Aerogel from fruit biowaste produces ultracapacitors with high energy density and stability
• High performance supercapacitors synthesized from durian and jackfruit biowaste. • Outstanding performance due to large surface area, mesoporous structure and intrinsic nitrogen. • Pyridinic and graphitic n and facile ionic diffusion enable high performance supercapacitance. • Excellent stability, long-term cycling, energy density with pseudo-capacitance.

Capillary-driven desalination in a synthetic mangrove
We demonstrate a synthetic mangrove that mimics the main features of the natural mangrove: capillary pumping (leaves), stable water conduction in highly metastable states (stem), and membrane desalination (root). Our findings create possibilities for engineered membrane separations using large, passively generated capillary pressures.

AI powered Solar Panels Inspection
The Solar industry is booming and emerging as the fastest growing source of renewable energy. Like most other industries, efficiency plays a crucial role for the sustenance of a company in this field. A time taking and labour intensive process which consumes a significant chunk of operating costs are the Solar Plant inspections. Regular inspections ensure that potential defects that could reduce power yield are caught early and repaired.
AI powered Wind Turbine Inspection
Given the safety hazards and time taken to carry out wind turbine inspections, it is not surprising that the use of drones for this purpose is on the rise. Not only do they help carry out regular inspections but also help identify and gather data to support warranty claims. The conventional manual inspections using ropes and platforms can at best inspect 2-3 wind turbines a day while a semi-automatic drone could inspect 12-15 turbines in the same time.

Marian Chertow Talks About Industrial Ecology and Symbiosis in the Developing World
Marian Chertow, Professor of Industrial Environmental Management, talks about industrial ecology and symbiosis in the developing world. Professor Chertow’s research and teaching focus on industrial ecology, circular economy, waste management, and urban sustainability. Her work has championed the study of industrial symbiosis involving geographically based exchanges of materials, energy, water, and wastes within networks of businesses globally. She also has carried out many studies of industrial ecology in China, India, and other emerging market countries as a way to value environmental benefits alongside economic ones.

Down on the Farm That Harvests Metal From Plants (NYTimes)
Nickel-rich sap being taken from a tree in Malaysia "Hyper-accumulating plants thrive in metallic soil that kills other vegetation, and botanists are testing the potential of phytomining. Some of Earth’s plants have fallen in love with metal. With roots that act practically like magnets, these organisms flourish in metal-rich soils that make hundreds of thousands of other plant species flee or die. Slicing open one of these trees or running the leaves of its bush cousin through a peanut press produces a sap that oozes a neon blue-green. "

Uber and Lyft generate 70 percent more pollution than trips they displace: study
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, ride-hailing trips today result in an estimated 69% more climate pollution on average than the trips they displace. In cities, ride-hailing trips typically displace low-carbon trips, such as public transportation, biking, or walking. Uber and Lyft could reduce these emissions with a more concerted effort to electrify its fleet of vehicles or by incentivizing customers to take pooled rides, the group recommends.
Uber Adding To Air Pollution In Europe - Report
The report suggests the surge in taxi apps like Uber is actually contributing to air pollution and climate change. Data compiled by Euromonitor shows a correlation between the surge in the number of ride-share drivers in major European cities and increasing levels of air pollution.
