BIODEGRADABLE FOOD PACKAGING


Imagine packaging that you can actually eat! That's the concept behind edible packaging,
developed by American specialists using milk protein, specifically casein. This innovative
idea was presented at the National Exhibition of the American Chemical Society in
Philadelphia. It's a promising alternative to traditional plastic packaging, which is toxic and
doesn't decompose naturally. While starch-based materials have been tried, they have a
porous structure that leads to quick spoilage. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has
developed a new material based on milk protein, though it initially dissolved quickly in
water and had high breathability. The game-changer was adding citrus pectin, which made
the packaging resistant to high temperatures and humidity, and also increased its strength.
This breakthrough offers a strong, eco-friendly solution to our plastic problem.

GOODYEAR OXYGENE
Goodyear has developed a new, eco-friendly car tire called the "Goodyear Oxygene," which
is part of a growing trend toward green technology. These innovative tires feature moss
growing on their sides and have a unique ability to perform photosynthesis, just like plants.
As you drive, the tires absorb moisture from the road and carbon dioxide from the air. The
moss then converts this carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis. For every
eleven thousand pounds of carbon dioxide the tires absorb, they produce about eight
thousand eight hundred pounds of oxygen. This means that, potentially, just driving with
these tires could help improve air quality in cities. However, for this technology to make a
real impact, it would need to be widely adopted and integrated into everyday use.

AIRCRAFT
A new invention by engineer Vladimir Taratenko from Kyiv aims to boost safety during plane
crashes with a revolutionary rescue capsule. Here’s how it works: if a plane crashes, a
section containing the passenger cabin and crew seats ejects through a rear hatch in just 2
to 3 seconds. A small parachute first deploys, which then pulls out a larger parachute. This
larger parachute helps to pull the rescue capsule away from the plane. Sensors in the
capsule then activate motors to slow its descent, ensuring a controlled and safe landing. The
design ensures the capsule lands without speed, making it safe for everyone inside.
However, this system can only be used on planes equipped with a specific rear hatch, so it’s
not compatible with all aircraft, such as many made by Airbus and Boeing.

BIO-INK
Scientists at Rutgers University are developing an exciting new material called Bio-Ink,
designed for 3D printing organs. This innovative approach aims to revolutionize organ
transplantation by allowing doctors to print organs directly inside a patient's body,
eliminating the need for surgical procedures to implant external organs. While current 3D
printing techniques have been used for creating bones and other structures outside the
body, they still involve risks associated with surgery. The breakthrough with Bio-Ink is that it
solidifies at around ninety-eight point six degrees Fahrenheit, which is close to normal body
temperature. This means it can turn from a liquid to a solid right where it's needed. The next
big challenge for scientists is to create components within the Bio-Ink that can accurately
replicate human organ tissues, ensuring they meet the body's specific needs. This could be a
game changer in the medical field!

DESERTEC SOLAR POWER PLANTS


In nineteen eighty-seven, physicist Gerhard Nies had a groundbreaking idea: what if we built
massive solar power plants in the Sahara Desert to generate electricity for all of Africa? At
first, people weren’t buying it, but by two thousand six, Nies rallied support from fellow
scientists and big companies. This led to the launch of the Desertec project in two thousand
nine, with a goal to create a vast network of solar stations. The project, estimated to cost
around four hundred billion euros, aims to produce up to one hundred gigawatts of eco-
friendly electricity—enough to power one hundred traditional power plants! But that’s not
all; Desertec will also tackle freshwater scarcity by constructing desalination plants that turn
seawater into freshwater. By two thousand fifty, the entire system should be up and
running, covering a massive area of about fourteen thousand five hundred square
kilometers. This ambitious plan could truly change the game for energy and water in
Northern Africa!
