Light Rail Transit (LRT) Planned for Islamabad by CDA
The Islamabad Capital Development Authority (CDA) has initiated the process of
devising a plan for the implementation of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system in Islamabad,
with the objective of addressing the increasing transportation demands within the city.
The planning department of the CDA has contacted the Economic Affairs Division in
order to secure financial support for the implementation of the project through an
international donor, such as the Asian Development Bank or the Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Based on preliminary assessments, a comprehensive study has identified four
potential routes for the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. These routes include a 30.5km long
route from Rawat to Faisal Mosque along Islamabad Expressway and Faisal Avenue, a
13.7km route from N5 (popularly known as G.T. Road) to Pakistan Monument via Srinagar
Highway, a 27.5km route from Rawat at T-Chowk to 26 No Stop on G.T. Road, and a
10.4km route from Pirwadhai to
Faizabad via the IJP road.

In light of the significant congestion caused by the high volume of vehicles on the
roads, city officials in Islamabad have made the decision to introduce the Light Rail Transit
(LRT) system. Traffic engineers have concluded that the current Bus Rapid Transit System
(BRTS) is inadequate to handle the increasing demand and load on the transportation

First Biofloc Fish Farm Establishment in Tando Jam
A sizable biofloc fish farm has been established in Hyderabad’s Tando Jam
neighbourhood as a first. The biofloc fish farm, which covers 1.5 acres, has 60 tanks with
mechanically controlled oxygen levels and temperature that can produce 50 tonnes of fish or
prawns annually for both domestic and international markets. A fish farming system called
Biofloc Technology (BT) uses leftover nutrients as fish food. To create microbial protein
from toxic fish waste and other organic matter in the water, Biofloc, or more specifically,
cultured microorganisms, are added to the water. This saves money while also maintaining
water quality.
Earlier, BT was implemented in Sindh as small-scale pilot project, and eventually, a
commercial organization called “As-Sammak” established it on a large scale. Additionally,
As-Sammak is offering consulting and assistance with the development of the BT fish farm.
According to the founder and chairman of As-Sammak, Mr. Shaukat Hussain, BT fish
farming can satisfy both local market demand and export. Hussain claimed that the
investment in a BT fish tank cost Rs. 270,000 and could be repaid in two years, pending
sales. He explained that as soon as the initial cost is recovered, the profit margin grows. Fish
waste is used as fish feed in BT fish farming, so the cost of commercial feed is not included
in operating costs. Hussain stated that although they are currently concentrating on fish, they
intend to raise prawns and prawns in the future as these are exportable products that can help
the nation raise much-needed foreign currency.

Smart Helmets Developed by Pakistani Engineers to Safeguard Motorcyclists
Karachi computer engineers have created a smart helmet and accident alert system to
protect motorbike riders from collisions and ensure prompt medical care in the event of an
accident. The goal is to save the lives of motorcyclists in Karachi by providing immediate
medical assistance. The helmet sends out alerts to specific phone numbers, hospitals,
ambulances, and wards, as well as the location of the motorbike rider wearing the helmet, to
let friends and family know when there has been an accident or emergency.
According to Muhammad Altmish Akhtar, the solar-powered smart helmet and
emergency alert system are furnished with standard pressure plates, helmet-mounted sensors,
and GPRS systems in addition to GSM. The majority of the components in the initial sample
are installed outside the helmet, whereas they will be installed inside the smart helmets in the
final product to protect them from the effects of rain and wear and tear. It is possible to
provide immediate emergency medical assistance to the accident-prone motorcyclist by using
the ambulance service’s vibration sensor system to alert friends and family to pre-specified
emergency numbers of nearby hospitals. The location is also shared with the alert.
The alert won’t be issued in the event of a helmet fall because pressure plates are
installed inside the helmet, which are only activated when the helmet is worn. However,
motorcyclists can manually issue an alert in other emergency situations by pressing a button.
Additional features, such as virtual head-off displays and machine learning, can also be added
to the helmet. With
the

Technology to Conduct Biometric Identification of Animals in Pakistan
Nowadays, it’s quite simple to find technology that can read and recognize human
fingerprints, DNA, eyes, or blood arteries, but the same cannot be true for animals. Such
technology is uncommon since it is difficult to deal with distinctive identifiers that can
authenticate animals.
But owing to Syed Umaid Ahmed, a Ph.D scholar at FAST-NUCES, Karachi,
Pakistan will soon be one of the few nations to successfully utilize this technology. Syed
Umaid and his colleagues have just finished working on a project called Animal Biometrics,
which seeks to identify animals and the owners of those animals. It is being trained to work
with horses, dogs, and other animals, but its main consideration is on cattle, especially cows
and buffalo.
This technology allows identification and authentication of various animals using just
a smartphone app by snapping images and collecting their data, much as fingerprints recorded
with NADRA. No two animals have the same nose patterns, just like no two people have the
same fingerprints. Through these nasal patterns, the aforementioned smartphone app will be
able to identify an animal and store its identity in a directory. The app’s algorithm is trained
using more than 4000 cattle-related photographs. According to Syed Umaid, the app is almost
70% complete and will be made available to the public for free. Additionally, it will be open-
source so that anyone can utilize it.

NADRA Introduces Iris Biometric Verification Technology
National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced Iris
Recognition System at its few registration centers to strengthen the existing biometric
verification system. NADRA started off with fingerprint matching as the first biometric
reduplication modality over a decade ago which was subsequently strengthened with facial
images matching capability.
The Iris recognition system, which was piloted at NADRA Headquarters, has now
been rolled out at its registration centers at Blue Area Islamabad, PECO Road Lahore and
DHA Karachi. The phased deployment of the technology will continue across all 700 NRCs
(NADRA registration centers) nationwide. This automated biometric identification modality
registers distinctive patterns within a ring-shaped region surrounding the pupil of each eye for
identification. The Iris Recognition is an extremely reliable and accurate identification
method with negligible false match rates adding third biometric modality to the biometric
verification system.
The deployment of premium identity
authentication by the authority leverages
state-of- the-art recognition technology,
offering precision with enhanced security
and efficiency in the identity verification of
citizens. The introduction of the Iris
Recognition System marks a significant leap
forward in securing citizens’ identities,
where the window to their soul becomes the
fortress of their digital existence. NADRA’s
achievement will usher in a new era in
Pakistan where an individual’s identity credentials can be captured through the most precise,
secure and hygienic option of Iris biometrics.

Engineers Harvest Abundant Clean Energy from Thin Air, 24/7
A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has recently shown
that nearly any material can be turned into a device that continuously harvests electricity from
humidity in the air. The secret lies in being able to pepper the material with nanopores less
than 100 nanometers in diameter. The air contains an enormous amount of electricity. Think
of a cloud, which is nothing more than a mass of water droplets. Each of those droplets
contains a charge, and when conditions are right, the cloud can produce a lightning bolt but
we don’t know how to reliably capture electricity from lightning. What we’ve done is to
create a human-built, small-scale cloud that produces electricity for us predictably and
continuously so that we can harvest it.
The researchers realized that they could design an electricity harvester based around
this number. This harvester would be made from a thin layer of material filled with nanopores
smaller than 100 nm that would let water molecules pass from the upper to the lower part of
the material.
But because each pore is so small, the
water molecules would easily bump into the
pore’s edge as they pass through the thin layer.
This means that the upper part of the layer would
be bombarded with many more charge-carrying
water molecules than the lower part, creating a
charge imbalance, like that in a cloud, as the
upper part increased its charge relative to the
lower part. This would effectually create a
battery—one that runs as long as there is any
humidity in the air. Because air humidity diffuses
in three-dimensional space and the thickness of
the Air-gen device is only a fraction of the width
of a human hair, many thousands of them can be stacked on top of each other, efficiently
scaling up the amount of energy without increasing the footprint of the device. Such an Air-
gen device would be capable of delivering kilowatt-level power for general electrical utility
usage.

Robot ‘Chef’ Learns to Recreate Recipes from Watching Food Videos
Researchers have trained a robotic ‘chef’ to watch and learn from cooking videos, and
recreate the dish itself. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, programmed their
robotic chef with a ‘cookbook’ of eight simple salad recipes. After watching a video of a
human demonstrating one of the recipes, the robot was able to identify which recipe was
being prepared and make it.
In addition, the videos helped the robot incrementally add to its cookbook. At the end
of the experiment, the robot came up with a ninth recipe on its own. Robotic chefs have been
featured in science fiction for decades, but in reality, cooking is a challenging problem for a
robot. Several commercial companies have built prototype robot chefs, although none of
these are currently commercially available, and they lag well behind their human counterparts
in terms of skill. Human cooks can learn new recipes through observation, whether that’s
watching another person cook or watching a video on YouTube, but programming a robot to
make a range of dishes is costly and time-consuming. The researchers then used a publicly
available neural network to train their robot chef. The neural network had already been
programmed to identify a range of different objects, including the fruits and vegetables used
in the eight salad recipes (broccoli, carrot, apple, banana and orange).
Using computer vision techniques, the robot analyzed each frame of video and was
able to identify the different objects and features, such as a knife and the ingredients, as well
as the human demonstrator’s arms, hands and face. Both the recipes and the videos were
converted to vectors and the
robot
performed
mathematical operations on
the vectors to determine the
similarity
between
a
demonstration and a vector.
By correctly identifying the
ingredients and the actions of the human chef, the robot could determine which of the recipes
was being prepared. The robot could infer that if the human demonstrator was holding a knife
in one hand and a carrot in the other, the carrot would then get chopped up.

AI Based Drug That can Combat Drug-Resistant Infections
The machine-learning algorithm identified a compound that kills Acinetobacter
baumannii, a bacterium that lurks in many hospital settings. Using an artificial intelligence
algorithm, researchers have identified a new antibiotic that can kill a type of bacteria that is
responsible for many drug-resistant infections.
If developed for use in patients, the drug could help to combat Acinetobacter
baumannii, a species of bacteria that is often found in hospitals and can lead to pneumonia,
meningitis, and other serious infections. Acinetobacter can survive on hospital doorknobs and
equipment for long periods of time, and it can take up antibiotic resistance genes from its
environment. It’s really common now to find A. baumannii isolates that are resistant to nearly
every antibiotic.
The researchers identified the new drug from a library of nearly 7,000 potential drug
compounds using a machine-learning model that they trained to evaluate whether a chemical
compound will inhibit the growth of A. baumannii. This finding further supports the premise
that AI can significantly accelerate and expand our search for novel antibiotics. In their initial
demonstration, the researchers trained a machine-learning algorithm to identify chemical
structures that could inhibit growth of E. coli. In a screen of more than 100 million
compounds, that algorithm yielded a molecule that the researchers called halicin, after the
fictional artificial intelligence system from “2001: A Space Odyssey.” This molecule, they
showed, could kill not only E. coli but several other bacterial species that are resistant to
treatment.
To obtain training data for their computational model, the researchers first exposed A.
baumannii grown in a lab dish to about
7,500 different chemical compounds to
see which ones could inhibit growth of
the microbe. Then they fed the structure
of each molecule into the model. They
also told the model whether each structure
could inhibit bacterial growth or not. This
allowed the algorithm to learn chemical
features associated with growth inhibition.

Extracting Clean Fuel from Water
New catalyst lowers cost for producing environmentally sustainable hydrogen from
water. Clean hydrogen could not only propel vehicles with no emitted pollutants but also help
decarbonize industrial processes. A plentiful supply of clean energy is lurking in plain sight.
It is the hydrogen we can extract from water (H2O) using renewable energy. Scientists are
seeking low-cost methods for producing clean hydrogen from water to replace fossil fuels, as
part of the quest to combat climate change.
Hydrogen can power vehicles while emitting nothing but water. Hydrogen is also an
important chemical for many industrial processes, most notably in steel making and ammonia
production. Using cleaner hydrogen is highly desirable in those industries. By using the
cobalt-based catalyst prepared by new method, we can remove the main bottleneck of cost to
produce clean hydrogen in an electrolyzer.
A process called electrolysis produces hydrogen and oxygen from water and has been
around for more than a century. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers represent a
new generation of technology for this process. They can split water into hydrogen and
oxygen with higher efficiency at near room temperature. The reduced energy demand makes
them an ideal choice for producing clean hydrogen by using renewable but intermittent
sources, such as solar and wind.
This electrolyzer runs with separate catalysts for each of its electrodes (cathode and
anode). The cathode catalyst yields hydrogen, while the anode catalyst forms oxygen. A
problem is that the anode catalyst uses iridium, which has a current market price of around
$5,000 per ounce. The lack of supply and high cost of iridium pose a major barrier for
widespread adoption of PEM electrolyzers.
The team’s achievement is a step
forward
in DOE’s
Hydrogen
Energy
Earthshot initiative, which mimics the U.S.
space program’s “Moon Shot” of the 1960s.
Its ambitious goal is to lower the cost for

Fiber-Optic Sensing and New Materials that can Reduce the Cost of
Floating Offshore Wind (FOSW) Turbines
Researchers are giving floating offshore wind turbines abilities to self-monitor and
self-heal. In shallow waters, offshore wind turbines are fixed to the ocean floor. However, in
deep water areas where winds are typically stronger and have the capacity to reap more than
double the energy, floating offshore wind turbines must be moored to the seabed where the
ocean is too deep for fixed structures. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are developing sensing technologies consisting
of fiber-optic cables, which could be installed on FOSW structures that have been planned off
the California coast. This would allow structures to self-monitor damaging conditions that
could lead to costly repairs and would also help gauge how FOSW impacts marine mammals
by detecting their activity.
In collaboration with experts in materials science, engineering, geophysics, and
FOSW developers from around the world, Berkeley Lab scientist Yuxin Wu is now working
to develop solutions to reduce the cost of FOSW development and deployment, while
minimizing potential environmental impacts.
A fiber cable has a glass core that allows you to send an optical signal at the speed of
light; when there is any vibration, strain, or change in temperature of the material that is
being monitored, that
information will be
carried in the light
signal
that
is
scattered back. When
attached
to
or
embedded within the
wind
turbine
structure, this gives it
a “nervous system”
which allows it to “hear” and “feel.” The fiber is able to monitor surrounding acoustic
signals, such as whale calls, which can help scientists assess potential impacts to large marine
mammals from FOSW operations.

Liquid Metal Sticks to Surfaces without a Binding Agent
Everyday materials such as paper and plastic could be transformed into electronic
“smart devices” by using a simple new method to apply liquid metal to surfaces, according to
scientists in Beijing, China. The study demonstrates a technique for applying a liquid metal
coating to surfaces that do not easily bond with liquid metal. The approach is designed to
work at a large scale and may have applications in wearable testing platforms, flexible
devices, and soft robotics.
Before, we thought that it was impossible for liquid metal to adhere to non-wetting
surfaces so easily, but here it can adhere to various surfaces only by adjusting the pressure.
previous research has mainly focused on a technique called transfer printing, which involves
using a third material to bind the liquid metal to the surface. But this strategy comes with
drawbacks i.e. adding more materials can complicate the process and may weaken the end
product’s electrical, thermal, or mechanical performance.
The researchers found that rubbing the liquid metal-covered stamp against the paper
with a small amount of force enabled the metal droplets to bind effectively to the surface,
while applying larger amounts of force prevented the droplets from staying in place. The
team folded the metal-coated
paper
into
a
paper
crane,
demonstrating that the surface can
still be folded as usual after the
process is completed. And after
doing so, the modified paper still
maintains its usual properties.
Just like wet ink on paper
can be wiped off by hand, the
liquid metal coating without
packaging here also can be wiped
off by the object it touches as it is
applied,”
said
Yuan.
“The
properties of the coating itself will not be greatly affected, but objects in contact may be
soiled.

‘Heat Highways’ Could Keep Electronics Cool
As smart electronic devices become smaller and more powerful, they can generate a
lot of heat, leading to slower processing times and sudden shutdowns. But shrinking sizes
mean that these devices concentrate heat in smaller areas, which can cause lagging computing
speeds and even force devices to completely shut down unexpectedly to prevent damage.
Now, in ACS Applied Nano Materials, researchers use an electrospinning approach to
produce a new nanocomposite film. To dissipate this heat, researchers are turning to
nanocomposite materials that contain a flexible polymer and thermally conductive filler. A
simple way to make nanocomposites is by electrospinning, in which a solution of polymer
and filler is jetted out of a syringe through an electrically charged nozzle, forming fibers that
build up into a thin film. While simple, electrospinning from a single solution, or uniaxial
electrospinning, makes it difficult to control the material’s properties.
The researchers made one solution with their selected polymer, polyvinyl alcohol, and
a separate solution with the thermally conductive filler, a nanodiamond material, to produce
the new nanocomposite. By fitting a syringe of each solution onto a nozzle that combined the
two, the researchers made fibers with a polyvinyl alcohol core and nanodiamond coating,
rather
than
a
random
distribution
of
the
two
components. The researchers
say the coated fibers act as a
“highway” to direct heat,
like traffic, along and across
the fibers throughout the
film. In tests, the new
materials
dissipated
heat
better than those made with
the traditional nozzle and
were four times as thermally conductive as previously reported nanocomposites. The
researchers say that these films could one day be used to keep tiny electronics working hard
while staying cool.

Water Molecules Define the Materials around Us
A new paper argues that materials like wood, bacteria, and fungi belong to a newly
identified class of matter, "hydration solids". A new research argues that the character of
many biological materials is actually created by the water that permeates these materials.
Water gives rise to a solid and goes on to define the properties of that solid, all the while
maintaining its liquid characteristics. The authors group these and other materials into a new
class of matter that they call “hydration solids,” which they say “acquire their structural
rigidity, the defining characteristic of the solid state, from the fluid permeating their pores”.
One of the researcher involved in this study, used the metaphor of a building to
describe the team's finding. According to him, "If you think of biological materials like a
skyscraper, the molecular building blocks are the steel frames that hold them up, and water in
between the molecular building blocks is the air inside the steel frames. We discovered that
some skyscrapers aren't supported by their steel frames, but by the air within those frames.
This idea may seem hard
to believe, but it resolves
mysteries
and
helps
predict the existence of
exciting phenomena in
materials.
When water is in
its liquid
its
molecules strike a fine
balance between order
and disorder. But when
the molecules that form biological materials combine with water, they tip the balance toward
order: Water wants to return to its original state. As a result, the water molecules push the
biological matter's molecules away. That pushing force, called the hydration force, was
identified in the 1970s, but its impact on biological matter was thought to be limited. This
research arguments that the hydration force is what defines the character of biological matter
almost entirely, including how soft or hard it is, thus comes as a surprise.

Tiny Video Capsule an Alternative to Conventional Endoscopy
While ingestible video capsule endoscopes have been around for many years, the
capsules have been limited by the fact that they could not be controlled by physicians. They
moved passively, driven only by gravity and the natural movement of the body. Now,
according to a first-of-its-kind research study at George Washington University, physicians
can remotely drive a miniature video capsule to all regions of the stomach to visualize and
photograph potential problem areas. The new technology uses an external magnet and hand-
held video game style joysticks to move the capsule in three-dimensions in the stomach. This
new technology comes closer to the capabilities of a traditional tube-based endoscopy.
While using the joystick requires additional time and training, software is being
developed that will use artificial intelligence to self-drive the capsule to all parts of the
stomach with a push of the button and record any potential risky abnormalities. That would
make it easier to use the system as a diagnostic tool or screening test. In addition, the videos
can be easily transmitted for off-site review if a gastroenterologist is not on-site to over-read
the images.
The researchers conducted a study of 40 patients at a physician office building using
the magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy. They found that the doctor could direct the
capsule to all major parts of the stomach with a 95 percent rate of visualization. Capsules
were driven by the physician and then the study reports were reviewed by an attending
gastroenterologist who was physically off-site.

Scientists Report World’s First X-Ray of a Single Atom in Nature
Researchers have taken the world’s first X-ray SIGNAL (or SIGNATURE) of just
one atom. Since its discovery by Roentgen in 1895, X-rays have been used everywhere, from
medical examinations to security screenings in airports. Even Curiosity, NASA’s Mars rover,
is equipped with an X-ray device to examine the materials composition of the rocks in Mars.
The smallest amount one can X-ray a sample is in attogram, that is about 10,000 atoms or
more. This is due to the X-ray signal produced by an atom being extremely weak so that the
conventional X-ray detectors cannot be used to detect it.
Atoms can be routinely imaged with scanning probe microscopes, but without X-rays
one cannot tell what they are made of. We
can now detect exactly the type of a
particular atom, one atom-at-a-time, and can
simultaneously measure its chemical state.
This will
have a great impact on
environmental and medical sciences and
maybe even find a cure that can have a huge
impact for humankind. This discovery will
transform the world. For demonstration, the
team chose an iron atom and a terbium atom,
both inserted in respective molecular hosts. To detect X-ray signal of one atom, the research
team supplemented conventional detectors in X-rays with a specialized detector made of a
sharp metal tip positioned at extreme proximity to the sample to collect X-ray excited
electrons – a technique known as synchrotron X-ray scanning tunneling microscopy or SX-
STM. X-ray spectroscopy in SX-STM is triggered by photoabsorption of core level electrons,
which constitutes elemental fingerprints and is effective in identifying the elemental type of
the materials directly. The spectrums are like fingerprints, each one being unique and able to
detect exactly what it is. The technique used, and concept proven in this study, broke new
ground in X-ray science and nanoscale studies. Using X-rays to detect and characterize
individual atoms could revolutionize research and give birth to new technologies in areas
such as quantum information and the detection of trace elements in environmental and
medical research.

Four-Legged Robot Traverses Tricky Terrains through 3D Vision
Researchers led by the University of California San Diego have developed a new
model that trains four-legged robots to see more clearly in 3D. The robot is enabled to
autonomously cross challenging terrain with ease, including stairs, rocky ground and gap-
filled paths, clearing obstacles in its way.
By providing the robot with a better understanding of its surroundings in 3D, it can be
deployed in more complex environments in the real world. The robot is equipped with a
forward-facing depth camera on its head. The camera is tilted downwards at an angle that
gives it a good view of both the scene in front of it and the terrain beneath it. To improve the
robot’s 3D perception, the researchers developed a model that first takes 2D images from the
camera and translates them into 3D space. It does this by looking at a short video sequence
that consists of the current frame and a few previous frames, then extracting pieces of 3D
information from each 2D frame. That includes information about the robot’s leg movements
such as joint angle, joint velocity and distance from the ground. The model compares the
information from the previous frames with information from the current frame to estimate the
3D transformation between the past and the present. The model fuses all that information
together so that it can use the
current frame to synthesize the
previous frames. As the robot
moves, the model checks the
synthesized frames against the
frames that the camera has already
captured. If they are a good match,
then the model knows that it has
learned the correct representation of
the 3D scene. Otherwise, it makes
corrections until it gets it right. The
3D representation is used to control the robot’s movement. By synthesizing visual
information from the past, the robot is able to remember what it has seen, as well as the
actions its legs have taken before, and use that memory to inform its next moves. The
approach allows the robot to build a short-term memory of its 3D surroundings so that it can
act better.

A New Way to Develop Drugs without Side Effects
Researchers discovered a novel method to activate G-protein coupled receptors from
inside the cells, and it helps develop drugs without side effects. We often wonder how drugs
reach their targets and achieve their function within our bodies? If a drug molecule or a
ligand is a message, an inbox is typically a receptor in the cell membrane.
One such receptor, involved in relaying molecular signals is a G protein coupled
receptor (GPCR). About one-third of existing drugs work by controlling the activation of this
protein. Japanese researchers now reveal a new way of activating GPCR by triggering shape
changes in the intracellular region of the receptor. This new process can help researchers
design drugs with fewer or no side effects. If the cell membrane is like an Oreo cookie
sandwich, GPCR is like a snake with seven segments traversing in and out of the cookie
sandwich surface. The extracellular loops are the inbox for messages. When a message
molecule binds to the extracellular side of the receptor, it triggers a shape change activating G
proteins and β-arrestin protein attached to the intracellular side of the receptor. Like a
molecular relay, the information passes downstream and affects various bodily processes.
A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo, discovered a new receptor
activation mode of a bone metabolism related GPCR called human parathyroid hormone type
1 receptor (PTH1R) without signal transduction from the extracellular side.
Treatments for osteoporosis that target PTH1R require strict dosage, have
administration route restrictions, and there aren't yet any better alternatives. The team
synthesized a non-peptide message molecule called PCO371 which binds to the intracellular
region of the receptor and interacts directly with G protein subunits. In other words, PCO371
activates the receptor after entering the cell.

Megawatt Electrical Motor Designed By MIT Engineers to Electrify
Aviation
Aviation’s huge carbon footprint could shrink significantly with electrification. To
date, however, only small all-electric planes have gotten off the ground. Their electric motors
generate hundreds of kilowatts of power. To electrify larger, heavier jets, such as commercial
airliners, megawatt-scale motors are required. These would be propelled by hybrid or turbo-
electric propulsion systems where an electrical machine is coupled with a gas turbine aero-
engine.
To meet this need, a team of MIT engineers is now creating a 1-megawatt motor that
could be a key stepping stone toward electrifying larger aircraft. The team has designed and
tested the major components of the motor, and shown through detailed computations that the
coupled components can work as a whole to generate one megawatt of power, at a weight and
size competitive with current small aero-engines.
For all-electric applications, the team envisions the motor could be paired with a
source of electricity such as a battery or a fuel cell. The motor could then turn the electrical
energy into mechanical work to power a plane’s propellers. The electrical machine could also
be paired with a traditional turbofan jet engine to run as a hybrid propulsion system,
providing electric propulsion during certain phases of a flight.
As a whole system, the motor is designed such that the distributed circuit boards are
close coupled with the electrical machine to minimize transmission loss and to allow
effective air cooling through the integrated heat exchanger.

New Technique Substantially Reduces Mouse Damage to Crops Even
During Plagues
A non-toxic method to prevent mice from devouring wheat crops has been shown to
drastically reduce seed loss. The technique, developed by scientists at the University of
Sydney, could be a game-changer in the management of crop loss to mice plague. The team
estimates that mice could steal 63 percent less wheat seeds, compared to untreated crop, if a
wheat crop is sprayed with diluted wheat germ oil during and after sowing.
The researchers found that if the wheat plot was also sprayed with the same solution
before planting, then seed loss could be reduced by 74 percent. This is because the mice had
learned to ignore unrewarding wheat odor by the time the crop is planted. The researchers
found that they could reduce mice damage during plague conditions simply by making it hard
for mice to find their food, by camouflaging the seed odor. Because they're hungry, they can’t
spend all their time searching for food that’s hard to find. When the smell of the seed is
everywhere, they'll just go and look for something else instead of being encouraged to dig.
That’s because mice are precise foragers that can smell seeds in the ground and dig exactly
where a seed is, but they can’t do that in this situation because everything smells like the
seeds. This misinformation tactic could work well in other crop systems too, indeed any
animal that finds food by smell is potentially vulnerable to this manipulation.
The camouflage appeared to last until after the seeds germinated, which is the period
of vulnerability when wheat needs to be protected.
