  • Device Generates Electricity at Night Using Infrared Radiation

    Device Generates Electricity at Night Using Infrared Radiation
    Oct 2 2024
    A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has developed a device that uses a special semiconductor component to capture infrared radiation emitted by the Earth and convert it into electricity.The idea of generating electricity after the Sun sets might seem impossible, but the UNSW team has created a new technology to make this a reality, according to a report by Interesting Engineering on September 28. They have tested the device on Earth and are now planning to evaluate its usability in space. Their technology works on the principle of thermoradiative power generation, which involves harnessing the temperature difference between the Earth’s surface and the coldness of space.

  • What Would the Process of Drilling Through the Earth Look Like?

    What Would the Process of Drilling Through the Earth Look Like?
    Oct 2 2024
    To penetrate the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, a drill would need to be made from specialized materials capable of withstanding enormous heat and pressure.Although humans have never drilled through the Earth, scientists can make some predictions about this process based on data from previous drilling projects. The Earth's diameter is 12,756 km, so drilling through the planet would require a massive drill and decades of work.

  • Earth's Crustal Plate Flipped Beneath the Mediterranean

    Earth's Crustal Plate Flipped Beneath the Mediterranean
    Oct 2 2024
    As the African and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly collide, part of the Earth's crust now lies upside down deep beneath the Mediterranean.Spain frequently experiences unusually deep earthquakes. A new study published in The Seismic Record suggests that these events may be related to an overturned tectonic plate, according to Science Alert on February 29. Since 1954, there have been five major earthquakes in close proximity, occurring at depths greater than 600 km beneath the city of Granada, Spain, according to geologist Daoyuan Sun from the University of Science and Technology of China and Meghan Miller from the Australian National University. Earthquakes at such great depths are often accompanied by strong aftershocks. However, when Sun and Miller analyzed seismic data from a 2010 earthquake in Spain, they found no aftershocks.
