Experts predict EVs will charge in under 10 minutes by 2027.

Scientists are confident that the considerable time required to charge an electric vehicle will soon be a thing of the past. Scientists at the American Chemical Society claim they have developed a method to fully charge a car's battery in under 10 minutes. What's more, the technology they've created might be available to consumers as soon as 2027. The researchers set out to create an electric vehicle charging system that was just as easy to use as filling up a gas-powered vehicle." Fast charging is the key to enhancing consumer confidence and general adoption of electric cars," said lead researcher Eric Dufek."It would make charging a vehicle as easy as refueling at a gas station." One of the main problems with EVs has been striking a balance between quick charging times and batt...

A company called Meta is suing Facebook for exploiting the word Meta.

When Facebook changed its name to Meta in October, there were some concerns that the company was seeking to govern the burgeoning metaverse. Until recently, however, one disgruntled party remained silent; nevertheless, this party has lately spoken up. On Tuesday, a company that specializes in creating installation art called META (or Meta. is) announced that it will sue Meta (or Facebook) for trademark infringement. The company claims that Zuckerberg's decision to change the name of the larger company violates the established brand of the more specialized business. A post that can be found on the website of the more modest business states, "On October 28, 2021, Facebook took our META mark and name, which we poured our effort, sweat, and tears into establishing for over twelve years."

A solar storm is expected to reach Earth today, so keep an eye out for auroras.

The world may be anticipating the launch of the Artemis I rocket today, but nature has its own highlights to display, whether it's rain or fuel spills. According to Space.com, our world is on Aurora watch since a coronal mass ejection released last Friday is due to approach us today. CMEs arise when the Sun emits massive volumes of energy and highly magnetized particle matter from its surface. CMEs often form after high magnetic energy regions on the Sun's surface momentarily obstruct the convection process. Because of its lower temperature, the region on the surface cools and becomes visible as a dark patch from Earth's telescopes. Scientists refer to it as a sunspot. Over millennia, astronomers have studied the solar surface for the appearance of sunspots and discovered that their nu...

Psilocybin, found in magic mushrooms, may aid in the treatment of alcoholism.

Researchers paired psilocybin, the hallucinogenic ingredient found in magic mushrooms, with psychotherapy to treat alcohol addiction in a new study. The study included 93 patients with alcohol addiction who had no severe psychiatric illnesses and had not used psychedelics in the previous year. These individuals were placed into two groups: one received two doses of psilocybin, while the other received two doses of antihistamine placebo. In addition to medicine, all individuals had 12 weeks of psychotherapy; four sessions before the first medication dose, four between the first and second doses, and four during the month following treatment. Both groups decreased their drinking from the start of the trial to week 32, although the psilocybin group improved more significantly. Heavy dri...

A new exoplanet 100 light years away from Earth could be completely covered with water.

A team of international researchers lead by the University of Montreal uncovered an exoplanet that could be fully covered in water. TOI-1452b is a planet in the Draco Constellation around 100 light years away from Earth. It is larger and heavier than Earth and is located in the "habitable zone," which implies that the temperature is just right for liquid water to exist. The team believes it could be a "ocean planet," a planet with a thick layer of water covering it. What makes this aquatic planet so unique? This is not the first time an exoplanet or planets with water have been identified. Some of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons have substantial water layers covering them. However, the newly discovered planet is significantly wetter than Earth. TOI-1452b is around 70% larger and five times ...

AI and machine intelligence may enable super-fast EV charging.

According to a news release, Idaho National Laboratory researchers are employing machine learning and other advanced techniques to minimize electric vehicle charging times without hurting the battery. Despite electric vehicles' growing popularity, many buyers are hesitant to make the switch. One of the key reasons is that charging an electric automobile takes significantly longer than charging a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine. This hesitation is a symptom of range anxiety, and the remedy is to purchase a long-range electric vehicle, which can be costly. Because speeding up the charging process can damage the battery and shorten its lifespan, scientists are working on super-fast charging technologies that are specifically designed to charge each type of electric vehi...

Researchers are using bacteria-eating viruses to treat complicated lung ailments.

The largest case series of patients who underwent bacteriophage treatment for antibiotic-resistant illnesses was undertaken by researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh. The researchers deployed bacteria-eating viruses to treat 20 antibiotic-resistant lung illnesses. The individuals experienced no unfavorable side effects, and more than half of them had excellent clinical findings, according to the promising results they shared. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a type of bacteria that can cause lung infections on occasion. People with cystic fibrosis or other chronic diseases that damage or destroy the bronchi in the lungs are more likely to contract NTM. However, treating NTM infections is difficult due to bacte...
