How Plastics to Fuel can become the next Green Machine By: Gabe CG


This article was very interesting and it made me think about the future and what it could hold. The article was about how fuel could be gotten from non-recycled plastics. Plastic is transformed into fuel and this helps everyone including the government, businesses and consumers. Once people realize that their trash has value it wont be wasted. The hydrocarbons in the plastics are bonded with the fuel material and fuel is gotten from it. This fuel is still a few more years in development, but it could really help solve pollution problems and be good for the economy as well. In conclusion, plastics may be the fuel of the near future helping the planet and people alike.

Breakthrough in Cloaking Technology By: Gabe CG


I read the article titled: Breakthrough in cloaking technology grabs military attention. It was a very interesting article. At UC San Diego, scientist Boubacar Kante tested the first dielectric meta-surface cloak. the cloak manipulates electromagnetic waves, making the thing underneath invisible Waves don't bounce off the substance, so radar and vision cant pick it up. It could be used by the military to hide and sneak into hostile territory. However its not done yet and only works at certain angles. The scientist also said It would be easy to manufacture and will come out in about 5-10 years.
This article was fascinating and I learned a lot about the new technologies coming out every year.
