Scientists in China have now identified a key chemical that promotes the formation of these devastating clusters, opening up new possibilities when it comes to controlling their behavior and limiting the damage they cause.

Ten-million-dollar automobiles are few and far between: just 48 automobiles have sold for more than US$10 million since the barrier was first breached on 17 May 2009 when a Ferrari Testa Rossa sold for $12.4 million in Italy. So far this year, there hasn't been a car sold for eight figures, but one auction to be held at the Concours of Elegance on September 5, 2020 could see three cars all surpass that mark inside two hours.

Perovskite and organic solar cells have proven promising alternatives to the widespread silicon-based devices, and now they’ve been tested in space for the first time. Not only did these solar cells perform well, but they’re much thinner and lighter than those currently used and were found to absorb even diffuse light reflected back from Earth.

Supercapacitors hold incredible potential when it comes to energy storage, with an ability to charge and discharge almost instantly being one of their major selling points. Were key components for these next-generation devices to come from sustainable sources that would only add to the appeal, and scientists at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) are offering up this possibility in the form of a nanomaterial made from upcycled plastic waste.

Earlier this year, GSI Outdoors introduced the Pinnacle Pro stove, the thinnest dual-burner car camping stove our eyes have ever landed upon. With a few quick folds, the Pinnacle Pro goes from a slim, easy-carry package to a full-firing cooktop. The planned June launch got delayed by everyone's favorite neighborhood pandemic, but GSI has now turned to crowdfunding to get this sleek stove onto teardrop trailer countertops and campground tabletops everywhere.
