Transparent Solar Cells to Generate 1000x More Energy
Solar energy is essential for sustainability, but traditional panels face limitations in size,
rigidity, and opacity, restricting their use to rooftops or fields. Recent innovations in transparent
solar cells (TSCs), particularly near-invisible solar cells
(NISCs), offer new possibilities, enabling energy harvesting
from surfaces like windows, vehicles, and even human skin.
These cells maintain over 70% transparency while efficiently
generating power. The breakthrough comes from using two-
dimensional materials, such as tungsten disulfide (WS₂),
known for their light absorption and tunable properties. By
optimizing the interaction between WS₂ and Indium tin oxide
(ITO), researchers achieved power conversion efficiency over 1,000 times higher than
traditional devices. These advancements are pushing the boundaries of solar technology,
offering the potential for integration into everyday structures and consumer electronics,
marking a shift toward a more sustainable future.
Wave-Based Food Processing to Replace Traditional Methods
Microwave-based vertical cooking vessels, often used for heating products, offer a more

a waveguide and into the cooking chamber, which can be
extended to heat products in larger, cylindrical vessels. This
technology eliminates the need for heating tank walls, reducing
costs associated with jacketed vessels and simplifying the
process by removing components like steam boilers and
gearboxes. A pump circulates the product, and a temperature
sensor ensures precise temperature control. For example, by
applying a set power input, microwaves directly heat the product,
maintaining the desired temperature with minimal energy use. This method offers significant
advantages over traditional heating, including reduced energy consumption, lower equipment

Chinese Scientists Are Working Quickly to Develop Climate-Resistant Potatoes
China, the world's largest potato producer, relies on the crop for global food security due to its
high yield. However, potatoes are vulnerable to heat, and climate change is worsening this risk
by increasing temperatures and causing more extreme weather
events like droughts and floods. A three-year study is examining
the impact of higher temperatures on potatoes, focusing on
China's most common varieties. The research found that
temperatures just 3°C higher than current averages accelerated
tuber growth but cut yields by over 50%. With global temperatures
expected to rise by up to 3.1°C by 2100, efforts to protect potato
production are critical. Companies like Yakeshi Senfeng are
investing in advanced systems like aeroponics to grow potatoes in
controlled environments, while farmers are seeking higher-yielding and disease-resistant
varieties, especially those resistant to late blight, which thrives in warmer, humid conditions.
costs, and simplified operation. As a result, wave-based cooking holds potential for improving

bioprinting technique using spheroids cell clusters to create complex
tissues. This method is 10 times faster than current techniques, improving
precision and scalability while supporting tissue and organ development in
regenerative medicine. This technology marks a major step forward in
rapid bioprinting, enabling high-throughput tissue fabrication with improved
cell viability. Bioprinting involves layering living cells in a substrate to create
3D tissues, similar to constructing a wall with cells as bricks and bioink as
mortar.

Previously Unknown Compound Identified in Water
A new chemical compound, never identified before, was recently recognized in a recently
published study. Despite being aware of the compound for decades, researchers struggled to
detect it. The breakthrough came when the compound was successfully
synthesized in a laboratory, a first for the scientific community. The
compound was analyzed using samples from regions with
chloraminated drinking water, while Switzerland, where chloramination
is not used, served as a control. This discovery raises concerns about
its potential health risks, as it had not been included in previous toxicity
studies. The research is an important step in understanding the
chemicals that may contribute to chronic toxicity in drinking water, which has been linked to
long-term health issues like cancer. Future studies will assess the compound's potential risks
and provide insights into controlling harmful substances in water systems.
Developing Sustainable Paper-Aluminum Packaging for Takeout Containers
Takeout containers made from foil-lined plastics are difficult to recycle. Research in ACS
Omega suggests replacing plastic with paper could create a more sustainable option.
Researchers designed paper-aluminum laminates and tested their strength
compared to polyethylene-aluminum packaging. The team created two
types of paper-aluminum laminates: machine-direction (MD) and cross-
direction (CD), each with differently oriented fibers. Tensile strength tests
showed that while polyethylene-aluminum could stretch further without
breaking, the MD laminate was more flexible but cracked along the grain.
Simulations combining MD and CD fibers predicted similar strength to
polyethylene-aluminum laminates. Although the hybrid laminate hasn't
been created yet, the study offers valuable insights for engineers looking to
develop eco-friendly materials that maintain the performance of
conventional packaging.
Japanese firm ispace aims to conduct helium-3 mining missions on the Moon

Japan Made World's First Wooden Satellite Heads to Space
The world's first wooden satellite was launched on Tuesday as part of a test for using wood in
lunar and Mars exploration. Developed by Kyoto University and Sumitomo Forestry, the
satellite will be transported to the International Space Station (ISS) via
SpaceX before being released into orbit, 400 kilometers above Earth.
The satellite aims to demonstrate the potential of timber for space use.
With a 50-year plan to plant trees and build wooden homes on the Moon
and Mars, researchers developed a NASA-certified wooden satellite to
prove wood can be a space-grade material. According to the lead
scientists and professor at Kyoto University, early 1900s airplanes were
made of wood; therefore, a wooden satellite should work too. Wood's
durability in space is due to the lack of water and oxygen, which would
cause decay or fire on Earth. Additionally, a wooden satellite minimizes environmental impact
at the end of its life.
