Enhancing water harvesting efficiency: Researchers develop unique graphene foam that “harvests” water from air
Most water harvesting systems collect precipitation such as rain or water droplets from fog and other low-lying clouds. But a new device developed by Chinese researchers can get it directly from the atmosphere, provided there is sunlight. The new water collection system features nano-composite foam made from graphene. It relies on sunlight to power its processes, […]

Scientists bewildered by “mysterious crystals” found in the core of giant alien planets
Strange crystals might form in the incredibly hot and pressurized cores of exoplanets in other star systems. Researchers think that these mysterious mineral formations may determine the environmental conditions on the surface of the planet, including the ability to support life. The planets of our solar system fall into one of two groups: They are […]

Super-sized space bubbles in another galaxy are spewing cosmic rays in our direction
You have probably seen a child huffing and puffing and blowing at a bubble blower toy to fill the air with glistening soap bubbles. Researchers identified a galaxy in the universe that is going through a similar phase in its life — except its space bubbles are shooting cosmic rays in the general direction of […]

Scientists use caffeine to give solar cells a unique energy boost
Caffeine helps boost the energy levels and mood of coffee drinkers. But did you know that it could also improve the performance of a new generation of solar panels? Researchers reported that coffee’s primary stimulant increased the efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells, an alternative approach to solar power. When bolstered by caffeine, perovskite solar panels […]

Cleaning up space debris: Researchers develop device to prevent space collisions
Earth’s orbit is getting so cluttered with space debris that researchers fear it will experience a disastrous Kessler syndrome event shortly. Their solution is a semi-autonomous system called OSCaR that will help clean up space debris. Named after the iconic Muppet character that lives in a trash can, the Obsolete Spacecraft Capture and Removal device […]

Electricity in unlikely places: Rock surfaces throughout the planet may act as natural solar panels
Rocks might not strike you as a potential source of clean and renewable energy, much less a substitute for solar panels. But Chinese researchers found that some stones sport metallic coats that naturally convert sunlight into electricity via the same process as photosynthetic organisms. The coating contains iron and manganese, two minerals used in photovoltaic […]

Researchers develop new coating to make lithium metal batteries last longer
When it comes to energy storage technology, researchers are either trying to perfect alternative types of batteries or tweaking the performance of lithium-ion batteries to the absolute limits. One of the latest efforts comes from a New York-based team, who has come up with a new way to extend the life of lithium cells while also ensuring […]

One step closer to faster computers: Magnets blasted by lasers “act like oil and water in a jar”
Magnets rapidly recover their magnetic properties after taking a sharp hit that disrupts their magnetism. Researchers have learned more about this natural ability in an experiment where they fired lasers at slim magnets. The University of Colorado Boulder team examined what happened after a laser beam hit a magnet. They found that the magnetic spins of the […]

Who needs stitches? Unique “slug glue” could be used to make better medical adhesives
The trail of slime left by slugs in the garden might eventually help patch up wounds. Researchers found that the “mucus” produced by a prevalent species of European slug possessed potential as a natural glue to close wounds, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of scars in humans. The slug species in question is the […]

Manufacturing breakthrough: Scientists can now weld glass and metal together
The manufacturing industry has recently welcomed what might prove a breakthrough technology. Scottish researchers showed off a new welding method that uses an incredibly fast laser to fuse together glass and metal. Glass and metal are two of the most common classes of materials used for various purposes. Due to their very different thermal properties, […]
