Estuaries Could Power Us To A Low Carbon Future

“If you make a really concentrated salt solution, or if you mix things like water and ethanol, you can actually feel them heat up a little bit,” says Anthony Straub, a professor of environmental engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder. “So there’s enough energy, you can tell, for heating to happen.” Osmotic power takes advantage of osmosis, the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane. What we call salt is actually a chemical combination of the elements sodium and chlorine....

Evaporative Coolers To Help You Chill Out Without Air Conditioning

When shopping for an evaporative cooler, you’ll want to consider a number of factors. Water tank capacity determines how long the unit will cool; without water, these are just fans. Next, think about cooling area, which is measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute). The higher the CFM, the larger the area it can cool. You’ll also want to consider the unit’s size, and whether it’ll fit in your space....

Fans Build Full Size Millennium Falcon Replica

Today, visitors to the museum for Star Wars: The Force Awakens can see the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit on display, but the smuggling ship’s origins go back a long long way. Or at least to the time Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was released. Started online by a man from Nashville, the project attracted 300 volunteers who assembled bits and pieces of the craft over the years. Then in 2012 a trio from Huntsville took the lead on building the cockpit....

Female Vampire Bats Regurgitate Bloody Dinners For Their Starving Girlfriends

A study published on Halloween in Cell Biology found that vampire bats develop and maintain social bonds resembling friendships. Biologists knew these creatures were uniquely hospitable with one another due to their rare grooming and food-sharing habits. But until now, scientists had been unable to prove they formed long-standing relationships. Researchers Gerald Carter, an associate professor at Ohio State University, and Simon Ripperger, a postdoctoral fellow with the Smithsonian Institute, hypothesized that bonds between bats developed during captivity would continue after they were released back into the environment....

Fyi What Material Is Water Most Afraid Of

Enter MIT. Researchers there developed Lubricant Impregnated Surfaces (LIS), a material that is so hydrophobic, droplets of water slide right off of it. “We can show that water can slide off like ketchup,” lead researcher Kripa Varanasi says. If you’ve ever eaten a hot dog, you know that this must be one slippery material. Even calling it a material is, well, slippery. LIS is more accurately defined as an interaction between two materials: a lubricant, such as oil, and a hydrophobic surface....
