Rear-end collisions account for 33% of accidents on U.S. roads. This class of accident accounts for 44% of fatalities (50,000 deaths per year).
Detailed analysis of rear-end collision accident reports showed that the majority of rear-end collisions occur on straight highways, in good weather conditions,
In-flight ice accretion poses a persistent challenge to airplane safety by disrupting wing aerodynamics, leading to increased drag and reduced lift. Ice and snow are common experiences for a large segment of the global population,

While this is an extraordinary accomplishment, well deserving of international recognition,
GTA introduces the offshore energy field of the future, wherein offshore gas and oil fields transition to gigawatt-scale fields of subsea green hydrogen and oxygen production powered by offshore wind, marine hydrokinetic energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC).
The innovation introduces a Hybrid Transmission System (the System).
Unlike other mild hybrid configurations, which only enable the administration of TORQUE available from the hybrid set (e.g., internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM)), this new mechanism allows TORQUE and RPM to be managed,
We have developed a cutting-edge, low-cost CubeSat designed specifically for Internet of Things (IoT) communication. This miniaturized satellite embodies a revolutionary approach in the field of space technology, merging affordability with high functionality and reliability. It has been already launched and proved into space.
Dryflips sandals are engineered with a patented, removable toe-drying system that efficiently dries your toes and the spaces between them. Regular use of Dryflips' drying system could significantly reduce the risk of fungal and bacterial infections. (https://www.dryflips.com/).
Large trucks produce excessive greenhouse gasses due to inefficient reciprocating engines and complicated gearboxes. This hovercraft would be much better because it eliminates friction with the road surface due to flexing tyres and suspension. It can also run on alcohol, a non fossil fuel,
Graphene-based supercapacitors offer several key benefits that make them an attractive option for next-generation energy storage devices.
NASA Langley Research Center has developed multiple ways for amorphous robots to autonomously move across a surface without needing conventional wheels or legs. Amorphous robots are useful in dusty and sandy environments in which greater mobility, passive shape changing, and immunity to dust and contamination are important.
