Space Elevator To Become True Thanks To Japanese Scientists


The Japan Space Elevator Association have developed a space elevator to give up space traveling via rockets to elevators. The cable used to move the elevators is based on nanotube technology making it 180 times stronger than steel. The main reason for replacing the launching rockets is the cost of the travel making it 100 [...]

Energy Giant To Build CO2 Emissions-Free Coal Power Plant


Vattenfall is one of the biggest energy company in Europe. The problem is that they produce coal-based energy which produces high amounts of CO2 that harm the environment and cause global warming. Now, thanks to a new project, Vattenfall will be able to produce coal-based energy without any CO2 emissions.
Seems pretty unbelievable but Lars Josefsson, [...]
