Sindh Govt Test Runs Electric Buses in Karachi
Both in cities and elsewhere, transport is the major polluter. For this reason, creating
cleaner and more sustainable system is vital. Electric buses are a key part of this process. The
Sindh government introduced electric buses on Karachi’s streets that hope to tackle the
environmental pollution challenge in the big city.
The Sindh government has purchased around 50 buses. However, initially, 10 buses
will be run as a pilot to ascertain the obstacles that may arise. According to the Sindh
Minister of Transport and Mass Transit, Sharjeel Inam Memon, the buses will be charged
through solar energy and the project will reduce the carbon profile also. The government has
been trying to build plants for electric buses.
The buses will allow the government to provide cheaper transport in an era of
expensive fuel apart from reducing the pollution. The fare of the electric buses will cost less
when compared to other conventional buses. To operate the electric buses, the roads of the
city are under observation. The buses will be operational once the construction work is
completed.

Recycled Gold from SIM Cards could Help Make Drugs more Sustainable
Researchers have used gold extracted from electronic waste as catalysts for reactions
that could be applied to making medicines. Re-using gold from electronic waste prevents it
from being lost to landfill, and using this reclaimed gold for drug manufacture reduces the
need to mine new materials. Current catalysts are often made of rare metals, which are
extracted using expensive, energy-intensive and damaging mining processes. The method for
extracting gold was developed by researchers at the University of Cagliari in Italy and the
process for using the recovered gold was developed by researchers at Imperial College
London.
Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) contains a wealth of metals that
could be used in a range of new products. Finding ways to recover and use these metals in a
low-cost, low-energy and non-toxic way is therefore crucial for making our use of electronic
goods more sustainable.
However, the gold produced from this process is part of a molecular compound and so
cannot be re-used again for electronics without investing a lot more energy to obtain the gold.

A Soft Robot Able to Detect Damage and Heal Itself
Cornell University engineers have created a soft robot capable of detecting when and
where it was damaged and then healing itself on the spot. According to Rob Shepherd,
Associate Professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, their lab is always trying to
make robots more enduring and agile, so they operate longer with more capabilities.
The first step for such repair to occur is that the robot must be able to identify that
there is something that needs to be fixed. The engineers have used stretchable fiber-optic
sensors to make soft robots and related components from skin to wearable technology as
nimble and practical as possible.
In fiber-optic sensors, light from a LED is sent through an optical waveguide, and a
photodiode detects changes in the beam’s intensity to determine when the material is being
deformed. The researchers combined the sensors with a polyurethane urea elastomer that
incorporated hydrogen bonds, for rapid healing, and disulfide exchanges, for strength.
Researchers installed SHeaLDS, Self Healing Light Guides for Dynamic Sensing, in a soft robot
resembling a four-legged starfish and equipped with feedback control. After the researchers punctured one of its
legs, the robot was able to detect the damage and self-heal the cuts.

New Material Discovered that Helps Diabetic Wounds Heal Quickly
Scientists have discovered a new material that can be applied to diabetic wounds to
heal them faster with just one application.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham
have discovered a new class of polymer that can provide instructions to both immune and
non-immune cells to aid healing in hard-to-treat diabetic wounds.
Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves various cell types
working together, with a cell type called fibroblasts playing a critical role in forming new
tissue required for healing. Diabetes can disrupt these processes in cells making wound
healing slow and difficult to treat. This can lead to infection and in extreme cases the need for
amputation.
Experts from the School of Life Sciences and Pharmacy screened 315 different
polymer surfaces, examining the different chemical make-up of each until they identified a
polymer type that actively drives fibroblasts and immune cells to promote healing. A team
from the Faculty of Engineering made small particles that are decorated with this polymer on
their surface. These particles could be directly applied to the wound area. This new polymer
could be applied as a coating to standard wound dressings to provide a fast and effective
treatment.

A Shield for 2D Materials that Reduces Vibration Problems
Ultra-thin, liquid-metal-printed oxide can improve performance of your transistor by
suppressing vibrational resistance. Monash University researchers have demonstrated a new,
counterintuitive way to protect atomically thin electronics by adding vibrations to reduce
vibrations. By ‘squeezing’ a thin droplet of liquid gallium, graphene devices are painted with
a protective coating of glass, gallium oxide.
The oxide so formed is thin, less than 100 atoms covering centimeter wide scale and
making it potentially applicable for industrial large scale fabrication. At present, frontier
“2nm” transistors from IBM use gates of similar thickness, close to 10nm (140 atoms).
According to Mathew Gebert, the lead author, “Mechanically transferring such large-
area nanosheets is quite novel”. The oxide not only enhances and protects the devices when it
was first transferred, but also later, during subsequent processing and fabrication.
Protective gallium-oxide also yields a surprising result, reducing the electrical
resistance in graphene that is caused by thermal vibrations due to heat in the surrounding
materials.
The Monash team from the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy
Electronics Technologies (FLEET) used a novel liquid-metal printing technique to create
gallium-oxide (Ga2O3) glass. This method was designed by FLEET collaborators at RMIT,
who have used the novel glass in a variety of electronics applications.

Wearable Skin Patch to Monitor Hemoglobin in Deep Tissues
A wearable skin comprising of photoacoustic sensor can help clinicians to diagnose
tumors, organ malfunction and more. A team of engineers at the University of California, San
Diego developed an electronic patch that can monitor biomolecules in deep tissues, including
hemoglobin. This gives medical professionals unusual access to crucial information that
could help spot life-threatening conditions including malignant tumors, organ dysfunction,
cerebral or gut hemorrhages etc.
The new sensor overcomes some significant limitations in existing methods of
monitoring biomolecules. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray-computed
tomography rely on bulky equipment that can be hard to procure and usually only provide
information on the immediate status of the molecule, which makes them unsuitable for long-
term biomolecule monitoring. The patch is equipped with arrays of laser diodes and
piezoelectric transducers in its soft silicone polymer matrix. Laser diodes emit pulsed lasers
into the tissues. Biomolecules in the tissue absorb the optical energy, and radiate acoustic
waves into surrounding media. Piezoelectric transducers receive the acoustic waves, which
are processed in an electrical system to reconstruct the spatial mapping of the wave-emitting
biomolecules. With its low-power laser pulses, it is also much safer than X-ray techniques
that have ionizing radiation.
Based on its success so far, the team plans to further develop the device, including
shrinking the backend controlling system to a portable-sized device for laser diode driving
and data acquisition, greatly expanding its flexibility and potential clinical utility.

A New Self-Powered Ingestible Sensor Opens New Avenues for Gut Research
Engineering researchers have developed a battery-free, pill-shaped ingestible
biosensing system designed to provide continuous monitoring in the intestinal environment. It
gives scientists the ability to monitor gut metabolites in real time, which wasn’t possible
before. This feat of technological integration could unlock new understanding of intestinal
metabolite composition, which significantly impacts human health overall.
The ingestible, biofuel-driven sensor facilitates in-situ access to the small intestine,
making glucose monitoring easier while generating continuous results. These measurements
provide a critical component of tracking overall gastrointestinal health, a major factor in
studying nutrition, diagnosing and treating various diseases, preventing obesity, and more.
In the experiments, the battery-free biosensor technology continuously monitored
glucose levels in the small intestines of pigs 14 hours after ingestion, yielding measurements
every five seconds for two to five hours. The next step is to reduce the size of the pills from
the current 2.6 cm in length so they will be easier for human subjects to swallow.
This “Smart Pill” instead of a battery, is powered by a non-toxic fuel cell that runs on glucose.
This biosensor provides access to continuous data readings over time. The platform
could also be used to develop new ways to study the microbiome of the small intestine. The
unique battery-free operation is made possible by the team's glucose biofuel cell (BFC) for
obtaining power during operation while simultaneously measuring changing glucose
concentrations.

Magnetic Material Mops up Microplastics in Water
Researchers at RMIT University have found an innovative way to rapidly remove
hazardous microplastics from water using magnets. Existing methods could take days to
remove microplastics from water, while the cheap and sustainable invention achieves better
results in just one hour. The team of researchers says they have developed adsorbents, in the
form of a powder, that remove microplastics 1,000 times smaller than those currently
detectable by existing wastewater treatment plants.
The researchers have successfully tested the adsorbents in the lab, and they plan to
engage with industry to further develop the innovation to remove microplastics from
waterways.
The researchers have developed an adsorbent through nanomaterials that can be
mixed into water to attract microplastics and dissolved pollutants. The nanomaterials
contained iron which enabled the team to use magnets to easily separate the microplastics and
pollutants from the water.
The adsorbent is prepared with special surface properties so that it can effectively and
simultaneously remove both microplastics and dissolved pollutants from water.

Converting Waste Paper into Battery Parts for Smartphones and Electric
Vehicles
Scientists from NTU Singapore have developed a technique to convert waste paper,
from single-use packaging and bags, and cardboard boxes, into a crucial component of
lithium-ion batteries.
Through a process called carbonisation which converts paper into pure carbon, the
NTU researchers turned the paper’s fibers into electrodes, which can be made into
rechargeable batteries that power mobile phones, medical equipment, and electric vehicles.
To carbonize the paper, the team exposed the paper to high temperatures, which reduces it to
pure carbon, water vapor and oils that can be used for biofuel. As carbonization takes place in
the absence of oxygen, this emits negligible amounts of carbon dioxide, and the process is a
greener alternative to disposing of kraft paper through incineration, producing large amounts
of greenhouse gasses. The carbon anodes produced by the research team also demonstrated
superior durability, flexibility, and electrochemical properties. Laboratory tests showed that
the anodes could be charged and discharged up to 1,200 times, which is at least twice as
durable as anodes in current phone batteries.
The batteries that use the NTU-made anodes could also withstand more physical
stress than their counterparts, absorbing crushing energy up to five times better.

Development of Next Generation Microscopes
A completely new type of microscope can take 3D images of cells while working in a
natural environment. The new technology is significantly faster and better than before and
will give researchers new opportunities.
Researchers from UiT, The Arctic University of Norway and the University Hospital
of North Norway (UNN) have developed a next generation microscope. With this new
technology the researchers can take pictures of much larger samples than before. The new
technology provides 3D images with the smallest details from several angles maintaining
clarity and visibility, sorted into different layers under focus.
Although, 3D microscopes already exist but they work slow and give poor results.
The most common type of 3D microscopes works by recording pixel after pixel in series
which are then assembled into a 3D image. This takes time and often they can't handle more
than 1-5 shots a minute.
The prototype of the microscope works properly and is operational. The researchers
are working to create an upgraded version that is easier to use, so that more people are able to
operate and use the advanced microscope. In the meantime, the prototype will be made
available to local partners who can benefit from the new technology.
The new microscope is a multi-focus microscope, which provides completely clear images that are sorted into
different layers, where you can study the cells from all angles in 3D.

Antibiotics that Target multiple Drug Resistant Bacteria
Researchers have designed and synthesized analogs of a new antibiotic that is
effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria, opening a new front in the fight against these
infections.
Antibiotics are vital drugs in the treatment of a number of bacterial diseases.
However, due to continuing overuse and misuse, the number of bacteria strains that are
resistant to multiple antibiotics is increasing, affecting millions of people worldwide. The
development of new antibacterial compounds that target multiple drug resistant bacteria is
also an active field of research so that this growing issue can be controlled.
A team led by Professor Satoshi Ichikawa at Hokkaido University has been working
on the development of new antibacterials. The team worked on a class of antibacterial
compounds called sphaerimicins. These compounds block the function of a protein in the
bacteria called MraY. MraY is essential for the replication of bacteria and plays a role in the
synthesis of the bacterial cell wall; it is also not a target of currently available commercial
antibiotics.
The researchers set out to design analogs to this molecule that would be easier to
manufacture while also becoming more effective against MraY, thus increasing its
antibacterial activity. The drug we designed was effective against methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), two
of the more common multi-drug resistant bacteria.
