This clean technology makes possible the industrial-scale production of commercializable bio-based plastics

Introducing a simple step to the production of plant-derived, biodegradable plastic could improve its properties while overcoming obstacles to manufacturing it commercially, says new research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Jiangnan University. That step? Bringing the heat. Nebraska’s Yiqi Yang and colleagues found that raising the temperature of bio-plastic fibers to several hundred degrees

Laser with the intensity of 1 billion suns changes the behavior of light

Physicists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are seeing an everyday phenomenon in a new light. By focusing laser light to a brightness 1 billion times greater than the surface of the sun — the brightest light ever produced on Earth — the physicists have observed changes in a vision-enabling interaction between light and matter. Those

UNL researcher finds gold — metal-detecting biosensors under development

Instead of a pan and a pick ax, prospectors of the future might seek gold with a hand-held biosensor that uses a component of DNA to detect traces of the element in water. The gold sensor is the latest in a series of metal-detecting biosensors under development by Rebecca Lai, an associate professor of chemistry

De-icing concrete could improve roadway safety, guard against corporate espionage

A 200-square-foot slab of seemingly ordinary concrete sits just outside the Peter Kiewit Institute as snowflakes begin parachuting toward Omaha on a frigid afternoon in late December. The snow accumulates on the grass surrounding the slab and initially clings to the concrete, too. But as the minutes pass and the snow begins melting from only

The Quantified Cow: Wearables Will Monitor Animals As Closely As Humans

In the future, everything is going to be connected to the Internet—even our farm animals. We’ll track cattle the same way we monitor human health: with always-on, wearable devices that follow animals wherever they go. Several startups are working on these Fitbits for the farm yard. They hope to make detecting illness easier, and ultimately
