Researchers are “storing” energy using eggshells with new conductive material
The spent shells of chicken eggs might go from unwanted biowaste to a cheap, renewable, and valuable alternative material to metals in lithium-ion batteries. A German-led study reports that powdered chicken eggshells successfully store large amounts of electrical energy. Led by researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the international team tested eggshells as a […]

Cars running on “clean” hydrogen one step closer – world’s fastest hydrogen sensor developed
The safe and effective use of flammable hydrogen gas as a source of energy depends on the capabilities of the sensor system. In response, Swedish researchers has come up with hydrogen sensors that run fast enough to hit the performance targets for hydrogen-powered vehicles of the future. Their optical nanosensor fits within a plastic-based capsule. […]

Sustainable sports equipment? It’s now possible with the Gigabot X, an open-source industrial 3D printer
An innovative approach to 3D printing may open the door to sustainable outdoor sporting goods. Fused particle fabrication (FPF) allows an additive manufacturing system to create skateboards and snowshoes from recycled plastic. The FPF method makes it possible to use waste plastic as feed material for a 3D printer. The resulting end products meet the special requirements of […]

Grow your own cup: Biodegradable cups made from gourds may end single-use coffee cups
A New York-based design company called Creme is doing its part to reduce the amount of plastic trash churned out each year. Instead of manufacturing disposable coffee cups with plastic liners, the start-up grows biodegradable, organic containers from fruits. For their project, Creme picked gourds from the Cucurbitaceae family. Related to squash and pumpkins, these […]
