Researchers develop new thermoelectric device that uses nighttime temperature to generate electricity
A recent study has developed a novel device that harnesses temperature differences at night to generate electricity. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and Stanford University teamed up to make an electricity generator that works during the cold, dark night. They came up with a thermoelectric device that was able to power an LED, operating without […]

Biodegradable “transparent” timber works just as well as glass in windows
Swedish researchers fiddled with wood until they managed to turn it technically transparent. They also made the biodegradable material capable of absorbing heat from sunlight and releasing it during colder periods. If used in the windows of buildings, the revolutionary material might help save energy by reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. It […]

What is that in the water? Researchers have developed a simple way to trace contamination
The contamination of water, especially with fecal matter from animals or humans, is a serious problem. Pathogens from human or animal wastes can cause life-threatening diseases as well as economic losses. To address fecal pollution of water systems properly, it is important to know the origin of the waste. Human and animal wastes present different health risks; identifying […]

Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology: Once manufactured in a scalable, cost-effective way, researchers hope LOC can revolutionize medicine
Swedish researchers presented a cheap but effective device that can dispense and store precise amounts of liquids. The affordable invention might help accelerate the adoption and widespread deployment of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology. LOCs are the equivalent of tiny but powerful microprocessors. They cram the capabilities of a full-sized health care laboratory into a small and compact package. However, the high […]

Green and clean: Energy-efficient water purification system developed by scientists
Chinese researchers debuted a new photocatalytic disinfectant for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. Made from incredibly thin sheets of graphitic carbon nitride and powered by light instead of electricity, the new disinfectant offered an environment-friendly approach to water purification. In trials, it reportedly purified samples of heavily-contaminated water in just half an hour. It also killed nearly all of […]

Experts developing devices that run 100 times faster than regular computers, and use just a fraction of the energy
Nowadays, it isn’t enough to make a computer chip faster, especially if it is going to use up more electricity as well. So Canadian researchers devised an all-silicon computing device that they built on the atomic scale in order to increase both processing power and energy efficiency. The prototype device is not just the herald of lightning-fast computing […]

Scientists develop new way to turn chicken waste into bio-fuel by mixing it with a toxic weed
The meat and poultry industry processes about 9 billion chickens per year, the bulk of which contain hormones, antibiotics and dangerous bacteria that’s bred and spread in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Besides all the meat winding up in fast food sandwiches, chicken nuggets, and clear-wrapped packages at butcher stations in supermarkets, the skin and […]

A whole new kind of lie detector: Robots in the court room are able to tell when someone is lying
We often rely on lie detectors or polygraphs, but these devices are not always 100 percent accurate. There are other means to determine if an individual is lying, such as by observing micro-movements, or movements that we subconsciously make while lying. These can include anything from a raised eyebrow to tilting our heads. Now, a group […]

Scientists set to make new form of recycled paper from POO
Austrian researchers have come up with a new way to save millions of trees from paper mills. They can extract cellulose from the dung of cows and other herbivores to make recycled paper, according to an American Chemical Society (ACS) article. The University of Vienna researchers presented their findings during the 255th National Meeting & […]

MIT researchers working on a nuclear fusion superconductor that will generate carbon-free limitless energy within 15 years
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have revealed that for the first time ever, nuclear fusion-based renewable energy may be achievable within the next 15 years. This is going to be made possible thanks in part to a collaboration of the university with a private company that goes by the name Commonwealth Fusion […]
