New flexible lithium ion battery flexes like a spine; may revolutionize wearable electronics
With the emergence of flexible — as in bendable — consumer electronic devices like smartphones and smartwatches, the demand has increased for similarly flexible high-performance batteries. This was the main motivation behind a study conducted by researchers from Columbia University, who now claim that they have successfully created a remarkably flexible, high energy density battery […]

Qantas biofuel-powered airliner required 150 acres of farm land to grow the fuel for a single flight
The world’s first biofuel flight between the U.S. and Australia was achieved with great success by the teams behind it — Qantas and Agricoma Biosciences rejoiced publicly as they both announced the completion of their historic flight. However, while the benefits of switching from conventional fossil fuels to biofuels for cross-country flights might be clear […]

Preventing Alzheimer’s: Scientists develop blood test capable of detecting toxic protein build up related to Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a condition that typically occurs later in life. It has no known cure, so treating it is highly problematic. To make matters worse, detecting it is often difficult until it gets to the point of no return of sorts, where patients — as well as anyone related or affiliated with them […]

Fixing broken bones for good: 3D-printed ceramic implant holds bones together before transforming into actual, natural bone
You may know of 3D printing as a revolutionary new solution for prototyping and small-scale production in industries such as manufacturing, but it can also be beneficial in other areas. Researchers in Australia have shown just that, as they have completed a new study that uses 3D-printed ceramic implants to heal bone injuries to the […]

Removing heavy metals from water: Activated charcoal from palm kernel cake is a low cost biosorbent
Contaminated water contains all sorts of harmful toxins that can result in dangerous diseases in humans. This has led scientists to devise various ways to decontaminate water —-so much so that decontamination has become an industry of its own. One of the primary objectives of decontamination is to remove heavy metals in water, which can cause […]

Is it possible to recycle lithium ion batteries?
The idea of recycling batteries has been around for quite a long time now, perhaps just as long as batteries themselves have been around. After all, if scientists and other experts are already able to recycle so many other things, why not do the same with batteries as well? One of the biggest benefits of […]

Scientists find improved approach for creating fuel from biowaste, making it a good substitute for fossil fuels
It seems like every day, researchers find yet another fossil fuel alternative. Not that anyone should be complaining. This time, a team of researchers from the University of Calgary have developed a method to produce a much higher quality and more stable fuel from biowaste, such as raw sewage, which is simpler and a lot […]

Powering clean air: The world’s first power plant with negative emissions now in operation
It’s practically a given at this point that whenever a power plant is in operation, it is inevitably going to have at least some emissions. After all, the waste material from what’s being produced inside has to be expelled somewhere. But did you know that it’s possible for a power plant to have less than […]

Manufacturing your own drugs in your own home could soon be possible thanks to 3D printing
3D printing has come quite a long way since experts first started experimenting with it back in the 1980s. These days, it plays a huge role in the intersection of design, manufacturing, and prototyping for consumer products that would otherwise be stuck in industrial limbo, thanks to all of the necessary prerequisites. Even in business […]

Scientists find way to create working muscles from handful of skin cells in lab setting
Will humans ever be able to regrow limbs and other parts of their body like some animals? The work of one group of researchers now shows that while it’s currently outside the realm of possibility, there’s a very slim chance that it could happen at some point in the future. After years of trying, a […]
