Plastic sand bricks and blocks are a fantastic example of the type of innovation needed to develop a circular economy.

By Bria King If you are a person interested in pursuing a career in STEM, it’s important to not “feel boxed into pursuing a medical or engineering degree”. Just ask Vincentian scholar, Abigail Scott, who recently graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a perfect 5.0 GPA (grade point average). “STEM is so much more diverse than we make it out to be here,” Scott told SEARCHLIGHT in …

Air conditioners consume a lot of energy, which has a negative impact on the environment as well as our electricity bill. Because of the growing demand for energy, increased fossil fuels are being burned, resulting in more CO2 emissions that are hazardous to the environment.

Have you ever felt bloated? Scientists found that lack of sleep sends fat to the belly. Sleep deprivation, also known as the insufficient quantity or quality of sleep, has been recognized to be the cause of a variety of poor health conditions, including mental and physical fatigue, weakened immune system, and deteriorated cognitive functions.

Valorizing waste materials is a key strategy for achieving a circular economy. Writing in Sustainability, a team of researchers from Saudi Arabia and Australia has investigated the use of marble waste in road construction.

The phenomenon of acid mine drainage represents a major source of environmental pollution, prompting the need for innovative solutions to minimize and address this.

The article describes the mechanical behaviour of PVB interlayer and the constitutive models by which the polymer can be represented under different load cases.

The smallest antenna in the world was made from DNA 20,000 times smaller than human hair. Learn more about its use cases.

The high share of buildings in energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission has led researchers to seek techniques to reduce energy consumption in this sector. In this study, considering a hot and arid climate region, the wall's heat gain was investigated. To reduce energy demand, three techniques of adding PCM, combining absorption chiller with a solar system and dispersing nanoparticles were used and the results were evaluated transiently. In July, the addition of PCM to the building&#39...

 E-Mail The human heart contracts about 70 times per minute, while that of a rat contracts over 300 times; what accounts for this difference? In a new study publishing 10th June in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, led by Michael Geeves and Mark Wass of the University of Kent and Leslie Leinwand from the University of Colorado Boulder, reveal the molecular differences in the heart muscle protein beta myosin that underly the large difference in contraction velocity between the two species....
