Making Water from Air?” Global Water Shortage, A Solution in Sight Portable System That Harvests Water from Air Developed First Development in Korea
The research team led by Director Dr. Hyuneui Lim of the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) is planning to commercialize a three-kilogram water harvester, to which its independently developed “portable moisture-harvesting system” has been applied.
Sustainable and reversible 3D printing method uses minimal ingredients and steps
A new 3D printing method developed by UC San Diego engineers is so simple that it uses a polymer ink and salt water solution to create solid structures. The work has the potential to make materials manufacturing more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
New eco-friendly lubricant additives protect turbine equipment, waterways
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed lubricant additives that protect both water turbine equipment and the surrounding environment.
Eco-friendly nanobiolubricants set to transform industrial grinding practices
A review recently published underscores substantial advancements in employing nanobiolubricants within grinding operations, presenting a sustainable and efficient methodology that perfectly combines environmental awareness with enhanced industrial performance. This approach promises to set new standards in manufacturing processes by optimizing resource efficiency and minimizing ecological impact.
Laser-Treated Cork Absorbs Oil for Carbon-Neutral Ocean Cleanup
In Applied Physics Letters, researchers use laser treatments to transform ordinary cork into a powerful tool for treating oil spills. They tested variations of a fast-pulsing laser treatment, closely examining the nanoscopic structural changes and measuring the ratio of oxygen and carbon in the material, changes in the angles with which water and oil contact the surface, and the material’s light wave absorption, reflection, and emission across the spectrum to determine its durability after multiple cycles of warming and cooling.
An eco-friendly solar-driven protocol solves water-oil separation
Researchers have developed a novel oil separation technique using solar thermal energy that is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and highly efficient.
UNC’s Entrepreneurial Challenge Helps Student Back Eco-Friendly Fashion in Thrifty Way
Kennedy Dechant, a sophomore Environmental and Sustainability Studies major at the University of Northern Colorado, never imagined that she would one day be running her own business. Now the owner of the online thrift store, Eclecticism, her business began as a website she created for her web design class in high school.
