Space might seem like an unlikely front in the battle between world powers, but military satellites are a critical part of modern warfare. Satellite wars have already begun.

That means that everyday technologies could be used for military purposes without anyone knowing about it; this could create new vulnerabilities for us here on Earth when our enemies take over those same technologies for their purposes: Military satellites are a critical part of modern warfare.

The Risks of Investing in Electric Vehicles: An Ideologically Driven Economic Misadventure

The Risks of Investing in Electric Vehicles: An Ideologically Driven Economic Misadventure

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in the United States as more drivers are motivated by the promise of reducing their carbon footprint. Unfortunately, these vehicles are powered by lithium-ion batteries containing rare earth elements. These critical minerals are not easily recyclable or disposable. This poses a real problem for the environment, as landfills will be required to develop practices to dispose of these minerals safely and responsibly. In addition to the environmental issues posed by EV batteries, economic misadventures are also associated with them. EVs are significantly more expensive than traditional vehicles, and their costs are not offset by the money saved in fuel costs. Many EV owners also have to pay for additional charging equipment, increasing the cost of owning an EV. Furthermore, the power grids in many cities are not equipped to handle the sudden surge in demand for electricity that would come from a large number of EVs charging...

Touch Screens on Dashboards Found to be Dangerous

There's no question that touchscreens are great for smartphones and tablets. But when it comes to cars, they're not relatively as safe or easy to use. A new study from the University of California San Diego finds that car buttons are safer and easier to use than touchscreens. It turns out that slapping a giant iPad onto your dashboard isn't an ideal way to control your car. The researchers conducted two studies: one that involved having participants drive a car simulator using either a touchscreen or physical buttons and another where participants used both interfaces while driving real cars on a highway. The results showed that participants were likelier to crash when using the touchscreen than when using buttons. This seems to be because of distraction—people who used the touchscreen interface were more likely to get distracted by other things happening in their environment, like looking at their phones or checking their mirrors. And because there is so much information available...
