A group of students from Eindhoven University of Technology has developed ARIA, a modular electric vehicle designed to be repaired by its owner. The prototype, which stands for “Anyone Repairs It Anywhere,” features standardized components and a built-in toolbox to simplify maintenance. By moving away from integrated designs that often require specialized technicians, the project […]
Designer Maryam Mozafari has introduced Sula, an innovative solar touch light that merges sustainable technology with minimalist luxury. Resembling a smooth wooden pebble, the device hides its solar panel on the underside, allowing it to charge when flipped over on a sunny windowsill. By prioritizing an organic aesthetic and tactile interaction, Sula offers a cordless, […]
Great Britain achieved a historic milestone in 2025 as renewable energy production reached record levels, driven by a significant surge in wind and solar power. According to data from the National Energy System Operator (Neso), clean sources generated over 127 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity. While wind remained the primary contributor, solar energy saw unprecedented […]
Despite their ubiquity in daily life, batteries remain a source of significant confusion, leading to the persistence of several common misconceptions.
