Scientists May Have Developed A Device That Enables “Communication” With Plant Via Electrical Signals. The Device Was Successfully Tested On Venus Flytrap. The Device Could Advance Plant-Based Technologies. E.g., Plant-Based Robots That Can Help Pick-up Fragile Objects, Or Help Improve Food Security By Detecting Diseases In Crops Early.

Researchers Were Able To Grow, In The Lab, A Small Wood-Like Rigid Structure In The Shape Of A Gel Matrix. This Achievement, Though Done On A Small Scale, Has Many Implications For The Forestry, Construction, And Agriculture Sectors. But First, It Needs To Be Commercially Scalable And Practical To, E.G., Grow Furniture Like Tables.

Researchers, By Using Commonplace Materials Like Citric Acid, Hydrogen, And Catalysts, Developed An Uncomplicated Method For Turning CO₂ Into A Possible Zero Emission Liquid Fuel, Capable Of Powering Jet Aircraft. The Technique, Though Relatively Cheaper Than Processes Used To Turn Hydrogen And Water Into Fuel, May Be Difficult To Scale.

Researchers May Have Developed A Device That Is Capable of Converting Water, Sunlight, And Carbon dioxide Into Clean Energy, Just Like Plants Do. The Scalable Device, In Other Words, May Be A Major Step Towards Artificial Photosynthesis. Researchers Also Hope To Use The Device To Cleanly Produce Easily Stored And Transportable Liquid Fuel.

Costa Rica, Btw 1970s And 1980s, Had One Of The Highest Deforestation Rates In Latin America Due To Agriculture. But Now, Costa Rica Is The First Tropical Country To Have Stopped And Reversed Deforestation. And The Forests Have Been A Source Of Ecotourism, Guiding Biologists And Ecologists Around For A Fee. The World Could Learn From This.

Researchers, Based On The Best-Preserved Dinosaur Stomach Ever Found To Date, Were Able To Determine The Dinosaur’s Actual Preserved Stomach Contents, Which Is Rare. The Dinosaur, A Nodosaur, Found In 2011, In Alberta, Canada, Became Mummified ~110 Myrs Ago After Enjoying One Last Meal Of Plants With Favoritism For Ferns.

The Fossil Of One Of The Last Flesh-Eating Dinosaurs, A Type Of Megaraptor, May Have Been Discovered By Paleontologist In Argentina. The 70 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Is Said To Be 10 Meters In Length. And The Most Prominent Thing About This Dinosaur Is That The Thumb Ends In A Claw, Which Is Approximately 40 Centimeters In Length.

This Could Be The Most Portable Four Wheel Drive Wheel Chair Ever Made, Built To Make Life Easier For Users And Caregivers. The Chair Gives A User More Mobility And Is Also Light Weight. The Chair Is Said To Enable A User To Stand In An Upright Position And Move Around In Rough Terrains. Cool!

Antarctica, ~90 Myrs Ago, During The Time Of Dinosaurs, Is Said To Be Warm And Had Ancient Dense Swapy Rainforest Full Of Diverse Animal And Plant Life Like Those In New Zealand Today. This Discovery Was Made When Fossils Of Well-Preserved Diverse Pollen And Other Plant Remains Were Found In Sediment Cores Collected In Pine Island Glacier.

Inspired By Photosynthesis In Plants, Scientists Have Created An Artificial Leaf That Can Inexpensively Convert Carbon Dioxide (CO2), A Primary Cause Of Global Warming, To Alternative Energy Called Methanol. This Innovation Could Help Fight Climate Change By Reducing CO2 Emission And Providing An Alternative To Fossil Fuel.

Cool Idea, From England, To Grow Chairs, Tables And Lamps Out Of Trees, In An Effort To Combat Deforestation And Encourage Sustainability. But The Downside To This Is The Relatively Long Time (6-10 Years To Process) And Expensive Cost Of The Entreprise: Chairs Sell For $12,480, Lamps For $1,120-2,870, And Tables For $3,120-15,600.

In A Bid To Combat The Effect Of Deforestation And Climate Change, Ethiopia Has Set A New Record, In 2019, For Planting The Most Trees In A Day. More Than 350 Million Trees Were Planted As Against The Previous Record, In 2016, Of 50 Million Trees Planted In A Day In India.

Ethiopia plants more than 350 million tree seedlings in o…

The World’s First Biosolar Leaf System Technology Has Been Developed. The Technology, With A Surface Area Of A Tree, Cultivates Minute Plant Life. The Biosolar Leaf Can Remove The Same Amount Of Carbon Dioxide From The Atmosphere like 100 Trees. The Technology Also Discharges Oxygen More Efficiently, Than Trees, Into Atmosphere. Cool!
