A four-port USB-C hub can also be used with the SSD, although the SSD and the iPhone’s angled connector take up two of the ports. You can connect accessories like lighting, microphones, or an external power source with a maximum power delivery of 30W to the remaining two USB-C ports.

Although though Lexar is primarily marketing the SSD and hub as an attachment for the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, Android devices with a USB-C connector, USB On-The-Go (UTG) support, and “a USB load capacity of above 4.5W” can also use it.

Through Kickstarter, Lexar can offer its Professional Go Portable SSD with Hub to customers at a discounted price for those who contribute to the campaign. The SSD costs $129 for the 1TB model and $209 for the 2TB model when purchased alone. Accessories like a protective case and an angled USB-C converter are also included. The price of the 1TB SSD increases to $159 with the USB-C hub accessory, or $239 with the 2TB option. In addition, accessories like a cold shoe adaptor for attaching tripods and other photographic gear are included.
​
With deliveries expected in September, the full retail price for the 1TB SSD with hub and the 2TB SSD with hub will be closer to $239 and $349, respectively.

It’s much simpler to avoid traffic when you use Google Maps and Waze, whether you’re using them for a road trip or your regular commute to work. Five new features, including one that alerts you to traffic that may affect you even if you’re not currently at that spot, made both apps even better last week.
Here’s what’s new:

Easier reporting. One of the best things about Waze and Google Maps is the community reporting tool. You can notify other drivers about accidents, construction, police, and more by simply touching a button.
Not only will Google Maps now display reports from other Waze and Maps users, but larger buttons will make it simpler for you to view those reports. You will see which app generated the report. This new feature is available now.

Buildings highlighted. It might be challenging to find your way around a new facility, particularly if you’re not familiar with the parking situation there. Maps ought to illuminate the building at your destination and its entrance on the path when you get there. Parking lots and their entrances should be included on maps. Google intends to release this upgrade within the next few weeks.

Reports on new cameras. Waze is introducing new kinds of cameras to keep up with the increasing prevalence of speed enforcement and red-light cameras in the US. Google reports Waze will now notify drivers about cameras that enforce seatbelt, speed, red-light, and HOV lane restrictions to assist drivers in adhering to local laws.

Drivers may even receive a warning about cameras monitoring their cell phone use while driving in select places. These reports are currently being distributed and are expected to originate from both publicly accessible databases and the Waze community.

Alerts in real time about the locations you love. Waze has always provided real-time information on traffic conditions, but from now on it should also notify you in advance if there is an issue with your regular route—even if you are not there. You will receive an alert if traffic in the vicinity changes if you frequently drive in that area or if you have places saved there. Waze will notify you if there are any road closures because of events like parades or large concerts, and it will also offer an alternative route if necessary. This functionality can be accessed right now.
​
Navigation while locked. Waze can now provide advice, such as turn-by-turn directions, traffic updates, and danger alerts, from your phone’s lock screen to assist you in traveling as safely and distraction-free as possible. This feature will roll out this month on Android and this fall on iOS.

​The warehouses of the world are surprisingly empty spaces. There’s a lot of material in these vital nodes of the complex global commodities transportation system, but there’s also a lot of vacant space on the floor between their racks. The space is there to make room for the forklift, the workhorse of the warehouse, which must have room to maneuver when lifting and carrying pallets loaded down with hundreds or thousands of pounds of merchandise. A forklift needs a lot of space and a professional driver to do a mundane but dangerous task.

A new robotics firm recognizes an improved approach to warehouse management. Mytra, a company created by former employees of Tesla and Rivian, wants to automate and combine warehouse activities by using a robot and a storage rack system to improve the efficiency of products moving. It can also make the forklift obsolete.

The system has a complicated yet basic design. Mytra, which consists of a pallet-sized robot and a three-dimensional steel cell matrix, picks up and moves objects using specially made mechanics and software to speed up moving them into and out of the warehouse while optimizing how they’re stored.

According to Chris Walti, cofounder and CEO of Mytra, “we wanted to go after the simplest problem in the whole industry, which is just moving things around from one place in the factory or warehouse to another.” He also points out that between 40% and 80% of the work done in a typical facility is done within the warehouse. He had direct familiarity with it from his prior position managing Tesla’s warehouse logistics, which, like many warehouse operations, depended on pallet racks and forklifts.

Walti realized a fresh approach was required. He recognized the potential benefits of new robotics and automation technologies in his capacity as the leader of Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot project. Walti founded Mytra with Ahmad Baitalmal, who oversaw factory software at Tesla and Rivian. The robot in the company’s system is specially made to move in three dimensions and lift up to three thousand pounds. It operates inside a grid of cells that resembles a cage. Last month, the network of Albertson’s supermarket stores started using Mytra’s initial system.

Warehouse robots are already transporting and hauling things for businesses, ranging from DHL to Amazon, so this is not completely new ground. However, Walti claims that Mytra’s method automates a lot more of the movement and tasks that occur in a normal warehouse, most of which require assembling mixed pallets. Worker activity in the warehouse resembles a shopping run. And that calls for a great deal of manual labor. Going to every station and lifting a sack of concrete or a case of Coca-Cola is backbreaking, according to Walti. “Most of this can be automated by our system.”

A New Kind of Warehouse Robot. According to Walti, the robot at the center of this system is a significant advancement for the sector. He claims that no mobile robot can move over 100 pounds in a vertical direction. The steel grid structure that comprises Mytra’s racks, and a specially created screw-drive mechanism at each of the robot’s four corners, which employs mechanical leverage to ascend and descend, work together to enable Mytra’s 3,000-pound vertical load limit.

The company’s unique selling point is the grid system, which eliminates the need for the aisles that take up valuable space in forklift-based warehouse operations. The rack system’s cellular nature allows for any size or shape configuration. There are 36 cells in Albertson’s initial installation. According to Walti, Mytra is in discussions with other clients about possible uses involving tens of thousands or possibly hundreds of thousands of cells. He claims, “We’re bringing software re-configurability to physical space.”
​
The traditional warehouse might change thanks to Mytra’s robot-based approach. However, according to Walti, “forklifts are still superb at loading things in trailers and stacking pallets on a dock,” so the forklift’s day may not be over entirely. All it does is make a great deal fewer of them necessary.

Pengju Li and his colleagues at the University of Chicago have created a wireless, ultrathin pacemaker that functions similarly to a solar panel by utilizing light. Because it conforms to the shape of the heart, its design reduces interference with the heart’s normal function while simultaneously doing away with the need for batteries. Their findings, which were just released in the journal Nature, provide a novel strategy for heart pacing and other therapies requiring electrical stimulation.

Medical devices called pacemakers are inserted into the body to control cardiac rhythms. They are made up of battery-operated electrical circuits with leads that are fixed to the heart muscle to stimulate it. Leads, however, can break and cause tissue damage. Once implanted, the leads’ position cannot be altered, which restricts access to various cardiac areas. Pacemakers might cause tissue injury when they are used in regulating arrhythmia or restart the heart after surgery because they use stiff iron electrodes.

The group’s aim was for a more adaptable, leadless pacemaker that could accurately stimulate various heart regions. Thus, they created a device that converts light into bioelectricity, or electrical signals produced by heart cells. The pacemaker is constructed of silicon membrane and optic fiber, which the Tian lab and colleagues at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have spent years developing. It is thinner than a human hair.

This pacemaker is driven by light, just like solar panels.

To accurately regulate heartbeats, they changed their device to create power only at points where light strikes, in contrast to normal solar cells, which are typically designed to capture as much energy as possible. A coating of minuscule pores, capable of capturing both light and electrical current, was employed to achieve this. Only heart muscles that are in contact with pores triggered by light are stimulated.

The gadget may be implanted without opening the chest because it is so lightweight and compact. It was successfully implanted, timing the beats of several cardiac muscles in the hearts of mice and an adult pig. Given the structural similarities between pig and human hearts, this achievement shows the device’s potential human application.

Why It Matters. Globally, heart disease is the primary cause of death. Over two million people have open heart surgery each year to treat cardiac conditions, including the implantation of devices that control cardiac rhythms and stave off heart attacks.

With its innovative, ultralight design, the heart’s surface may be gently conformed to for less intrusive stimulation, better pacing, and synchronous contraction. A minimally invasive procedure can implant the device, reducing postoperative trauma and recovery time.

What Still Isn’t Known. At the moment, ventricular defibrillation, heart attacks, and heart restarts are the situations in which the technique works best when used initially. The research team is still investigating its durability and long-term consequences in the human body.

The heart’s continuous mechanical action disturbs the body’s interior environment, which is rich in fluids. Over time, this can jeopardize the functionality of the device.

The body’s response to extended exposure to medical equipment is still not well understood by researchers. After implantation, scar tissue may grow around the device, reducing its sensitivity. To reduce the possibility of rejection, they are creating unique surface treatments and biomaterial coatings.

While silicic acid, a harmless material the body may safely absorb, is produced when the device breaks down, it is crucial to assess the body’s reaction to prolonged implantation to guarantee both safety and efficacy.

What’s Next? The rate at which the device dissolves naturally in the body is being fine-tuned by the researchers to accomplish long-term implantation and customize the device to each patient. To enable it to function as a wearable pacemaker, improvements are being investigated. This entails incorporating a wireless light-emitting diode, or LED, under the skin that is optically coupled to the apparatus.
​
Their ultimate aim is to extend the use of what they refer to as photoelectroceuticals outside of cardiac treatment. This covers the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease with neurostimulation, neuroprostheses, and pain management.

It is simple to have your computer or tablet screen visually hacked in public, which allows someone to steal private information. Plastic screen coverings are one technique to stop this from happening, as they make it harder for someone to view the document unless they are directly in front of it. Microsoft might develop a technology that encrypts text graphically as you read it.

A system that encrypts a document so that only the reader can decipher it is described in a recent Microsoft patent. By changing the letters in the text section of the original document, the approach encrypts the document. The document is then shown in a private mode using an alpha-blended version that combines the encoded and original copies of the text. Next, the system takes advantage of eye tracking to show the user the decoded portion of the document at their fixation point and the encoded version at the periphery of their field of vision.

This issue is currently addressed by a wide range of products on the market, from hardware privacy screens to software that uses webcams and eye tracking to let light from the screen enter the eyes of the intended user while blocking light from the screen from entering the eyes of onlookers. They are all limited, though.
Because it is challenging to attain 100% light efficiency, privacy screens make the display appear dull to the intended user’s eyes. In the meantime, reading the text becomes more challenging when non-fixed portions of the screen are arbitrarily blurred or dimmed—it becomes like reading through a telescope.

The Ponemon Institute claims that visual hacking is a common issue. The institute carried out an experiment in the US in 2015 that showed how simple it was to use visual hacking to get confidential firm information. In 2016, 3M supported an enlarged version of this project with offices in China, France, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, and the UK.
​
According to the 3M investigation, in 91% of the worldwide trials, information was visually hacked by an undercover white hat hacker. An undercover visual hacker was able to collect information in 15 minutes or less in nearly half of the global trials. Only 32% of the hacker efforts were successful, and 52% of the sensitive data was taken from staff computer screens. The outcomes matched those of the smaller study conducted by the Ponemon Institute.

Despite all the positive effects antibiotics have on the planet, one of the major drawbacks to their use is how they indiscriminately destroy both “bad” and “good” bacteria.

Besides eliminating disease-causing invaders in the human body, a single course of this life-saving medication can have an “immense“ effect on the gut and the microorganisms that live there.

Certain bacteria or fungi may occasionally overgrow because of this influence. For example, following antibiotic treatment, women may have a 30% chance of acquiring a yeast infection.

Researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign are developing a remedy. Lolamicin is a novel antibiotic that has been found to target selectively gram-negative infections, sparing other bacteria.

Although there is still a long way to go until the medication is tested on humans, scientists are optimistic that it can act as a model for the creation of new antibiotics.

Gram-negative bacteria are notoriously hard to eradicate and are frequent causes of infections in the bladder, blood, lungs, and intestines. Currently, one of the most serious risks to global human health is their resistance to antibiotics.

Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria can both be eliminated by broad-spectrum antibiotics. However, because gram-negative bacteria are more likely to be resistant to our current antibiotics, scientists believe it is imperative to develop medications that can target them specifically. This increases the likelihood that more bacteria beneficial to human health will survive.

A medication such as Lolamicin might be the solution. Lolamicin defeated 130 drug-resistant strains of common gram-negative bacteria, including K. pneumoniae, E. coli, and E. cloacae, in laboratory dishes. This medication was able to eradicate every single strain of drug-resistant bacteria, where many other antibiotics could not.

Lolamicin also effectively treated blood infections and acute pneumonia in living rodents, all the while protecting the gut microbiome.

The medication had “no effect on non-pathogenic gram-negative commensal bacteria or on gram-positive bacteria” that were living in the mice.

That’s an exciting finding, considering that the diversity of microbial species inhabiting the human gut can rapidly decline after even a brief treatment of antibiotics, and this can last for months before things return to normal.

Although the effects of those modifications on health are poorly understood, administering some antibiotics can make a patient more susceptible to secondary infections.

But Lolamicin isn’t like that. This novel drug does “not cause any substantial changes” to the gut microbiome of mice in the month following therapy, in contrast to gram-positive-only clindamycin and broad-spectrum antibiotic amoxicillin.

During this period, mice treated with Lolamicin were exposed to Clostridium difficile, a bacterial illness that frequently occurs in the colon after the use of antibiotics.

Those mice treated with Lolamicin did not develop C. difficile infections at nearly the same rate as those treated with clindamycin or amoxicillin.

The creation of an antibiotic that spares the microbiome could save lives, since the United States alone accounts for some 500,000 cases of C. difficile infections annually, of which 30,000 are fatal.

To make sure that infections do not eventually develop resistance to Lolamicin, scientists are currently refining their research.

“The intestinal microbiome is central to maintaining host health, and its perturbation can cause many deleterious effects, including C. difficile infection and beyond,” the authors conclude.
​
“Pathogen-specific antibiotics such as Lolamicin will be critical to minimizing collateral damage to the gut microbiome; this microbiome-sparing effect would make such antibiotics superior for patients compared with antibiotics in current clinical practice.”

A team of NASA specialists isn’t aiming for the stars with their ground-breaking jet engine core design, which is now under development. Instead, the hybrid aircraft engine might result in a 10% reduction in fuel consumption for Earth-based travel on future passenger aircraft.

It’s a component of a clever concept that aims to reduce air pollution and travel expenses.

Aerospace is working with General Electric to design the engine. With an emphasis on sustainability and efficiency, it will use a larger fan and a smaller core.

Known as HyTEC (Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core), an article from Interesting Engineering claims it may be the first engine of its sort built for an airplane.

“GE Aerospace and NASA have worked together for many years to develop cutting-edge aircraft technologies,” Kathleen Mondino of GE stated in a press statement. “The HyTEC program builds on this relationship to help chart the future of more sustainable flight.”

It is planned for the technology to be operational by the 2030s. It generates the same thrust as a conventional engine with a larger fan package and a smaller core thanks to increased electrical power, which results in increased efficiency. It uses less fuel as a result.

A NASA graphic illustrating the planned engine’s internal mechanisms appears to have gears, shafts, and other components, as one might expect. Several part descriptions include the phrase “high pressure”.

Since the idea will subject the engine to a great deal of heat and pressure, the team claims to have identified robust materials for it during the first round of development. They are currently on phase two of the project.

From the beginning, we have had a singular focus. Project lead Anthony Nerone stated, “We started the project with specific technical goals and metrics for success and, so far, we haven’t had to change course from any of them.”

For hybrid and electric aircraft technology, companies like Ampaire are working on initiatives similar to those of NASA and GE. According to Simple Flying, fuel can make up 20–40% of an airline’s expenses. Thus, more economical engines or all-electric models may have a significant effect on flight costs.

The innovations ought to contribute to a partial decrease in the greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector. According to Our World in Data, the industry handles roughly 4% of the global warming to date and 2.5% of the planet’s carbon dioxide emissions. Climate.gov estimates that global warming has occurred since 1850 by 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Climate specialists at MIT say it’s part of a disturbing trend that might have disastrous, permanent effects.

NASA claims that increased frequency and severity of floods, droughts, and other natural catastrophes are associated with global warming caused by humans. The issue is that insurance rates are affected since a broader portion of the world is now at risk of extreme weather.

The experts concluded that the HyTEC engine will directly address the issue by consuming less fuel.
​
“What we’re creating has never been done before, and it involves many different technologies coming together to form a new type of engine,” Nerone stated.
