Made to Degrade (Eventually)

A group of researchers has combined the ubiquitous biomasses starch, the main component of the carbohydrates found in corn, tubers, and roots such as potatoes, and cellulose, the main component of plants and commonly known as cotton fiber, to develop a marine biodegradable plastic.

Building High-Efficiency Underwater Solar Cells

For the most part, solar cells have been limited to powering land- and space-based devices. While marine applications for solar cells do exist—for example, to power submerged autonomous vehicles and sensors—traditional photovoltaic materials like silicon cannot be used efficiently in deeper waters.

New Sensor Could Help Prevent Food Waste

As flowers bloom and fruits ripen, they emit a colorless, sweet-smelling gas called ethylene. Chemists have now created a tiny sensor that can detect this gas in concentrations as low as 15 parts per billion, which they believe could be useful in preventing food spoilage.
