From Motherboard. For decades, clean hydrogen power has been touted as a potentially world-changing technology. But the hydrogen economy has never quite materialized. With an oncoming wave of government and institutional investment in hydrogen power, we spoke with two industry entrepreneurs: Enass Abo-Hamed, whose company H2GO offers solid-state hydrogen storage, and New Jersey’s Mike Strizki,…

From Motherboard. In Iceland, at the edge of the Arctic Circle, scientists are creating the one of the first carbon negative power stations, using geothermal technology and a revolutionary carbon capture process. They’re now setting their sights exporting this ground-breaking technology to the world, by creating CO2 hubs, where lands rich in basalt can become…

From Motherboard. Neutrinos are one of nature’s most elusive subatomic particles. Countless trillions of them are streaming all around us, yet they almost never interact with matter, making them extremely difficult to study. Yet scientists at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica do manage to "see" these particles, and all it takes are thousands of…

From Motherboard. Through his nonprofit Nature’s SAFE, Tullis Matson collects and freezes sperm, eggs, and other genetic material from some of the world’s most endangered animals. These samples could, in theory, help make more of these creatures in the future, through cloning and other high-tech methods. Yet other scientists aren’t sure whether “frozen zoos” are…

From Motherboard. Launched in 2013, the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope is in the process of creating the most detailed star chart in the history of astronomy. With unequaled precision and detail, the movements of 1.7 billion stars are now available to scientists and the public. Gaia scientist Timo Prusti speaks with Motherboard’s Becky…

From Motherboard. We burrow into the world of robotic insects, a menagerie of mechanical cockroaches, bees, fleas, and flies. Insectile robots might one day accomplish tasks from search-and-rescue operations to pollinating crops. But there’s a dark side, a public paranoia about this tech, as seen in popular fiction that depicts robotic insects as tools for…

From Motherboard. NASA’s Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security – Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission launched 2016 with the goal of visiting an asteroid called Bennu, grabbing a sample of rocks from the surface, and then delivering them back to scientists on Earth. Last year the spacecraft successfully nabbed a bunch of rocks, and is now…

From Motherboard. We dive into the exploding field of soft robotics, zooming in on “robotic textiles.” These fabrics might one day enable anything from shape-changing smart clothes to strength-enhancing exosuits.

From Motherboard. From the surface of Earth it seems the stars and galaxies are randomly placed throughout the universe. But step back to a galactic scale, and a mysterious network of roads and hubs emerges. This is the Cosmic Web, and we are just beginning to learn how it underlies the nature of the cosmos.…

From Motherboard. We meet the engineers behind a new, ultrasound-powered injectable microchip. About the size of a grain of salt, the chip could help doctors diagnose illness and monitor vital signs. But believers in vaccine conspiracy theories have hijacked and misrepresented this new tech. We examine what happens when emerging science collides with online rumors…

From Motherboard. When an object called Oumuamua was detected flying through our solar system in 2017, scientists were baffled by its strange behavior. Many said it was just a bizarre space rock, but Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb believes it was most likely a relic of an alien civilization. And he thinks you should believe that…

From Motherboard. The devices you use to give directions, answer questions, and set a timer probably have feminine-sounding voices.
