Techy Trash Cans Take Japan by Storm as Tourists Flock to Cities!

Adarsh V.K

As the number of tourists and the volume of garbage increases, cities in Japan are now adopting “smart” bins to maintain their traditionally spotless streets, which have been devoid of visible trash cans. This week, Osaka’s Dotonbori district installed around 20 new technological trash cans called SmaGO. Using solar panels, the bin automatically detects when it is full and then compresses the waste by about 20%. It’s also connected to a smartphone app that analyzes data on the amount of trash and sends alerts to workers before it’s full. “Some…

Japan Unveils X-ray Telescope with Enhanced Capabilities

Sanjay Patil, , ,

On September 6 at 7:42 PM EDT, Japan’s space agency successfully launched a rocket carrying a highly advanced telescope. This telescope, known as XRISM or “crism,” surpasses the capabilities of NASA’s Chandra and other existing X-ray observatories in orbit. The mission, led by JAXA in collaboration with NASA and the European Space Agency, marks a significant advancement in X-ray observations, according to University of Michigan astronomer and mission participant, Lia Corrales. The telescope is considered more powerful than its predecessors because of its tools. One of them, called Resolve, is…

Japan is trying to send solar energy from space by 2025

Nitin Misra, , ,

Japan and the country’s space agency JAXA have spent decades trying to make solar energy available from space. In 2015, the country made a breakthrough when JAXA researchers sent 1.8 kilowatts of energy, enough to power a kettle, from a radio receiver over 50 meters away. And now Japan is preparing to bring the technology one step closer to reality. Nikkei reports that a Japanese public-private partnership is trying to send solar energy from space as early as 2025. The project, led by Naoki Shinohara, a professor at Kyoto University…
