Believe it or not, sea turtle eggs are a common object of poaching and trafficking — and a creative new invention aims to change that. The InvestEGGator is a 3D-printed decoy sea turtle egg that can catch poachers in the act using GPS technology. The team behind the InvestEGGator first came up with the invention several years ago, and they just […]

“Artificial Upwelling” To Save Coral Reefs
Coral bleaching occurs when corals are stressed by high water temperatures and other factors, causing them to expel the symbiotic algae living within them. Given that fact, scientists are now looking into saving reefs by pumping up cool water from the ocean’s depths. “Upwelling” happens naturally when winds push surface water away from coastal regions, allowing nutrient-rich water from below […]

RMIT New Cost Effective Carbon To Hydrogen Reactor
A team from Australia’s RMIT University says it’s figured out a cost-effective way to produce hydrogen using wastewater and sewage. The process not only produces clean H2 gas, it also captures all the carbon in human poop and puts it to valuable use. In doing so, it could not only generate clean power from a virtually limitless human waste resource, […]

Mealworms As A Protein Source?
A new study published in the Journal of Insects as Food and Feed has revealed that yellow mealworms can serve as an alternative protein source for animals and, possibly, humans. The study comes at a time when global food demands keep rising. Spontaneous population growth in developing countries has led to a shortage of protein sources, prompting researchers to look […]
