Are climate-friendly cattle farms possible with a genetic breakthrough on tropical grass?

The discovery of genes responsible for asexual reproduction in a tropical grass may reduce negative impacts of cattle farming. The grass captures carbon, reduces gas emissions from soils, restores degraded land, and improves cattle health and productivity Cattle are a mainstay for many smallholders but their farms are often on degraded lands, which increases cattle’s

The motion of graphene could be used as a source of clean limitless energy

Graphene is a seemingly impossible material. For years, scientists had theorized that lifting a single layer of carbon atoms from a chunk of graphite could produce the first two-dimensional material, which they called graphene. Finally, in 2004, this was accomplished by two physicists at the University of Manchester, who earned the Nobel Prize in Physics

Spaser can find metastasized cancer cells in the blood stream and kill them

A nanolaser known as the spaser can serve as a super-bright, water-soluble, biocompatible probe capable of finding metastasized cancer cells in the blood stream and then killing these cells, according to a new research study. The study found the spaser can be used as an optical probe and when released into the body (possibly through

Plastics to dust — a dream about to come true

Biodegradable plastics from a plentiful natural resource Wolfgang Glasser says he was hesitant at first when a start-up company asked him to be their chief scientific officer. But then the professor emeritus of sustainable biomaterials realized that cycle Wood Solutions Inc. could make his dream — biodegradable plastics from a plentiful natural resource — a reality. During his

‘Shakers’ Help Engineers Develop Inexpensive System for Testing Condition of Bridges

Research employs popular devices used in home entertainment systems Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a new and inexpensive system to test the structural condition of short- to medium-span bridges. The system employs a network of tactile transducers – small-scale, inexpensive and off-the-shelf devices that create the sensation of shaking through feedback

Filmmaking Magic With Polymers

Think about windows coated with transparent film that absorbs harmful ultraviolet sunrays and uses them to generate electricity. Consider a water filtration membrane that blocks viruses and other microorganisms from water, or an electric car battery that incorporates a coating to give it extra long life between charges. The self-assembled copolymer block film that makes
