Will Diamond Batteries (NDB) Change the World?

Nextbigfuture has had dozens of articles covering the experimental and theoretical propellantless propulsion system of James Woodward.

Perhaps the time is right for a new wave of nuclear reactors, ones that are smaller than traditional nuclear power plants for several reasons:

The SpaceX SN6 Starship prototype had a successful 150-meter hop test. This is the second SpaceX 150 meter hop test using a prototype Starship. There was Starhopper test flight in 2019.

Rocket Lab made a successful return to service by launching a customer's satellite into orbit earlier this week, but that deployment wasn't the only cause for celebration.

He said that in an improvised press conference at the Giga Berlin site.

Back in July, Volta Trucks released some specs and rendered images of its upcoming Zero electric truck. Now the start-up has revealed the first prototype, with trials due to start next year ahead of full production in 2022.

SpaceX delivered a new batch of its Starlink satellites into orbit today (Sept. 3) and nailed a rocket landing, following a few delays.

Last week, British company Vertical Aerospace unveiled a new electric VTOL air taxi design, moving out of the realms of simple multicopters and into the efficient, complex, longer-range world of tilt-rotor aircraft.

A groundbreaking discovery in Australia is giving new meaning to the term natural remedy. Using hundreds of honeybees, a new study reveals the venom in these insects' stingers quickly kills breast cancer cells.

It seems Tesla fans are eager to forecast the future. Only good things can come from Battery Day, right?

A Scottish company called Gravitricity has now broken ground on a demonstrator facility for a creative new system that stores energy in the form of "gravity" by lifting and dropping huge weights.

The project has now progressed from slick renders of a futuristic aircraft to a scale model capable of flight, which was recently shown in action for the very first time.

Aubrey discussed the current state of the rejuvenation biotechnology industry and how the current pandemic is shifting medical and science priorities.

-for better prosthetics, smarter robotics and non-invasive skin graft alternatives

It'll debut in a few years.

The pursuit of better batteries means the exploration of alternative materials, and one that scientists see a lot of promise in is silicon.

Otto Aviation claims its odd-looking Celera 500L "bullet plane" is "the biggest thing to happen to the aviation and travel industries in 50 years," and that its extreme fuel economy could make private flights as affordable as regular commercial air t

As renewable energy generation grows, so does the need for new storage methods that can be used at times when the Sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

A couple of years ago, we heard how Ford was supplying its assembly plant employees with an assistive exoskeleton called the EksoVest. Now, the maker of that device has unveiled a lighter and limberer but just as capable model.

...as makers claim it will make private air travel as affordable as commercial

Researchers say that taking frozen microbiome capsules created using one's own feces while dieting may help limit weight regain in the future.

Driverless ships don't have to worry about crowded roads. And they don't need bunks--or toilets.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope or WFIRST) is a NASA infrared space observatory that will launch in 2025.

The White House has announced additional funding for Artificial Intelligence and Quantum computing research.

British company Oxis says it's developed safe, high-density lithium-sulfur battery chemistry and will supply Texas Aircraft Manufacturing with a 90-kWh, next-gen battery pack to power the eColt, an electric aircraft with a two hour, 230-mile range.

This year we've seen about a 75% reduction of weeds in our garden, and now we're sharing how!

Implanted non-organic electronic devices are typically rejected by the human body as a foreign invader, but new discoveries in chemical science promise to trick the body into accepting them. Welcome to the 'Borg'. ? TN Editor

We can't wait for all the details on this epic event.

Jake and Nicole are nearly living off the grid 100%.

The substance has the potential to revolutionize everything from space travel to the energy grid.

The video features some delightful lounge music.

Red bricks, one of the world's most abundant and cheapest building materials, can be converted into batteries that can be charged to hold electricity, according to new research from Washington University in St. Louis.

This technology could be the basis for next generation '6G' communications with terabytes-per-second speed (10 to 100 times faster than 5G) in future.

We're answering questions about our earthbag root cellar build as well as general off-grid questions.

A homestead is a place of production. Food, fiber, and fuel are just a few of the things a homestead can produce for a family. Most importantly, a homestead can produce a great quality of life for you, and those you care most about.
