While lab-grown meat shows promise for sparing animals from slaughter, wood still comes entirely from trees that are cut down. That may not always be the case, though, as scientists are now working on growing it in a lab, too.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Scientists take a step closer to growing wood in a lab

The hooks in so-called “hook-and-loop” fastening materials (such as Velcro) are usually quite stiff, meaning they may damage other materials as they’re pulled apart from them. Such is not the case, however, with a new mushroom-inspired alternative.Cont… Continue reading Mushroom-inspired fastener is kinder and gentler than Velcro

Well, the unrelated Luislight L300 could be considered the Otto’s headlight equivalent.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, TransportTags: bi… Continue reading Carbon fiber bike light powers up with a magnetic mount
One of the problems with microplastics pollution is the fact that the plastic particles are very small, and thus difficult to trap or neutralize when widely dispersed in water. That’s why a new technique is being developed to eliminate them at their so… Continue reading New technique converts microplastics into CO2 and H2O
It’s an unfortunate fact that many “cold chain” items such as food or medicine are shipped in single-use Styrofoam packaging, which is non-biodegradable and difficult to recycle. Such is not the case with a new material, however, which is made from dis… Continue reading Recyclable alternative to Styrofoam made from paper waste
