EPFL: Ultra-Deep Fracking Can Enable Limitless Geothermal Energy

Material & Energy /

The potential for nearly limitless clean geothermal energy has significantly improved. Researchers at EPFL’s Laboratory of Experimental Rock Mechanics (LEMR) have demonstrated that the semi-plastic, viscous rock found at supercritical depths can still be fractured to allow water to flow through. Together with nuclear power—through fission or fusion—and a few other advanced energy sources, geothermal

Smart Stitches Create Electricity From Movement to Enhance Healing

Healthcare, Medicine, Medicine, Science /

Transforming Vulnerability into Advantage While surgical stitches are effective for wound healing, they can sometimes come undone with excessive movement. However, researchers in China have transformed this vulnerability into an advantage by creating stitches that generate an electric charge when stretched, promoting faster healing. Standard sutures commonly treat large and deep skin wounds by aligning
