Modified fish and flies could pull pollution out of the environment
Posted by ArielTechGeek 75 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Methylmercury is an extremely toxic compound, and unfortunately it's often present in the fish that we eat. Scientists are now developing a method of removing it from the environment, utilizing engineered fish and flies that take up the compound and neutralize it.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Macquarie University, Fish, Insect, Mercury, Pollution, bioremediation, CSIRO
Self-contained solar-powered boxes pull drinking water from the air
Posted by ArielTechGeek 245 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
As one of the four basic things humans need to live, clean drinking water is obviously of the utmost importance. While rainfall and rivers and lakes are the traditional go-to sources, climate change is making once reliable water sources much more undependable. Aquaria Technologies, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2022, is looking to provide affordable, clean drinking water for the masses
Reusable 'waffle stacks' pull toxic 'forever chemicals' from water
Posted by ArielTechGeek 267 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists in the UK have developed a new method for removing toxic “forever chemicals” from wastewater. Specially treated, 3D-printed ceramic lattices can remove up to 75% of the chemicals from polluted water in three hours – and the structures get better at their job as they’re reused.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Chemicals, Pollution, Water, Health, toxic, University of B

Stellantis – the conglomerate parent company of Fiat, Chrysler, and the French PSA Group, which sells brands like Alfa, Dodge, Jeep, Peugeot and more – has filed a new patent design that appears to be an all-in-one solution to something seemingly not needing a solution for 99.999% of drivers on the road today.Continue ReadingCategory: Automotive, TransportTags: stellantis, Yoke Shopper, Patent
Gravitational pull of half a sand grain measured in physics breakthrough
Posted by ArielTechGeek 427 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum realm and a potential Theory of Everything.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Gravity, Quantum Gravity, Quantum, Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics, University of Southampton
