Whatever your beliefs around global warming, CO2 emissions are real and have been linked to climate change. Carbon capture is part of the solution and while it’s not a new concept, researchers from the University of Delaware have developed a new method that can remove 99% of CO2 emissions from the air. Let’s take a closer look at what carbon capture is, how the process works and what the new method entails.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of 5G technology and how it could change our lives forever. 5G is the next-generation cellular data network and is slated to drastically improve wireless connections and data transfer rates. It will also be far more capable to power some of the most advanced technologies used in smart cities and autonomous vehicles among others.
Experts predict that 5G technology could have a huge impact on several sectors including manufacturing, defence and medical. In this article, we take a closer look at some of the most FAQs on 5G. Find out how it works, how fast the connection speed really is and whether 5G is safe.

The construction industry is a diverse one, with steel being used in many different ways. Architectural steelwork is an essential part of this and falls into two categories: structural steel and non-structural steel. In this article, we take a quick look at the differences, processes and how PRV Engineering works.

In the world of construction, every little detail matters and that includes the quality of materials, workmanship and the level of insulation for lower energy consumption. One thing you may not know is the significant difference window design can have. In this article, we take a closer look at a triple-pane window design from the 1990s that helped improve urban efficiency by some margin.

Boring can be a frustrating and expensive process especially when you encounter rocks that can destroy your equipment. Powered by machine vision, a new tunnelling or drilling robot can micro tunnel through the toughest conditions faster and more reliably than conventional methods. According to the company, its next-gen drilling robot can bore through rock considered too challenging for other tunnelling machines.

Biomimicry, also known as biologically inspired engineering, involves the study and imitation of nature to help solve human challenges. The aviation sector is filled with examples of biomimicry which have provided engineers with invaluable insights from the flight of birds to the movement of sharks.
As a result of carefully studying the movement of animals, we have been able to make aircraft lighter and more fuel-efficient. Few projects, though, look as close to the real thing as the Macrobat, a new bird-shaped air taxi that can take off with a nearly vertical trajectory.
