Photo: SSA Marine The Port of San Diego has put the first commercially available, large-capacity, electric forklift made in the US into service. It’s the first of six huge electric forklifts that the port will deploy over the next 12 to 18 months. Leading the charge at the Port of San Diego’s Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal is a 55,000-pound capacity Wiggins Yard eBull battery electric forklift. Not just any forklift, this net zero machine is a behemoth among electric machinery, capable of…

Universal Hydrogen is already flying the world's largest hydrogen airliner – and now the company has started testing swappable liquid hydrogen fuel modules that'll radically boost the range of clean passenger aircraft operations slated for 2026.Decarbonizing aviation is challenging; you need to carry a lot of energy in the lightest possible form, and it's very hard to compete with jet fuel on that metric. Batteries are currently abysmal, so the last few years have seen a furious pace of development in the hydrogen space,…

Researchers in the US have used advanced tracking technology to uncover new migratory corridors and foraging areas for leatherback sea turtles along the US east coast, notably in the South Atlantic Bight, Mid-Atlantic Bight, and southern New England. These findings, published in Frontiers in Marine Science, highlight significant foraging grounds and have implications for the conservation of this endangered species, particularly in light of threats from fishing and offshore wind farm developments.Leatherback sea turtles,…

The story of the Chinguetti meteorite is a very compelling mystery.The 4.5-kilogram (10 pound) stony-iron rock was reportedly taken from the top of a giant 100-meter-wide (328 foot) iron mountain – suggested to be a huge meteorite – in Africa back in 1916.In spite of numerous searches, the existence of this larger parent meteorite has never been confirmed. Now, a team of researchers are back on the trail.If it exists, this iron mountain would represent the largest meteorite on the planet by some distance – and scientists…

First Solar added $2.75 billion in value and $5.32 billion in output to the US economy in 2023 alone, and its economic impact is forecasted to soar. First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR) today released an economic study revealing the substantial impact of its US solar manufacturing operations. This analysis, a collaboration with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s Kathleen Babineaux Blanco Public Policy Center, gives us a look at First Solar’s spending both now and in the future, specifically looking at 2023…

The largest global vaccine safety study has linked COVID-19 vaccines with small increases in health conditions involving the brain, blood, and heart.The international team of researchers emphasizes that the chances of getting any of these conditions are still very low. It's important to note that extensive research shows COVID-19 vaccines protect against serious illness, death, and long COVID symptoms.Across just under 100 million COVID-19-vaccinated people in eight countries, potential links called safety signals were…

Not everyone is fully on board. Some theorists worry that the approach will only yield more false alarms from the collider—more tentative blips in the data like “two-sigma bumps,” so named for their low level of statistical certainty. These are generally flukes that eventually disappear with more data and analysis. Koren is concerned that this will be even more the case with such an open-ended technique: “It seems they want to have a machine that finds more two-sigma bumps at the LHC.”  Nachman told me that he received a…

This poster shows a flattened (Mercator) projection of the Huygens probe’s view of Saturn’s moon Titan from 10 kilometers altitude. The images that make up this view were taken on Jan. 14, 2005, with the descent imager/spectral radiometer onboard the European Space Agency’s Huygens probe. The Huygens probe was delivered to Titan by the Cassini spacecraft, managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
