A promising new method uses acoustics to capture microplastics in water

Microplastics are receiving a lot of attention lately due to its difficulty in removal from the environment. Sieves and filtrations are currently the predominant way to capture microplastics in water. However, this is impractical because filters clog easily and regularly need to be cleaned or replaced. Another issue is that it has been impossible to

A new approach to refrigeration

A research team of Tohoku University, Nissan Motor Co., Shinshu University, and Okayama University made a groundbreaking discovery in the quest to replace hydrofluorocarbons in refrigeration systems with natural refrigerants such as water and alcohol. Their study involved carrying-out a liquid-to-gas phase transition via a nanosponge, a soft, elastic material equipped with small nanopores less

One step closer to artificial muscles with gel-based robotics

Scientists are one step closer to artificial muscles. Orthotics have come a long way since their initial wood and strap designs, yet innovation lapsed when it came to compensating for muscle power–until now. A collaborative research team has designed a wearable robot to support a person’s hip joint while walking. The team, led by Minoru Hashimoto,

Mist-Collecting Plants May ‘Bioinspire’ Technology to Help Alleviate Global Water Shortages

Mimicking a unique water collection-and-release feature found in plants with tiny conical “hairs” or microfibers on the surface of their leaves may enable a technology capable of pulling fresh water from the air. Plants living in arid, mountainous and humid regions of the planet often rely on their leaves to obtain the moisture they need

Super-Stretchable Yarn Is Made of Graphene

Researchers at Penn State and Shinshu University in Japan have developed a simple, scalable method of making graphene oxide (GO) fibers that are strong, stretchable and can be easily scrolled into yarns with strengths approaching that of Kevlar. The researchers made a thin film of graphene oxide by chemically exfoliating graphite into graphene flakes, which
