Scientists Deploy AI to Observe Plants
Researchers from the University of Zurich have been closely studying how plants respond to changing
environmental conditions. These scientists are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze vast
amounts of data collected during their observations. Through the PlantServation project, researchers
conducted observations on plants situated in a test field at the University of Zurich's Irchel campus.
Researchers utilized high-resolution image
capturing equipment along with AI-driven
software to monitor these plants over three
growing seasons, spanning from spring to
fall (approximately five months). This
method allows the researchers to process
and evaluate massive amounts of data.
Importantly, traditional analysis techniques

Battery-Free Robots Utilize Origami to Alter Their Shape in Mid-air
A group of researchers has created compact robotic devices capable of altering their flight pattern by
"snapping" into a folded position during descent. These devices are equipped with an onboard battery-
free actuator, a circuit for harvesting solar power,
and a controller that initiates these shape changes
while in mid-air. In the image provided, you can see
an example of one such "microflier" in its unfolded
state. These "microfliers" employ a Miura-ori
origami fold when released from a drone. This fold
enables them to transition from a tumbling and
outward-dispersing motion through the air to a
direct descent towards the ground. To control the timing of each device's transition and ensure they
spread out effectively, the researchers employ several methods, including an onboard pressure sensor
for estimating altitude, an onboard timer, or a Bluetooth signal. These robotic systems are designed to
be rigid enough to prevent accidental transitions to the folded state before receiving the signal, can
rapidly switch between states, with their onboard actuators requiring just about 25 milliseconds to
initiate the folding process and have the capability to change shape without being connected to a
power source.

created from this material can withstand hundreds of uses, presenting the opportunity to significantly
reduce waste. For instance, a single pair of gloves made from this material could potentially prevent
nearly 20 pounds of waste that would have been generated by disposable single-use nitrile gloves.
Read Though the Walls Using WIFI
Researchers have introduced a groundbreaking concept that can enable the high-quality imaging of
stationary objects using only WiFi signals. Their approach relies on the Geometrical Theory of
Diffraction and the associated Keller cones to precisely trace the edges of objects. Remarkably, this
technique has achieved a significant milestone by enabling the imaging and recognition of the English
alphabet through walls using WiFi signals, a task previously considered challenging due to the
intricate details of the letters. The researchers noted that capturing images of static scenes using WiFi
is notably challenging since there
is no motion to help with signal
interpretation. To address this
formidable
problem,
they
adopted a completely innovative
approach centered on accurately
tracing the object edges. This
innovative development represents a continuation of the groundbreaking research conducted by the

composed of aluminum nitride to produce deep-UV
(ultraviolet) light through a method that diverges from
conventional approaches. Their method is based on a
process known as "second harmonic generation,"
which exploits the relationship between the frequency
and energy of photons, or light particles. The
innovative process for generating deep-UV light draws
inspiration from semiconductor processing techniques. This approach enables precise control over the
orientation of the aluminum nitride crystal, a level of precision that was challenging to attain using
previous methods. The prototype device produces UV light with a wavelength falling within a highly
specific range. This range contains enough energy to effectively eliminate germs while posing
minimal harm to humans.
Bacteria to Generate Electricity from Water
Researchers have ingeniously engineered the common E. Coli bacteria to generate electricity from
various common sources, including wastewater. Conventional wastewater treatment plants consume
substantial energy and contribute to around 3 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. By harnessing
bacteria to convert wastewater into electricity, this technology holds the potential to significantly
mitigate the environmental impact of wastewater treatment. Importantly, this innovation offers
flexibility for implementation across the globe, utilizing a wide array of waste sources. According to
the researchers, this breakthrough has profound implications for bioelectronics, enabling the creation
of electronic devices powered by living microbes with
nearly limitless applications. Bacteria possess the
remarkable capability to break down carbon-containing
organic compounds into different chemicals. Scientists
have harnessed this bacterial capacity to convert human
waste into fuel and to engineer specific types of bacteria
capable of digesting sugars to produce the fundamental
components of fuels, pharmaceuticals, and materials like
nylon. This utilization of bacteria in biotechnology holds great promise for sustainable and eco-

A Novel Approach to Extract More Heat from Geothermal Reservoirs
To enhance the efficiency of geothermal systems, researchers have put forth a novel concept known as
the "Fracture Conductivity Tuning Technique." This technique revolves the management of cold water
flow to facilitate hot water flow through fractures,
which are found deep underground within rock
formations. Geothermal heat represents a highly
promising source of renewable energy, characterized
by nearly zero emissions. However, despite its
environmental benefits, it remains a relatively
expensive
option
for
electricity
generation.
Researchers are actively working on innovative
techniques like the fracture conductivity tuning technique to make geothermal energy more cost-
effective and accessible. Newly proposed technique by scientists holds the promise of averting "short-
circuits," a common issue that can lead to the shutdown of geothermal power plants. This innovation
has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and continuous operation of geothermal power
generation.
New Method for Purifying Drinking Water
Scientists have devised a novel technique for converting seawater into drinking water, which could
prove invaluable in disaster-stricken areas where access to electrical power is limited. The
predominant method employed for desalinating seawater, specifically removing salt (sodium chloride),
is reverse osmosis. This process relies on a porous
membrane that permits the passage of water
molecules while blocking the salt molecules. A
team of scientists from the Universities of Bath,
Swansea, and Edinburgh has developed a novel
technique that doesn't rely on external pressure but
rather uses a small amount of electrical energy to
draw chloride ions through a membrane toward a
positively charged electrode. This process results in water molecules being pushed through the
membrane concurrently with chloride ions, creating a piston-like effect. Simultaneously, sodium ions
are retained on the opposite side of the membrane, attracted to the negatively charged electrode. The
chloride ions are subsequently cycled back into the chamber containing the saltwater, and this cycle
repeats, progressively drawing in more water molecules.

A Material Allowing Windows to Block Specific Targeted Wavelengths of Light
Researchers have developed a material designed for next-generation dynamic windows. These
windows offer building occupants the ability to switch between three modes, transparent (normal)
windows, windows that block infrared light to aid in cooling buildings and tinted windows that
manage glare while preserving the view. Dynamic windows based on electrochromism, meaning their
opacity changes in response to electric stimulus, are not a new concept. But, to this point, most
dynamic windows were either clear or
dark. The latest research indicates that
there
are
alternative
approaches
available.
Researchers

successfully illustrated that it's possible
to enable light to pass through windows
while simultaneously contributing to
the cooling of buildings, thereby
enhancing their energy efficiency.
Researchers Discover Sand that Flows Up
This breakthrough discovery holds the potential for a wide array of applications across various fields,
including healthcare, material transport, and agriculture. Researchers have discovered that by applying
torque and an attractive force to each individual grain of sand, it becomes possible for the sand to flow
in unusual directions, including uphill, up
walls, and up and down stairs. This unique
approach to manipulating granular materials
has significant implications for various
applications and industries. By utilizing
equations that describe the behavior of
granular materials, scientists were able to
provide clear evidence that these particles were
moving in a manner consistent with granular
materials, even though they were flowing
uphill, which is a remarkable departure from
conventional expectations. This observation
opens up new possibilities for understanding and harnessing the dynamics of granular materials in
unconventional scenarios.
