Hearts can be programmed to survive without oxygen

University of Manchester and University of North Texas scientists are the first to show that an embryonic living heart can be programmed to survive the effects of a low oxygen environment in later life. The BBSRC funded study of juvenile Common Snapping Turtles for the first time explains the heart’s biological mechanisms which help Turtles

Nuclear Waste: Can we just immobilize it in ceramics and glass?

Rutgers professor Ashutosh Goel invents way to contain radioactive iodine How do you handle nuclear waste that will be radioactive for millions of years, keeping it from harming people and the environment? It isn’t easy, but Rutgers researcher Ashutosh Goel has discovered ways to immobilize such waste – the offshoot of decades of nuclear weapons

Improved crop performance with new simple biotechnology

Farmers can use fewer resources to grow food With the world’s population exploding to well over 7 billion, feeding the human race is getting even more challenging. Increasing the yield from crops such as wheat, maize, rice and barley, is paramount to growing enough food. In addition, crop production is now affected by stressors such

Researchers create first metal-free catalyst for rechargeable zinc-air batteries

“Maybe it’s time to push for metal-free catalysts in commercial devices,” Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and the University of North Texas have made what they believe is the first metal-free bifunctional electrocatalyst that performs as well or better than most metal and metal oxide electrodes in zinc-air batteries. Zinc-air batteries are expected to

Is the slumping solar market temporary or a long-term trend?

The news coming out of the solar industry has been downright contrary over the last few weeks. On the R&D side, we’ve covered new breakthroughs in materials science that could dramatically reduce pricesand highlighted the invention of semi-transparent cells that allow 70% of light to pass through them unhindered. News on other fronts shows strong demand for solar
