Encasing algal protein in liquid droplets was found to dramatically enhance the algae’s light-harvesting and energy-conversion properties by up to three times. This research may lead towards a new, sustainable way of generating electricity from sunlight.
The multitude of common algae covering the surface of seas and ponds may have the solution to increasing the efficiency of artificial photosynthesis, enabling researchers to create more energy and cut wastage in the process.
The variety of humble algae that cover the surface of ponds and seas could hold the key to boosting the efficiency of artificial photosynthesis
The organo-hydrogel bandages keep wounded areas moist and cool leading to accelerated healing.
Electrical signals are transmitted to the plant using a smartphone, causing the Venus flytrap to close its leaves on demand. — NTU SINGAPORE SINGAPORE: Imagine a day when crops are able to tell you they are thirsty or when you can instruct a plant to delicately pick up an item. Far-fetched? Scientists in Singapore have actually created a way for humans and plants to communicate with each other – via a smartphone, no less. The team at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) did this by developing a small conductive material that allows electrical signals to enter and leave the plant. Like b...
