In Flight and Fight – The Turbulence Carbon Dioxide Causes
We have recently learned that the high levels of carbon dioxide we breathe for extended periods inside planes can cause neurological problems.
Artificial Intelligence Models New Functional Materials
Artificial intelligence is used to analyze the parameters for creating self-cleaning, superhydrophobic surfaces, and to generate a model for optimizing the experimental conditions.
Solar Energy Storage: Solutions are not the Answer
Nordic researchers develop liquids for the storage of solar energy as chemical energy.
World First US–Australia Biofuel Flight
Qantas used biofuel processed from a non-food, industrial type of mustard seed for a historic trans-Pacific 15 hour flight saving 18 000kg in carbon emissions.
Thermal Insulation: As Stealthy as a Polar Bear
Replicating the hollow structure of polar bear hairs allows an insulating material to provide thermal management with stealth applications.
Carbon Dioxide Desalination
Imagine a scenario where CO2 greenhouse gas emissions could be used to desalinate briny water. This would be a creative way of killing two birds with one stone, namely helping to ameliorate global-warming-induced climate change and producing high quality water for agriculture and drinking purposes.
