As China rapidly adopts clean energy, use of traditional stoves persists Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Old habits are hard to break. A new study of replacement of traditional wood and coal burning stoves with clean energy in China suggests that, without a better understanding of the reasons behind people's reluctance to give up traditional stoves, it will be difficult for policies in China and elsewhere in the world to succeed in encouraging this shift towards clean energy. |
Artificial cells act more like the real thing Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Protocells -- artificial cells -- that are active and mimic living cells by moving independently and that are biocompatible and enzymatically active are now possible using an improved method. |
'Buildings' in human bone may hold key to stronger 3D-printed lightweight structures Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST The discovery of how a 'beam' in human bone material handles a lifetime's worth of wear and tear could translate to the development of 3D-printed lightweight materials that last long enough for more practical use in buildings, aircraft and other structures. |
Open source EEG visualization tool Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Researchers have developed a free open source computer program that can be used to create visual and quantitative representations of brain electrical activity in laboratory animals in hopes of developing countermeasures for opioid use disorder. |
Developing a digital twin of a vehicle Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:51 AM PST In the not too distant future, we can expect to see our skies filled with unmanned aerial vehicles delivering packages, maybe even people, from location to location. Researchers are developing 'digital twins' that combine computational models and machine learning to predict vehicle health and enable autonomous decision-making at the edge. |
Can Arctic 'ice management' combat climate change? Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:06 AM PST According to a much-debated geo-engineering approach, both sea-ice retreat and global warming could be slowed by using millions of wind-powered pumps, drifting in the sea ice, to promote ice formation during the Arctic winter. |
A robot and software make it easier to create advanced materials Posted: 05 Dec 2019 04:30 AM PST A team of engineers has developed an automated way to produce polymers, making it much easier to create advanced materials aimed at improving human health. The innovation is a critical step in pushing the limits for researchers who want to explore large libraries of polymers, including plastics and fibers, for chemical and biological applications such as drugs and regenerative medicine through tissue engineering. |
Scientists push bioprinting capability forward Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:48 AM PST Scientists are reporting using bioprinting to print a tracheal tissue construct comprising of multiple different functional materials. They printed different designs of smooth muscle and cartilage regions in artificial tracheal substitutes showing similar mechanical properties to human tracheal tissue. |
Scientists devise catalyst that uses light to turn carbon dioxide to fuel Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:05 AM PST Scientists have used sunlight and a catalyst largely made of copper to transform carbon dioxide to methanol. |
