Shocking: Inbreeding can be beneficial in the long run, for Reindeers at least
From Norwegian University of Science and Technology 28/09/23 “Of all the subspecies of reindeer found in the high north, the Svalbard reindeer has the most inbreeding and the lowest genetic diversity,” says Nicolas Dussex, a postdoc at Norwegian University of Science and Technology´s (NTNU) Department of Natural History. It was only 7000-8000 years ago that […]
Flashy: Rapid heating battery recycling method is 100 times faster, low-cost and high-yield
From Rice University 29/09/23 Demand for valuable metals needed in batteries is poised to grow over the coming decades in step with the growth of clean energy technologies, and the best place to source them may be by recycling spent batteries. A battery recycling process developed by Rice University scientists can remove the inert layer […]
New low-energy method for purifying drinking water could be used in disaster zones
From University of Bath 02/10/23 Scientists have developed a new method that converts seawater into drinking water that could be useful in disaster zones where there is limited electrical power. The most popular method for removing salt (sodium chloride) from sea water is reverse osmosis, which uses a porous membrane that allows water molecules through […]

Transformable origami car wheel
By Superinnovators, 09/1/2023 A transformable wheel made from composite membrane origami has been developed by a joint research team from Seoul National University, Harvard and Hankook Tire. The tire is capable of bearing more than 1,000kg of load. The technique involves using flexible membranes and rigid facets to construct transformable mechanisms, simplifying design, fabrication and […]
A new way to generate sustainable energy where the rivers meet the ocean
From University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering 26/09/23 There is a largely untapped energy source along the world’s coastlines: the difference in salinity between seawater and freshwater. A new nanodevice can harness this difference to generate power. A team of researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has reported a design for a nanofluidic […]
Eco-friendly wood-based coating stops your glasses from fogging up
From Aalto University 29/09/23 Researchers have developed a way to turn a waste material from wood into a bio-based transparent film that can be used for anti-fogging or anti-reflective coatings on glasses or vehicle windows. In addition to offering an alternative to the toxic synthetic materials currently used, this approach transforms a waste product into […]
