MIT engineers developed a new way of generating energy that uses carbon nanotubes that steal electrons from surrounding polymers.

MIT engineers have discovered a new way of generating electricity using tiny carbon particles that can create a current simply by interacting with liquid surrounding them.The liquid, an organic solvent, draws electrons out of the particles, generatin

ExtremeTech MIT Develops New Method of Generating Power With Carbon Nanotubes By Ryan Whitwam on June 9, 2021 at 10:01 am This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. (Image by enot-poloskun/Getty Images)Engineers at MIT have discovered a new way to generate electricity, and you can thank our old friend, carbon nanotubes. These microscopic tubes of carbon atoms were the hottest thing in material science for a few years, and they could be making a comeback. By grinding up nanotubes and dipping them in special solvents, the team showed it...

(Courtesy, Shilo Rosenwasser) Scientists at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University have managed to genetically engineer a potato to glow in a particular color when it is feeling under the weather. Like humans, plants suffer stress if it is too hot or cold, or if they don’t get enough food or water. New research published in Plant Physiology by Matanel Hipsch under the direction of Dr. Shilo Rosenwasser of the university’s Department of Plant Sciences describes the implanting of a gene with a fluorescent protein that changes c...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology According to United Nations estimates, the global population is expected to grow by 2 billion within the next 30 years, giving rise to an expected increase in demand for food and agricultural products. Today, biotic and abiotic environmental stresses such as plant pathogens, sudden fluctuations in temperature, drought, soil salinity, and toxic metal pollution – made worse by climate change – impair crop productivity and lead to significant losses in agriculture yield worldwide. New work from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMAR...
