A team of 20 ambitious students of various disciplinary backgrounds came together to form the TU Delft Solar Team 2021 and enter uncharted waters with Hydro Motion, a boat that not only sails, but flies on hydrogen. After 15 years of building boats successfully powered by sunlight, the 2021 team decided it was time to swap solar panels for a fuel cell to take the next step towards a more sustainab

There is no mistaking the reality that hurricane season is getting more active year over year. That also means the potential for you to find yourself in the path of any strength storm is increasing too.  Earlier this year, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center announced that they were updating their 30-year historical hurricane activity reference period to 1991-2020 from 1981-2010. The signific

The Mining industry continues to apply various methods to improve its financial performance. Most recently, diversity and inclusion became two of the methods many miners turn to.
