Scientists grow beef cells in rice to make new protein-rich space food

In a move that will make some stomachs growl and others turn, Korean scientists have taken muscle and fat stem cells from cows and transplanted them into grains of rice. The end result is a new, high-protein food that should be cheap, environmentally f… Continue reading Scientists grow beef cells in rice to make new protein-rich space food

Efficient construction system stacks self-contained modules like Legos

Erecting an entire building from scratch at the construction site can be time-consuming and expensive, which is why many companies look to factory-built prefabricated structures. A new technology takes that idea further, with prefab blocks that are sta… Continue reading Efficient construction system stacks self-contained modules like Legos

Experimental system uses microwaves to cook crop pests in soil

Just like any other organisms, crop-destroying soil microbes die if they get too hot. With that fact in mind, scientists have developed a new system in which soil-heating microwaves are used to kill such pests. The technology could one day replace the … Continue reading Experimental system uses microwaves to cook crop pests in soil

Korean researchers aim to trap marine trash at its source

Though efforts to clean up plastic waste from our oceans are well underway, it’s also vital to stem the tide at a major source of pollution: rivers. Researchers in South Korea are looking to doing just that at a “living lab” facility in Gongju.Continue… Continue reading Korean researchers aim to trap marine trash at its source

Light-activated concrete scrubs air pollution out of traffic tunnels

Traffic is among the biggest sources of air pollution, but what if the very roads they drive on could help clear the air? Engineers in Korea have now demonstrated that photocatalytic concrete can help reduce pollution in tunnels.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Light-activated concrete scrubs air pollution out of traffic tunnels

Trunk-inspired robot gripper can pinch and grab objects small and large

The flexible “fingers” at the tip of an elephant’s trunk have provided the inspiration for a versatile robotic gripper capable of picking up and holding onto a variety of objects both large and small – from an acupuncture needle to a thin metal ruler t… Continue reading Trunk-inspired robot gripper can pinch and grab objects small and large

Researchers grow high-potency medicinal “zombie fungus” in the lab

You might know the Cordyceps mushroom as the “zombie fungus” – for good reason. Its name is derived from Greek and Latin, meaning “club head,” and many nature documentaries have focused on its chilling ability to infect certain insects, most famously a… Continue reading Researchers grow high-potency medicinal “zombie fungus” in the lab

Plana joins the eVTOL race, with unique-looking 7-seat hybrid air taxi

Korean startup Plana Aero, founded by the guy that led Hyundai/Supernal’s early eVTOL program, has begun work on a new long-range, hybrid-electric VTOL air taxi designed to carry up to seven people about 350 miles (500 km) at speeds up to 217 mph (350 … Continue reading Plana joins the eVTOL race, with unique-looking 7-seat hybrid air taxi

Self-healing coating repairs car scratches with 30 minutes of sunlight

Finding a scratch on your car is a special kind of heartbreak, but in the future they might be gone before you even notice. Scientists in Korea have developed a coating that self-heals scratches in as little as 30 minutes when exposed to sunlight.Conti… Continue reading Self-healing coating repairs car scratches with 30 minutes of sunlight
