Chemists present new process to produce hydrated electrons Advances in environmental technology: You don’t need complex filters and laser systems to destroy persistent pollutants in wa... Read more
Given the right circumstances, water on Mars could hold more oxygen than previously believed, theoretically enough to support aerobic respiration A team led by scientists at Caltech and the... Read more
Without water, no form of life as we know it could exist. There is therefore great interest in detecting liquid water on other planets of our Solar System. Landforms such as dry river valley... Read more
Transparent and viscous, a new synthetic hydrogel from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineers is taking cues from nature. The new hydrogel’s toughness is comparable to the bon... Read more
A common criticism of a total transition to wind, water and solar power is that the U.S. electrical grid can’t affordably store enough standby electricity to keep the system stable. St... Read more
Using semi-conductive polymers, both analog and digital electronic circuits can be created inside living flowers, bushes and trees, as researchers at Linköping University Laboratory for Orga... Read more
Researchers at BYU have devised a system to speed up the process of making life-saving vaccines for new viruses. Their concept is to create the biological machinery for vaccine production en... Read more
For a piloted mission to Mars, fueling up on the moon could streamline cargo by 68 percent Launching humans to Mars may not require a full tank of gas: A new MIT study suggests that a Martia... Read more
Over the last four years, foreign hackers have stolen source code and blueprints to the oil and water pipelines and power grid of the United States and have infiltrated the Department of Ene... Read more
If you’re already out pollinating, why not just carry a little extra? The humble bumblebee might help disrupt the multi-billion dollar synthetic pesticide industry. A new system uses b... Read more
A solar cell that produces fuel rather than electricity. Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and FOM Foundation today present a very promising prototype of this in the j... Read more
New global dam and river data leads to advanced assessment of impacts of dams from 1930-2030 When dams are built they have an impact not only on the flow of water in the river, but also on t... Read more
Want to know if a well is contaminated? Drop a pill in a vial of water and shake vigorously. If the colour changes, there’s the answer. Inspiration can come in many forms, but this one truly... Read more
An environmentally friendly candidate material to replace plastics in many high-technology applications Tufts University engineers have demonstrated that it is possible to generate nanostruc... Read more
“Our ultimate goal is to make a filter device that allows a glass of drinkable water made from seawater after a few minutes of hand pumping” Graphene has proven itself as a wonde... Read more
