Next-generation solar cells mimic photosynthesis

Next-generation solar cells that mimic photosynthesis with biological material may give new meaning to the term “green technology.” Adding the protein bacteriorhodopsin (bR) to perovskite solar cells boosted the efficiency of the devices in a series of laboratory tests, according to an international team of researchers. “These findings open the door for the development of

A different approach to turning carbon dioxide into valuable fuels

Lab’s ‘green’ invention reduces carbon dioxide into valuable fuels A common greenhouse gas could be repurposed in an efficient and environmentally friendly way with an electrolyzer that uses renewable electricity to produce pure liquid fuels. The catalytic reactor developed by the Rice University lab of chemical and biomolecular engineer Haotian Wang uses carbon dioxide as its feedstock and, in its latest

Facial movements are an inexact gauge of a person’s feelings, behaviors, and intentions

Software that purports to read emotions in faces is being deployed or tested for a variety of purposes, including surveillance, hiring, clinical diagnosis, and market research. But a new scientific report finds that facial movements are an inexact gauge of a person’s feelings, behaviors, and intentions. “It is not possible to confidently infer happiness from

Saving electricity and costs by filtering liquids with liquids

Liquid-gated membrane filtration system improves industrial wastewater purification and saves energy Filtering and treating water, both for human consumption and to clean industrial and municipal wastewater, accounts for about 13% of all electricity consumed in the US every year and releases about 290 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually – roughly equivalent to

3D printers have unique fingerprints that can be used to trace the origin of 3D-printed goods

Like fingerprints, no 3D printer is exactly the same. That’s the takeaway from a new University at Buffalo-led study that describes what’s believed to be the first accurate method for tracing a 3D-printed object to the machine it came from. The advancement, which the research team calls “PrinTracker,” could ultimately help law enforcement and intelligence agencies track

Wounds sealed in 60 seconds with new elastic glue

Emergency treatments could be transformed, saving lives A highly elastic and adhesive surgical glue that quickly seals wounds without the need for common staples or sutures could transform how surgeries are performed. Biomedical engineers from the University of Sydney and the United States collaborated on the development of the potentially life-saving surgical glue, called MeTro.

New approach to antennas means they can be up to 1000 times smaller

Acoustic resonance waves are roughly 10 thousand times—smaller than electromagnetic waves Good things come in small packages. This is especially true in the world of portable wireless communications systems. Cell phones, wearables, and implantable electronics have shrunk over time, which has made them more useful in many cases. But a critical component of these devices—the

Zapping soil contaminants with lasers could be cheaper and more efficient

A recently proposed method using lasers to remove soil contaminants may be cheaper and more efficient than conventional methods There might be a new and improved way to rid contaminated soil of toxins and pollutants: zap it with lasers. By directly breaking down pollutants, researchers say, high-powered lasers can now be more efficient and cheaper
