Scientists from the University of the Philippines-Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) have developed a new semiconductor structure that could lead to more affordable and reliable terahertz (THz) technology—used in applications ranging from medical imaging to high-speed wireless communication. One of the goals in THz research is to make THz-Time Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS) widely usable; this […]

On July 23, the SMX Convention Center Aura in Bonifacio Global City will become the hub of the country’s AI (artificial intelligence) conversation, as AICon PH 2025 brings together decision-makers, professionals, educators, and students for a full day of learning, collaboration, and community. Now on its 10th year, what started in 2016 as the Big

This series of screengrabs of a video taken during an aircraft engineer’s pre-flight check of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner shows the two fuel control switches labeled “run” (switch on) and “cut off” (switch off). The engineer demonstrates that pulling up the switch is needed in order to run the fuel control. Pulling up the lever

Scientists from the University of the Philippines-Diliman College of Science’s Institute of Chemistry (UPD-CS IC) have published a comprehensive analysis of existing techniques for detecting methanol—an industrial chemical highly toxic to humans—in lambanog, a popular traditional alcoholic beverage in the Philippines. Emphasizing that methanol can be dangerous—even fatal—at high concentrations, Kristine Anne Ladines and Dr.

The mere mention of this Italian marque’s name already evokes the spirit and romance of the racetrack. Maserati has become one of the most famous brands in motorsport. That’s speed, combined with elegance, and more importantly for these times, resilience, to overcome obstacles over the decades. Maserati has all that typifies a traditional upper-crust Italian

Honda’s e:HEV original two-motor hybrid system realizes elevated levels of both environmental and driving performance, reflecting a commitment to motor and engine efficiency. The system continues to evolve as a core technology in the electrification of Honda vehicles. The next generation of e:HEV systems will further enhance environmental performance and the sophisticated and exhilarating driving

Stuck in traffic again, watching your fuel gauge—and your money—go down? You’re not alone. For many Filipinos, the weekly agony of fluctuating gas prices feels like a never-ending cycle. But what if the solution isn’t just surviving the next price hike, but leaving gasoline behind altogether? Across the globe, a high-stakes race is underway to

“One big factor in alliances is that you share common goals. What do we want? And it’s not just to win the competition, but to champion girls. This was what solidified our foundation.” These were the words of Michaela Louise Bagtas, a grade 10 student from Rizal National Science High School, after being hailed among

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common bacterium that lives in the intestines of animals and humans, and it is often used to identify fecal contamination within the environment. E. coli can also easily develop resistance to antibiotics, making it an ideal organism for testing antimicrobial resistance—especially in certain agricultural environments where fecal material is

Filipino scientists have discovered a simple, affordable way to make dynamically adjustable water-based lenses that have a wide variety of potential future applications—from classrooms and research labs to cameras and even wearable gadgets. By coating an ordinary glass slide with specially prepared polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, the researchers were able to create a hydrophobic surface
