Rocks could be the next best thing in energy storage
Beneath the waters off the coasts of certain countries lie layers of rocks that can allow the passage of air and water through them. Scottish researchers suggested that the porous rock formations off the North Sea coastline of the U.K. could serve as storage areas for renewable energy over long periods of time. Based on the […]

Finally a use for biosludge: Scientists recycle biosolids into construction-ready bricks
Recycling is all well and good. But there should be a logical limit as to which waste products should be reused and how they are going to be recycled. For example, turning biosolids into bricks sounds good on paper, but people may not be so eager about building their homes out of solidified sewage. “Biosolids” is the euphemistic term for the leftover sewage sludge of […]

Commercial octopus farming could have a “negative ripple effect on sustainability and animal welfare,” warns scientists
Experts spoke out against the ongoing attempts to raise and farm octopus on a commercial scale. They said that domesticating the delicious but vulnerable cephalophod will not only be cruel to the animals, but will also be even more unsustainable than most aquatic farming. “We are all living during the rapid domestication of aquatic species and research is almost […]

Carbon emissions can now be upcycled into usable energy
South Korean researchers came up with a new clean energy generation system that could capture, use, and store carbon-based air pollutants. In addition to producing both electricity and hydrogen fuel, it also prevented the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Their hybrid sodium-carbon dioxide (Na-CO2) system used an aqueous solution to swiftly dissolve CO2 in […]

Healing hearts: Scientists discover a protein that promotes the growth of small arteries that can supply oxygen to damaged heart tissues
Researchers discovered a protein that encourages the formation of small arteries in a mice model. They believe that these newly formed arteries could help heal damage caused by cardiovascular disease and supply the heart with fresh oxygen. Researchers from the Stanford School of Medicine were inspired to do the study after observing the different outcomes of patients with blockages […]

Researchers use 3D printers to make a state-of-the-art “artificial nose” that can detect toxic gases
There is almost no scent that could escape the gas sensor developed by Canadian researchers. Dubbed the “artificial nose” because it performed almost as well as the actual organ on humans, the new odor detector could analyze all kinds of scents, including dangerous gases that might cause harm to humans if inhaled. In their official statement, University […]

Japanese satellite will drop “meteors” over the city of Hiroshima
If you live in the Japanese region of Hiroshima, want a very special firework display, and have millions to splurge, you can contact a “space entertainment company” called ALE. Their newly launched satellite could create an artificial meteor shower in the skies above the city on demand. Called Sky Canvas, the Japanese microsatellite is the first of […]

Secret messages: Laser-based revolutionary technology allows researchers to send messages across noisy rooms using water vapor
Lasers can perform all kinds of roles depending on their power and frequency. Their newest application is transmitting audio signals to a person, who can hear the message clearly with no need for specialized receiver equipment. The laser-based communications technology is suitable for both mundane and critical situations. It could serve as a means of dialogue for two parties who […]

Researchers develop plant-like soft robot that can mimic tendrils
Italy now hosts the world’s very first soft robot that can move like the tendrils of a plant. Whereas other non-flying robots use mechanical limbs to scurry over surfaces, this one can curl around objects and climb surfaces like a vine. The movements of the slender robot is powered by the same hydraulic system that […]

Rethink satellite production: Using affordable, sustainable materials can minimize space junk and address engineering problems
Space is for everyone – that is to say, everyone at the lead of the space race who can afford large satellites and the rockets to put them in space. But researchers suggest that changing the way satellites are built and deployed could solve a lot of problems, including the issue of space junk. The […]
