While greenhouses produce wastewater that may contain pollutants, microalgae-growing operations require a source of water – which is scarce in many regions. A new project aims to address both problems, by growing water-purifying algae in readily availa… Continue reading Win-win REALM tech grows microalgae which purifies greenhouse runoff
The multi-tools continue to come thick and fast on Kickstarter, which means that if one is going to stand out, it has to be different in some way. Made by Hong Kong-based AntDesign, the E-one distinguishes itself with a bit-carrying “autodoor.”Continue… Continue reading E-one multi-tool keeps a bit in a pop-open compartment
Ordinarily, when interior walls become wet due to leaky roofs, burst pipes or flooding, fans or radiant heaters are used to dry them. The new FastDry module, however, is claimed to offer a significantly more energy-efficient alternative.Continue Readin… Continue reading FastDry module takes an energy-efficient approach to drying wet walls
The production of cement is a major source of carbon emissions, so the less of it that’s used, the better. A new study could help, as it shows that cement can be made much stronger with the addition of material derived from waste shrimp shells.Continue… Continue reading Material obtained from shrimp shells makes for stronger cement
If you transport your bike on a car-top rack, there’s a risk that you’ll forget it’s up there, and smash it into a low-hanging garage door or other overhead obstacle. The Veloroof system is designed to greatly reduce that risk.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Veloroof uses ultrasound to save car-top-carried bikes
With the increasing development of eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) “air taxis,” it shouldn’t come as a surprise that automakers are moving into the field. This week, Volkswagen Group China unveiled its own effort, in the form of the V.MO… Continue reading VW throws its hat into the eVTOL ring, with the “Flying Tiger” V.MO
It has long been known that insects such as bees help plants reproduce, by spreading pollen from one plant to another. Now, however, a similar arrangement has been discovered in the undersea world – involving red algae and tiny crustaceans.Continue Rea… Continue reading Crustaceans found to fertilize seaweed like bees pollinate plants

Although it’s always best to reuse and recycle, many small, simple, low-power electronic devices tend to be single-use. A new paper battery could make them more eco-friendly, as it’s activated by water, and it biodegrades once discarded.Continue Readin… Continue reading Water-activated paper battery may lead to greener disposable tech
