Saturnia is a 328-foot long superyacht concept with its own private port

        Following a swan shaped mega yacht from 2020, lazzarini design studio returns with a 328-foot long (100-meter) superyacht that features a private port for small tenders. called ‘saturnia’, the superyacht concept is conceived to be built entirely with dry carbon fiber structures to make it 50% lighter than similar-sized vessels and to afford a top speed of 30 knots. images and videos courtesy of lazzarini design studio     the main body of saturnia subdivides into five floors plus the top antenna area. the vessel can be configured into different layouts, accommodating between 10 and 20 guest suites and 20 crew members. the top deck...

Siberia hit by unprecedented heatwave and forest fires

A heatwave in one of the world’s coldest regions has sparked forest fires and threatened the Siberian city of Yakutsk with an 'airpocalypse' of thick toxic smoke, atmospheric monitoring services have reported. Local authorities have warned the 320,000 residents to stay indoors to avoid choking fumes from the blazes, which are on course to break last year’s record. Officials have described this summer’s weather as the driest in the past 150 years

Crystal catalyst converts methane into methanol at room temperature

Crystal catalyst converts methane into methanol at room temperature

Scientists have found a way to convert methane into methanol at room temperature. Using a common crystal as a catalyst, the technique could eventually reduce methane escaping into the atmosphere by turning it into a useful liquid fuel instead. As a greenhouse gas, methane is 34 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and levels in the atmosphere are rising fast. One of the biggest sources is “fugitive” emissions caused by leaks during extraction, processing, storage or transport of natural gas, which accounts for up to 3.9 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. A possible alternative is to convert the gaseous methane into liquid methanol,...
