Recycled glass membranes to filter water in an affordable way

GLASSwater is a project that filters and purifies water using recycled glass which has been used to manufacture a porous ceramic membrane. Currently, the ceramic membranes used in the filtration of raw water need about $100 – $200 for production. Those ma

Energy efficient Norwegian data center uses fjords for cooling

One of the biggest challenges in creating a data center is not the space, but the consumption of power. The power consumption is much more as the servers are not the only ones to consume power, but the lion`s share of power consumption is taken up by the

New biological solution helps purify water with bacteria

There’s absolute no vagueness about the fact that every single soul needs clean water to survive and probably that’s where the exigency of developing efficient solutions for water arises. To provide the world with clean water, the Yissum Research Deve

What’s Next: Engineering microorganisms for a greener world

As we know itResearchers have shown that a few micro organisms could be genetically engineered to allow the mass production of bio-fuels and also to remove the constraints which have hampered their popularity as compared to conventional fuels. At present,

Polluted Planet: Nuclear waste

The Waste Every existent resource on this planet leaves some or the other left over after it burns away, no matter how potent and effective the resource is. The same applies to nuclear power. An immense source of energy derived from the fission reaction

Self-healing circuits guarantee zero circuit failure

There are times when our electronics go berserk and fail due to a circuit failure which is impossible to fix. If one minute circuit fails in a chip, then the entire chip fails and the electrical gadget becomes useless and has to be disposed. The circ

Sony develops eco friendly battery powered by waste paper

If you think the walkman was Sony’s greatest innovation, think again. The Japanese multinational electronic giant has upped its game once again and this time it has brought us a great planet-saving idea. Sony has developed a new kind of battery that can

Researchers plan to produce hydrogen fuel using plant technology

Energy crisis has already entered its golden era. Now, in the huddled up run to nullify it, we are stumbling upon sources that were earlier not even known to exist, at least under the cover of human understanding. Photosynthesis has been one of these long

Everything I need to know about biofiltration

Biofiltration is the process of removal and degradation of contaminants from the air and water with the help of living materials known as biofilters. In a moist, oxygen rich environment the microorganisms present in the biofilters decompose the organic co
