The context of cooperation with UC Water and the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at UC Merced, scientists from UC Santa Cruz have released an investigation that suggests that encompassing California's 6,350 km network of public water shipment canals with photovoltaic panels could be a financially viable way to advance both renewable energy sources and...
An odoriferous, toxic gas can now be converted into clean-burning petroleum using a brand-new chemical process that has been found by specialists.The procedure converts hydrogen sulfide—more commonly known as "drain gas"—into hydrogen fuel and was recently described in the American Chemical Society publication ACS Sustainable Chemical Engineering. Hydrogen sulfide is a byproduct of industrial...
As is known the researchers at Flinders College are investigating organic nitrogen plant fertilizer to bring nitrogen to the soil again without the demand for any chemicals.The global agricultural market is encountering obstacles at present with the deteriorating health of the soil. To combat this, Australian investigators are studying the manufacture of a sustainable...
The most up-to-date winners to be awarded a total of ₤ 14.5 m funding via the Farming Innovation Development Pathways competition, an initiative of the UK government, have been revealed. The competitors are a collaboration between UKRI's Changing Food Production (TFP) difficulty and the Department for Setting, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) Farming Technology Programme (FIP).The winning projects:AutobotIn this...
Robotically engineered machines, jet packs, and flying automobiles appeared to be guarantees for the 21st century. Since then, we have instead been given mechanized, autonomous vacuum cleaners. A team of scientists at Penn State is now investigating the requirements for electric vertical vehicle takeoff and landing (eVTOL), and developing and evaluating potentially battery energy...
