Simple membrane cuts oil refining costs
Researchers at KAIST and Georgia Tech built a membrane to filter crude oil at room temperature. It uses the oil to form microscopic channels, cutting energy use by 32%, carbon emissions by 38%, and operating costs by 36%.
This turns common filtration buildup into microscopic pathways, avoiding the high costs and defects typical of complex coated membranes.

Pentagon partners with robotics startup for mass-produced drones
The Pentagon awarded a $9 million contract to Machina Labs to build modular factories for mass-producing low-cost attack drones. This 18-month project creates metal airframes for the LUCAS uncrewed combat system.
These modular facilities allow for rapid, scalable production of autonomous systems. By using AI-powered robotic arms, the military replaces slow manufacturing with flexible, quick assembly.

NASA's quiet supersonic plane makes its public debut
On November 6, NASA publicly showcased its experimental X-59 aircraft in Florida ✈️, designed to break the sound barrier without the usual loud bang.
Instead of an explosive crack, its unusual pointy nose turns the sonic shockwave into a muffled sound like a closing door.

CATL works on new electric vehicle batteries
CATL is developing lithium batteries designed to give electric vehicles a 2,000 km range. The system uses oxygen from the surrounding air to reach five times the energy density of solid-state options. 🔋
Unlike standard batteries, this approach removes internal storage limits, though moisture filtering remains a major hurdle.
