Extracting cobalt and lithium from waste batteries
Although rechargeable batteries in smartphones, cars and tablets can be charged again and again, they don't last forever. Old batteries often wind up in landfills or incinerators, potentially harming the environment. And valuable materials remain locked inside. Now, a team of researchers is turning to naturally occurring fungi to drive an environmentally friendly recycling process to extract cobalt and lithium from tons of waste batteries.
Edible food packaging film made of milk proteins
At the grocery store, most foods - meats, breads, cheeses, snacks - come wrapped in plastic packaging. Not only does this create a lot of non-recyclable, non-biodegradable waste, but thin plastic films are not great at preventing spoilage. And some plastics are suspected of leaching potentially harmful compounds into food. To address these issues, scientists are now developing a packaging film made of milk proteins - and it is even edible.
Engineering student designs revolutionary energy storage solution
The energy storage market in the US alone is estimated to be worth $200-600bn in 10 years. While most research and development efforts have been focused on improving battery technologies, a Lancaster student believes a mechanical solution could provide the answer.
Growing research towards smarter crop plants
Plant scientists have made an important advance in understanding the natural diversity of a key plant enzyme which could help us address the looming threat of global food security.Rubisco is the central enzyme responsible for photosynthesis in plants, it enables them to absorb carbon from the atmosphere, which they depend upon to live and grow.
A first for aviation, a first for energy
More than a year after its initial take-off, the Solar Impulse 2 aircraft has landed in Abu Dhabi this morning – completing its round-the-world, 25,000 mile journey. The solar powered aircraft first took-off from the UAE in March 2015 and has since landed in 16 different locations including India, China, the US and Spain.
