European regulators are pushing hard for greener energy. The REPowerEU plan calls for 10 million additional heat pumps to be added by 2027, and solar panels are also on the rise. But most installations are done by small businesses that could be more productive with better work processes. This is where German startup Reonic comes
An artist’s interpretation of NASA’s fully-deployed Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) in orbit around Earth. (Image credit: NASA) A NASA spacecraft that recently unfurled a state-of-the-art solar sail in Earth orbit is “tumbling or wobbling” through space as it circles our planet, new observations show. NASA representatives told Live Science that the unusual motion
