Using solar steam to clean wastewater

Manufacturers have begun looking for solutions to lower the cost of wastewater disposal. One way for them to reduce the volume of contaminated water is to evaporate water on site by using solar steam. In early 2019, Rioglass Solar, a supplier based in Spain, installed a solar steam system at the Los Frailes copper mine …

Margaret Hamilton popularized the term ‘software engineering’ while leading nearly 100 developers on Apollo, partly to win respect for a discipline so new it was not yet a recognised field when her team’s code helped land Apollo 11 on the Moon September 21, 2026
Margaret Hamilton was 32 and running a team of nearly 100 developers at MIT when she coined the phrase 'software engineering' — half as a joke, half as a demand for respect. Six weeks later, her team's code became the first ever to run on the Moon. The post Margaret Hamilton popularized the term ‘software […]
How did a Sahel nation facing advancing desert regrow roughly 5 million hectares of trees on farmland by changing one rule about who owns the seedlings sprouting in a farmer’s field? September 21, 2026
Over two decades, roughly 5 million hectares of Niger's degraded farmland regrew an estimated 200 million trees — not through planting, but through a change in who legally owns a sprout in a farmer's field. The post How did a Sahel nation facing advancing desert regrow roughly 5 million hectares of trees on farmland by […]
Every normally sighted human eye has a blind spot about as wide as three small coins held side by side at arm’s length, created where the optic nerve exits the retina and leaves no photoreceptors, and the brain quietly paints over the gap using whatever pattern surrounds it September 21, 2026
Every human eye has a permanent blind spot where the optic nerve exits the retina, roughly the size of a small coin at arm's length. The brain hides it by painting in whatever pattern surrounds the gap — a trick so seamless it is now being used to test theories of consciousness. The post Every […]

Home energy sales in 2026: Why solar companies are expanding beyond panels September 25, 2026
For years, the residential solar pitch was: Reduce your electricity bill, go green, here’s your payback period. And for years, it largely worked. But today’s market is different. (Perhaps you’ve heard of The New Shape of Solar?) Utility rates have risen. Grid reliability has declined. EVs are in more driveways. Read the full story on… […]
