Computing consumes a huge amount of energy in today’s world. By 2050, up to 20% of electricity used by the US commercial sector could go toward data processing and computation. Meanwhile, data centers are expected to double their electricity demand in the coming years, highlighting the urgent need for more energy-efficient computing systems. Our bodies […]

Reading time: 4 minutes Our bodies are constantly repairing and renewing themselves. Every day, cells become damaged, age, or die and need to be removed. It may sound like a simple housekeeping job, but researchers are discovering that this process is surprisingly complex. A new study has revealed how cells in protective tissues can remove […]

Scientists have developed a new electrically powered membrane that could make wastewater treatment faster and more efficient. In laboratory tests, the technology removed nearly 100% of ammonia nitrogen from wastewater in just about 1.2 minutes, while also helping break down other forms of pollution. The research, reported in Engineering, focuses on a special electro-reactive membrane […]
