This solar-powered reactor can transform plastic into a skincare component and air into fuel.

 Researchers from Cambridge have created a solar-powered reactor that uses used plastic to turn carbon dioxide into a useful sustainable fuel.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created a solar-powered reactor that can transform plastic trash and collected carbon dioxide into a sustainable fuel while also creating some other valuable compounds.

Synthetic gas, or syngas, was created in the reactor from carbon dioxide. Syngas is immediately used as fuel since it is combustible. Residents of several industrialised cities received some types of syngas during the 20th century. It is difficult to work with, though, and is best utilised to make other fuels.

The test's plastic bottles, meanwhile, were transformed into glycolic acid. In the medical field, glycolic acid is used in a range of applications. According to WebMD, individuals use it to treat acne scars, dark skin patches, premature skin ageing, and acne.

UAE astronaut's images and footage of Cyclone Biparjoy from orbit

View pictures and videos of Cyclone Biparjoy captured by UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi while in orbit.

Since Cyclone Biparjoy is predicted to make landfall today, June 15, it may wreak extensive damage. UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi yesterday posted several photographs of the storm captured from the International Space Station in advance of its arrival on Indian soil.

According to Al Neyadi, the pictures and video he posted on Twitter were really captured more than two days earlier, when the cyclone was developing in the Arabian Sea. Al Neyadi made history earlier this year when he became the first Arab astronaut to undertake both a long-duration space mission and a spacewalk.

Al Neyadi said that the pictures and video he posted on Twitter were really captured more than two days prior, when the cyclone was developing in the Arabian Sea. Al Neyadi made history earlier this year when he became the first Arab astronaut to undertake both a long-duration space mission and a spacewalk.

A tropical storm named storm Biparjoy is predicted to produce winds that travel between 125 and 135 miles per hour. According to India's Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre (RSMC), it could result in storm surges of two to three metres in height, the destruction of thatched homes, damage to pucca homes and roads, flooding, damage to crops, plantations, and orchards, and disruption of railways and power systems in Gujarat's northern and western coastal districts.

Google might be forced to dissolve due to anti-competitive adtech practises in the EU

The $224.5 billion in advertising income generated by Alphabet in 2022 came from its search services, Gmail, Google Play, Google Maps, YouTube commercials, Google Ad Manager, AdMob, and AdSense.

In order to address concerns about anti-competitive practises, Alphabet's Google may need to sell a portion of its profitable adtech business, EU authorities said on Wednesday, threatening the corporation with its toughest regulatory penalty to yet.

Two years after starting an inquiry into actions like preferring its own advertising services, the European Commission laid out its complaints in a statement of objections to Google. If found guilty, this may result in a punishment of up to 10% of Google's annual global revenue.

With the advertising industry accounting for 79% of the company's total income last year, the stakes are higher for Google in its most recent spat with authorities.

The VP of Google Cloud AI claims that English is now the most powerful language programme.

By making available sufficient collateral and information on how to ask the proper questions to get the most out of the AI platform, Yang claimed that Google is also focusing on the teaching component of this process.

According to June Yang, vice-president of Cloud AI and Industry Solutions at Google Cloud, English is now the most powerful programming language. Yang, who oversees a vast portfolio of AI-powered goods and services, claims that Google is striving to comprehend the meaning behind basic language cues in order to better recreate them for the AI model.

By making available sufficient collateral and information on how to ask the proper questions to get the most out of the AI platform, Yang claimed that Google is also focusing on the teaching component of this process. Additionally, she highlighted how Google, one of the innovators and leaders in the AI field, has "been very open to sharing its innovation with industry to accelerate

Free AI courses are now available on the skill boost platform from Google Cloud.

Yang stated at Google that responsible AI was not simply a notion but rather a "living constitution that we rely upon every day." "We only use it for recommendations and best practises, but we also use a variety of tooling,"

Experimenting with sustainable design and technology, NASA and Boeing have unveiled the X-66A aircraft.

On Monday, NASA announced that the United States Air Force had given the plane it created with Boeing the X-66A designation. The design of next sustainable single-aisle aircraft will be influenced by the new experimental aircraft.

Boeing was given a $425 million contract by NASA earlier this year to develop, test, and fly a full-scale demonstrator aircraft and verify technology aimed at reducing emissions. NASA made the announcement earlier this year.

Early birds and reptiles may have given birth to offspring, according to a research.

"At NASA, we obsess not just on the stars but also on the sky. The Sustainable Flight Demonstrator expands on NASA's pioneering work in both climate change and aviation. In a news release issued on Monday, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson claimed that the X-66A will "help shape the future of aviation, a new era where aircraft are greener, cleaner, and quieter, and create new possibilities for the flying public and American industry alike."
