Traffic is among the biggest sources of air pollution, but what if the very roads they drive on could help clear the air? Engineers in Korea have now demonstrated that photocatalytic concrete can help reduce pollution in tunnels.While we need to transition to greener vehicles as soon as possible, it’s still going to take a few decades. In the meantime, finding other ways to slurp up that air pollution is important, so why not turn to the most common building material in the world to help? In recent years scientists have…

Everything was looking so good today, until it wasn’t.

NASA on Saturday (Sept. 3) scrapped a second attempt to get its new 30-story rocket off the ground and send its uncrewed test capsule toward the Moon after engineers detected a fuel leak.With millions around the globe and hundreds of thousands on nearby beaches waiting for the historic launch of the massive Space Launch System (SLS), a leak near the base of the rocket was found as ultra-cold liquid hydrogen was being pumped in."The launch director waived off today's Artemis I launch," NASA said in a statement. "Multiple…

The US space agency scrubbed the uncrewed Space Launch System (SLS) Moon mission called Artemis I owing to a technical engine glitch.Nasa said in a tweet that the launch was currently in an unplanned hold as engineers spotted an issue with one of the rocket's engines."The team works on an issue with engine number 3 on the @Nasa_SLS core stage," said the space agency.Nasa will issue another launch date at a later stage.Artemis I will go into deep space and will perform a long orbit around the Moon before coming back to…

By MARCIA DUNN CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA called off the launch of its mighty new moon rocket on its debut flight with three test dummies aboard Monday after a last-minute cascade of problems culminating in unexplained engine trouble. The next launch attempt will not take place until Friday at the earliest and could be off until mid-September or later. The mission, when it happens, will be the first flight in NASA’s Artemis project, a quest to put astronauts back on the moon for the first time since the Apollo…

A student team from the Eindhoven University of Technology has built a prototype electric passenger car that removes and stores carbon dioxide from the air as it rolls down the road, with the aim of capturing more CO2 than is emitted during the full lifecycle of the vehicle.The project is the seventh for the TU/ecomotive students, following 2018's Noah concept and the Luca from 2020. The challenge for the Zem (EM-07) team was to build a carbon net-zero electric vehicle.The team created a monocoque and body panels using…
