Flat sheets of fresh and dried pasta that morph into tubes or spirals when cooked have been created by researchers in the US and China. The team hopes that the invention could reduce both the amount of packaging needed for pasta and the carbon emissions associated with cooking and transporting it. Pasta shapes such as penne (tubes) or fusilli (spirals) contain a lot of air.

Why are the United Nations advocating for citizen science and technology? Using an Australian case study, let’s see how drones and local communities may be the answer to large scale and ongoing ecological monitoring. In the past, research in inaccessible areas has been limited to either small samples sizes, due to high costs and safety issues, or lower resolution data from satellites.

Polyethylene is one of the most common plastics in the world, but it is seldom found in clothing because it cannot absorb or carry away water. (Imagine wearing a plastic bag – you would feel very uncomfortable very quickly.) Now, however, researchers in the US have developed a new material spun from polyethylene that not only “breathes” better than cotton, nylon or polyester, but also has a smaller ecological footprint due to the ease with which it can be manufactured, dyed, cleaned and used.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

In recent years, there has been an increase in litigation relating to the unleased owner reporting requirements contained in La. R.S. 30:103.1 and the penalty imposed in La. R.S. 30:103.2. There are few cases interpreting these statutes. However, the existing authority recognizes that even if an operator fails to comply with such reporting requirements, an unleased owner must provide sufficient notice under La.

Cancer therapies successfully enable the excision of tumours or destruction of cancer cells. However, the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which can reproduce themselves and initiate tumour progression, may lead to cancer recurrence and resistance to chemotherapies and radiotherapy. Identifying and enriching CSCs for active targeting by anti-cancer drugs could enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments.

What are the main materials used as platforms for quantum technologies? In terms of building quantum computers (which is perhaps the application that people think of most readily), superconducting materials are very important. Most of the work so far has been done using aluminium, because it’s easy to make into devices, and you can also get a nice oxide off it, which is required to make the Josephson junctions that turn a superconducting circuit into a qubit.

Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (DEJI) policies, programs, and initiatives are critically important as we move forward with public and private sector climate and sustainability goals and plans. Underserved and socially, economically, and racially disadvantaged communities bear the burden of pollution, higher energy costs, limited resources, and limited investments in the clean energy and transportation sectors.
