Good vibrations: Quiet, bladeless wind turbine can generate power without harming wildlife
Bladeless wind “turbines” that wobble like inflatable tube “guy” outside car dealerships could be the wind-harnessing tool of the future. The current design stands 10 feet tall and generates about 100–200 kilowatts (kW), according to a recent report from The Daily Mail. David Yanez invented these turbines, known as the Vortex Bladeless. His six-person startup, based just […]

New model suggests several planets in the universe might have water-rich atmospheres
Most life-forms on Earth would not survive if the planet had no atmosphere. Mars, frozen and sun-blasted, is a perfect example of what can happen to a planet that loses its atmosphere or didn’t have one to begin with. Experts have long been scouring the universe for planets with atmospheres like Earth’s to no avail. Now, a new model developed by […]

Future homes may soon be made of eco-friendly mushroom “bricks”
Mushrooms make for a savory, vitamin D-rich addition to a balanced diet. But it turns out, they make for more environmentally friendly “bricks,” too. Lightweight, durable and biodegradable, mushrooms are proving to be a good alternative for bricks made from clay, concrete and other conventional but polluting construction materials. How it works is agricultural waste materials […]

This Spanish city is squeezing electricity from leftover oranges
Seville, the capital city of the Andalusia region in southern Spain, is popular for its orange trees. However, they are less a source of pride for locals and more a nuisance. The trees produce bitter fruits that are unsuitable for eating. Normally, they are simply left to fall and rot or get squashed by cars, […]

Greener materials: Scientists use algae to make light carbon fibers that are as hard as steel
Algae is a diverse group of aquatic organisms capable of producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Scientists have been studying algae for their potential as a source of fuel, but many others are also starting to explore algae’s immense potential in biotechnology. In the algae technical facility at the Technical University of Munich […]

New super-enzyme “eats” plastic six times faster
Scientists have created a super-enzyme that can degrade plastic bottles up to six times faster than a previously discovered plastic-eating enzyme. The synergistic enzyme “cocktail” combines PETase and MHETase. These enzymes are produced by Ideonella sakaiensis, a bacterium that has evolved the ability to eat polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a strong, synthetic fiber used in creating plastic […]

Scientists turn pumpkin seeds and peel into greener packaging that could soon replace plastic
Packaging has a major role in the protection and shelf-life extension of food products. For decades, food producers and manufacturers had used plastic-based packaging because it is cheap and accessible. But due to the alarming plastic pollution problem that continues to escalate around the globe, scientists are beginning to look into biodegradable substitutes for plastic […]

Other planets may be home to more diverse life forms than Earth, suggest scientists
The existence of planets orbiting distant stars outside of Earth’s solar system has accelerated the search for life in space. But despite the fact that these planets, called exoplanets, are too far off to explore using current space technologies, scientists think that they might possess a greater potential for life than Earth itself. Stephanie Olson, an astrobiologist […]

Scientists develop brain stimulation techniques using light therapy that offer mental health benefits
Current studies on brain science affirm that light can stimulate brain cells (neurons). This general field and technique is called optogenetics and scientists use it to better understand the neural connections, electrical impulses and chemical signals that occur in the brain. In 2019, Shuo Chen, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California in Berkeley received […]

Eggshells may one day be used to repair bones, experts claim
Eggshells can be used to grow new bones for bone grafts, reported a recent study published in Biomaterials Science. A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) developed a hydrogel scaffold containing pulverized eggshells that can support the growth of new bones. And because the material can enhance the ability of bone cells to grow and harden, the researchers […]
