Rev. Dr. Gifty Lamptey rose from catering worker to agricultural innovator, transforming Ghana's farming sector with game-changing liquid fertilizer technology. Her company now empowers farmers across West Africa while her humanitarian work uplifts communities nationwide.
An MIT spinoff just cracked the code on producing gallium domestically, tackling China's 99 percent control of a metal crucial to defense and semiconductors. Found Industries turned a supply chain problem into a national security solution.
Scientists can now vaporize old electronics at 3,000°C to extract gold, silver, and other precious metals without toxic waste. The process costs 13 times less than traditional mining and uses up to 500 times less energy.
Engineers can now print a fully functional electric motor in about three hours for 50 cents, potentially ending costly factory delays from broken parts. MIT researchers developed a breakthrough platform that prints complex machines using multiple materials in one step.
Electric vehicle maker Scout Motors is opening applications for its first assembly line workers at its new South Carolina plant, with jobs paying up to $37.50 per hour. No factory experience required.
Three metal detector hobbyists in Maryborough, Australia, tracked down a World War II veteran's family to return his dog tags after seven decades. The lost military identification had been buried and forgotten until the detectorists discovered them and made it their mission to reunite them with their rightful home.
After three decades of manufacturing in India, Tata Motors just rolled out its one-millionth vehicle from its Lucknow facility. The milestone vehicle? A zero-emission electric bus.
Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a breakthrough drug that could lead to new treatments for Motor Neurone Disease and other conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The molecule successfully targets a previously hard-to-reach immune receptor, opening doors to safer anti-inflammatory therapies.
A California startup has invented a pollution-free way to refine rare earth metals using plasma reactors, potentially ending China's stranglehold on materials critical for electronics and clean energy. The breakthrough could reshape global supply chains while eliminating toxic waste.
Researchers in Tokyo just proved that an overlooked sideways force in electricity can spin motors made entirely of plastic, no magnets required. This breakthrough could make future devices lighter, cheaper, and safer.
England's 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Lewis Moody is tackling motor neurone disease with renewed optimism after a specialist gave him something rare: hope. He's planning a 500-mile bike ride to turn that hope into action for others.
University of Queensland researchers have developed a breakthrough drug that could transform Motor Neurone Disease from a terminal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition within five years. The discovery unlocks a previously untargetable immune receptor that plays a key role in neurodegenerative diseases.
