"You can't manage what you can't measure", according to a famous business mantra often attributed to management guru Peter Drucker. This can help explain why carbon emissions are under more scrutiny than ever as we ramp up our efforts to avoid the catastrophic effects of climate change.  For example, the "carbon footprint" – a way of measuring the amount of greenhouse gases (mostly carbon) emitted during a product's creation, use and disposal – has become a household term. With a plethora of carbon footprint calculators…

The moon’s Orientale Basin as seen by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Credit: NASA GSFCBillions of years ago, a series of volcanic eruptions raged on the moon, blanketing hundreds of thousands of square miles of the orb’s surface in hot lava. Over the eons, that lava created the dark blotches, or maria, that give the face of the moon its distinctive appearance today.Now, new research from the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) suggests that volcanoes may have left another lasting impact on the lunar surface:…

If you are a keen observer of the Indian automotive industry, you must be knowing how the Skoda Octavia vRS has managed to make the term ‘outright performance’ more accessible to the masses. The sportier iteration of the already desirable Octavia has created benchmarks in performance, in whatever iteration it was sold in India. Amidst all the hype the Skoda Octavia vRS has generated around outright performance, fuel efficiency is the last thought that comes to one’s mind. However, an Octavia vRS owner has tried to…

Future fusion reactions inside tokamaks could produce much more energy than previously thought, thanks to groundbreaking new research that found a foundational law for such reactors was wrong.  The research, led by physicists from the Swiss Plasma Center at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EFPL), has determined that the maximum hydrogen fuel density is about twice the "Greenwald Limit" – an estimate derived from experiments more than 30 years ago.The discovery that fusion reactors can actually work with hydrogen…

WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is considering a release of diesel fuel from federal reserves to address skyrocketing prices and the threat of supply outages on the East Coast. Officials have drafted an emergency declaration as prices have soared to record highs in recent weeks, White House spokeswoman Emilie Simons said on Twitter on Monday. Such a declaration would allow for the quick release of some of the 1 million barrels of diesel in the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve “if…
