A couple of years ago, Mozilla announced an ambitious initiative, dubbed Electrolysis, to re-engineer Firefox to add native support for multiple processes. This meant that the UI ran in a different process than all the tabs, add-ons and so on.There are many benefits to this, better responsiveness, more crash protecti... |

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in Cambridge, recently used abundant and inexpensive materials to create a new type of high-efficiency oxygen catalyst. They say that the chemical could be used for both hydrogen-based fuel production and improving rechargeable batteries.
The most remar... |

A group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in Cambridge, announce the development of an “artificial leaf,” a device capable of harnessing solar energy in very much the same way, and with similar levels of performance, as a natural leaf. The new system's natural counterp... |

Google Chrome may have been designed from the ground up with multiple processes in mind, but re-engineering Firefox for the same task isn't as easy.
Mozilla doesn't have the engineering prowess of Google either, but the effort of redesigning Firefox with a multi-process architecture at core is still und... |

Firefox 3.5 was shipped to the general public on June 30th, 2009, and now Mozilla is turning its attention to the next iteration of the open-source browser. Upcoming versions of Firefox will share a feature with rivals Chrome and Internet Explorer 8. Essentially Mozilla is looking to implement an enhancement designed... |

A new type of material developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is now revealed by chemist Daniel Nocera as a possible means to conduct water electrolysis processes at room temperatures with the input of relatively low electric currents. The material could be used to chemically store solar energy and ef... |

It seems that wind action alone is not enough to account for the observed effects during sandstorms, thus scientists went searching for an alternative explanation, which strangely could also lift the mystery hovering above some weird effects seen on the Red Planet. It is a well-known fact that bodies rubbing against ... |

The process is somehow similar to that which involves the wastewater cleaning operation, but tweaked a little, so that common bacteria that clean the waters will produce hydrogen instead, in a new efficient way. An experiment conducted at Penn State University has already successfully used microbes to produce electri... |
