Plants help reduce toxic mercury from environment, says study

Posted by in category: futurism

😀


Plants absorb a vast amount of toxic mercury gas in the atmosphere and help reducing the pollutant worldwide by depositing the element into soils, said researchers.

The process is similar to the absorption of carbon dioxide emissions by plants, said the team from University of Massachusetts Lowell, in the US.

BRIEF: A Real-life Moisture Vaporator

Posted by in categories: space, sustainability

Circa 2017


(Inside Science) — On the fictional Star Wars planet Tatooine, moisture farmers erect tall white structures called vaporators to pull valuable water from the desert air. Now researchers on planet Earth have built a device to perform the same basic task. They estimate a suitcase-sized version could harvest enough drinking water per day for a family of four. The device is described in a paper published in the journal Science.

The team, made up of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, expects the device to be most useful in arid regions and in areas where the traditional water supply is polluted. The system relies on the unique properties of a relatively new type of material called a metal organic framework, or MOF.

How Remote Workers Are Secretly Juggling Two Full-Time Jobs

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, employment, neuroscience

Work remotely, work more jobs.


With the pandemic’s turbocharged acceleration of remote work options, many employees have sought to capitalize on the lack of personal supervision by secretly working two (or more) full-time jobs at once. But while there’s more money to be made, the strategy brings with it significant tradeoffs, namely mental health.

Fraunhofer ISE Invents Process For Solar Panels

Posted by in categories: education, sustainability, transportation

Fraunhofer ISE has developed a process for recycling the silicon in old solar panels.


The big knock on new technology like electric cars and solar panels is that they are not recyclable. People haven’t cared a flying fig leaf about recycling stuff for the past 100 years. If they did, citizens would be at the gates of the corporate headquarters of NestlĂ©, Coca Cola, and Pepsi with flaming torches and pitchforks demanding they stop inundating the Earth with their endless profusion of waste products.

But suddenly, people are all atwitter about what will happen to the batteries of electric cars. Fearmongers on the internet are telling people they will have to drive their old electric cars into lakes and rivers when they stop working. The amazing thing is, people believe that codswallop and repeat it to their friends as if it were carved on the stone tablets Moses brought down with him when he descended the mountain. So much for public education making people smarter.

Autonomous Airbus aces autopilot taxi, takeoff and landing tests

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, transportation

Circa 2020


Autopilot has been around longer than you think. Indeed, in 1914, just 11 years after the Wright Brothers first ushered humanity into the aviation age, a fellow named Lawrence Sperry built a gyroscopic self-stabilization system into a Curtiss C-2. It was capable, he claimed, of keeping an aircraft straight and level and pointed in a consistent direction on the compass, and he put on a spectacular public demonstration at the Seine just outside Paris to prove it.

Scientists say there may be a “major planet” that could potentially support life for at least 1 billion years into the future

Posted by in categories: futurism, space

If confirmed, this “unexpected” discovery in the Milky Way would be the first time a life-supporting planet has been found orbiting a dying sun.
