A team of Stanford University engineers developed new technology that allows heat and sunlight to be redirected from buildings and back into space without the use of electricity. This remarkable heat transfer technology allows buildings to be cooled even in the sunniest of days. Stanford engineers came up with the idea after realizing that there was a great amount of energy to be spared … [Read more...]
Scientists create first man-made ‘living materials’ using E coli
Taking inspiration from the natural materials like bones and minerals, the researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created first man-made living materials using E.coli bacteria. The unique feature of this new invention is that the created material has properties of both living and non-living things. The researchers coaxed the bacteria cells to produce biofilms that can … [Read more...]
