Are lithium batteries for cars dead?
US military research into lower risk alternatives to lithium-ion batteries has led to the development of a new nanoelectrofuel for use in flow batteries. Flow batteries currently address all the downsides of lithium-ion batteries but can't deliver the same energy density - until now.  Researchers have discovered that by adding nanofluids to the normal aqueous solutions (electrolytes), they can boost a flow battery's energy density by 15 to 25 times, making it comparable to any petrol-powered vehicle, much less lithium-ion battery EV's - without any of the associated downsides of either!https://spectrum.ieee.org/flow-battery-2666672335

AI Water Safety Platform Prevents Drownings Before They Happen
According to the World Health Organization, at least 236,000 people lose their lives each year in the water. When Israeli business Adam Bismut saw a man lose his life by drowning at the Dead Sea he was determined to stop such tragedies; he invented Sightbit. The first part of the platform is reading the state of the water: The AI can recognize a range of wave movements and detect any dangerous areas for swimmers, kayakers and anyone in or on the water. The second detects people and objects in and near the water... For more and the reference: https://israeltrade.org.au/2024/01/22/ai-water-safety-platform-prevents-drownings-before-they-happen/
