  Japanese Scientists Work on a Flexible Battery
...y these thin batteries have a high level of charging and discharging. According to Dr. Nishide the high charge and discharge capacity of their development is one of many advantages it has over other organic materials, as the power of the organic materials is limited to the amount of charge they get. Dr. Nishide also mentioned that it took only one minute to charge a pfilm polymer battery and that it's life cycle could be...

  New chocolate can save the planet
...ion of raw chocolate are cooperating with South American companies. One of the forefront raw communities is called Shazzie and it deals with EcoAndino farmers, who take part in Fair Trade Federation. Organic Farmers & Growers Association also support raw chocolate companies in their beginnings. Now chocolate business may take a radically new turn and probably warm up our souls, not earth!

  New Electronic Display to Be Used on Clothes and Beer Cans
...nd design clothes. The device represents a thin film of plastic able to conduct electricity and create solar power. Scientists working on the international project are looking forward to bring the organic light emitting devices to the masses. Thus the invention could significantly cut costs by billions of dollars each year. Due to the fact that the organic light emitting devices are very thin and flexible, electroni...

  Nano-nose to help identify illnesses
...e 'nano nose' uses a system of six receptors, each one consisting of a solution with gold nano particles not larger than 2 nanometers, each one having a different coating too. Nitrogen atoms form the organic molecules which make up the coating of the nanoparticles. Different types of proteins have different features, thus having a property to attach to various receptors, though binding with some receptors more than wit...

  Plastic Blood and Airplanes Shifting Shapes – Close to Reality?
...d by the Worldwatch Institute, an agency engaged in an environmental research, only in the U.S. about 100 billion plastic bags are annually discarded. Although plastic initially replaced expensive organic materials, bioplastic produced from plants will probably replace materials dangerous for the environment. There already exists the Toyota Motor's I-unit, an electric car almost fully produced from material derived fro...

  NASA Buys Russian Hi-tech Toilet That Turns Urine Into Drinking Water
...quires much more for such a long period they spend in space. The filtering system that was introduced into space toilets processes urine into drinking water removing non-water molecules, including organic urine waste, through a variety of filtering layers. Filtered mass is then separated from the water and brought back to Earth. Specialists claim the new system is very effective and tried to provide astronauts with wat...

  Norwegian prison goes green
...n recognition by environmental groups. The prison has solar powered panels that were installed with the help of the inmates themselves. They use wood-waste for heating and eat food that is absolutely organic. The prison has its own garden where inmates grow vegetables, grains and berries that are pesticides free. No food is unused - if something is left -it is sent to other prisons. Besides the organic food, priso...

  NASA's Phoenix Finds Ice on Mars
... take a lot of efforts to dig into the ice, as it was unknown how deep underground it might be. Phoenix mission that cost $420 million was planned in hopes to find the evidence of past water and organic compounds essential for life. The spacecraft landed in the Martian arctic plains on May 25 and the mission will last around three months. The Phoenix Mars Lander's 8-foot-long robotic arm is used to dig the ground...

  Scientists to Develop World's Smallest High Performance Sensor
...sor and his team will create a single-electron transistor, which will include a unique suspended silicon nanobridge. The work of the nanobridge will resemble the work of a very sensitive detector for organic and chemical molecules. "This is the first time that anyone has combined these two nanotechnologies to develop a smart sensor. The traditional CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) approach has many limita...
