Berkeley-based startup Copper has raised $28M to scale its battery-equipped induction stoves, offering a practical, plug-in alternative to harmful gas cooking. By cutting indoor air pollution, eliminating costly retrofits, and doubling as energy storage, Copper’s innovation helps households shift to cleaner, healthier kitchens and a greener energy grid.

The Eilat-Eilot Renewable Energy Initiative announced yesterday that a tender will be issued to set up and operate the...

The roots of modern computing run through weaving. From Jacquard looms and Ada Lovelace to women programming early computers, London’s Softwear exhibition reveals the surprisingly tactile history behind our digital world.

A rooftop solar system looks simple: panels, an inverter, a battery and a few cables. But beneath that simplicity lies a bill of materials thousands of lines long, where tiny current sensors, magnetic cores, gate drivers, capacitors and connectors quietly determine efficiency, safety and lifespan. These overlooked components—not the solar panels themselves—are why today's residential solar systems are smaller, smarter and far more reliable than those of a decade ago.

That means the water dripping from your air conditioner may already be usable for gardening, cleaning, flushing toilets, topping up humidifiers, or cooling systems — instead of disappearing into the sewer. A new study. Is it safe?

For centuries, the Sámi shaman drum was one of the most powerful sacred objects in northern Europe, and one of the most feared by church and state. If ISIS looks bad to us today for its religious fundamentalism, Christians were just as fervent. 

The thing about raw materials is that once they are melted down, you can't prove the source of the material. Same is true with gold, cucumbers and even forged products that look the same as the real thing. When it comes to steel, and how we produce it, it has a massive carbon problem. What's happening in Japan right now could change how we think about heavy industry and climate action.

That shift helps explain why Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has agreed to acquire American renewable energy company Intersect Power in a deal valued at roughly $4.75 billion. It’s a move that reflects a deeper change: technology companies are paying closer attention to the physical systems that support their growth. 

Walking well-trodden mountain pathways, eating fresh local food, and learning about the transformative work embedded in the Kasbah’s approach to tourism has now been imparted to our children. We hope, in turn, these experiences will serve to inform their contributions in the world as they continue to grow. Don’t wait, Morocco is on everyone’s bucket list. Growth and change are inevitable. 

Make the basic tahini dip and sauce for meat, popsicles, salads and cookies

Experimental biofabricators are now printing patterns on fabric using mushroom-based inks, and even making mushroom paper and mushroom-based leather—creating textiles that age, change, and biodegrade intentionally. Quilts that are meant to return to the earth.

Modern infrastructure relies on advanced insulated heating pipes for professional use, particularly in district heating and large-scale commercial projects. This is because the smart integrated insulated pipes ensure reliability and sustainability across diverse professional applications. These applications include:
