Fog harvesting could help alleviate water shortages
As traditional sources of water dry out or grow contaminated with pollution, we’ll need to find new ways to get the water we need. One method is fog harvesting, where you collect moisture from ground-level clouds. A Virginia-based research team has come up with a “fog harp” that collects thrice as much water as earlier fog nets, […]

Holographic storage of 3D images in a nanofilm can archive more than 1,000 times more data than optical media
As we produce and amass more data, we need bigger storage spaces and better ways of organizing them. Accordingly, Chinese researchers have developed new nano-particle films that can store the hologram equivalent of more than 1,000 DVDs in a piece of film that measures 10-by-10 centimeters, according to an article in ScienceDaily. According to study […]

Hydrogen-bromide flow batteries could soon power the renewable energy industry (but release a dangerous, toxic gas)
An energy storage concept from the Radical ’60s could solve the biggest problem of the wind energy sector. In an article published in ScienceDaily, Kansas researchers have developed a viable hydrogen-bromine flow battery that could store excess electricity during the night. Anyone who has been in the Midwest is bound to run across a wind farm sooner […]

Scientists have developed new semiconductors that are more environmentally friendly
Concerned with the prevalence of useful but toxic perovskites in photovoltaic cells, a group of Iowa-based researchers devised alternative materials. They reported creating cheaper and eco-friendly semiconductors with similar performance, according to a ScienceDaily article. Perovskites are light-gathering materials used as semiconductors in solar panels. While highly efficient – called “wonder materials” by the solar […]

Praise for the proton: Latest battery breakthrough may free us from lithium ion
We may finally be on the verge of a true alternative to costly lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare earth metals. Australian researchers recently debuted the first working example of a carbon-based rechargeable proton battery, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to the RMIT University (RMIT) research team, their proton battery works in tandem […]

Old iPhones seeing new life as medical devices used to assist brain surgeries in Brazil
Brain surgeons in Brazil cannot put down their iPhones in the operating room. But that’s because the old smartphones are a vital and effective medical tool during surgeries, according to a LiveScience article. The doctors have ditched the costly and cumbersome monitors and video cameras seen in most hospitals. Instead, they attach outdated iPhone models onto their […]

Harnessing static electricity? Invention makes self-powered devices possible, without batteries
Do you remember your encounters with static electricity, e.g. every single time you walked across the carpet and grabbed the doorknob? Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are unraveling the process with the hopes of turning it into an energy source, reported a Newswise article. According to Zhong Lin Wang, a Regent’s Professor at the university, […]

New graphene gas sensor inspired by dog noses
Man’s best friend enjoys one of the best noses on the planet. That’s why a Chinese-led study based its newly-developed electronic nose on a dog’s nose by using biomimetic graphene materials, reported a Nanowerk article. A dog’s excellent sense of smell comes from the hundreds of millions of capillaries that line the inside of its nose. The large […]
