Researchers produce green hydrogen from seawater
Researchers from the University of Adelaide, Australia have successfully split seawater without any pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen.
Researchers develop ‘magic’ solvent that creates stronger thin films
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a new all-dry polymerization technique that uses reactive vapors to create thin films with enhanced properties, such as mechanical strength, kinetics and morphology.
Loofah sponges inspire a new water cleaning material
Cleaning dirty water using sunlight can only produce up to a few gallons of water each day with the current methods. But researchers in ACS Central Science report that they have been inspired by loofah sponges to develop a sunlight-powered…
Berkeley researchers develop carbon-negative method for refrigeration
Drew Lilley and Ravi Prasher, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), have developed a new carbon-negative refrigeration method inspired by the salting and gritting of roads to limit ice formation in the winter months.
New study shows that cultivated and native meat offer same amino acid profile
Steakholder Foods, formerly MeaTech 3D, an international deep-tech food company focused on the cultivated meat industry, has found that its cultivated muscle cells offer the same amino acid profile as that of the native tissue.
Breakthrough in eco-friendly material for structural elements
The Living Prototypes exhibition at Aedes Architecture Forum in Berlin this past January showcased the latest European research into resource-conscious design and construction using digital 3D fabrication techniques and natural materials to produce strong but lightweight structural elements.
