Driverless cars in our lifetime? Don’t hold your breath
Take a second and Google the cities with the worst traffic. Search for images of typical traffic jams in cities from New York to Rio de Janeiro, or from Istanbul to Manila. Notice how taxis and public-transportation vehicles play a big role in those traffic snarls? There’s a lot of yellow in that New York...
From plant to sustainable plastic
A research team working under the US Department of Energy’s Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation has developed a new way to turn plants into plastic. The scientists converted plant sugars to furfural, a compound common in bran. Then they converted furfural into something called tetrahydrofuran, also called oxolane, which is a precursor of plastics. Finally,...
A cure for AIDS?
Genetic engineering may hold the key to curing AIDS. Once inside the body, the often-lethal HIV virus that causes AIDS is hard to stamp out, partly because the virus incorporates itself into the genes of normal cells. That makes it hard to target with conventional drugs. Now a research team at Temple University has engineered...
A 3D snapshot of inner you
One barrier to printing or culturing replacement organs has been the difficulty of getting them to grow blood vessels needed to keep them alive once implanted into a body. Now, nanoengineers at the University of California at San Diego have solved the problem. Until now, the process of nurturing living blood vessels has been slow....

Europe’s “water pipeline” drying up
A study commissioned by the European Union finds a growing chance that the EU’s food chain will be disrupted in coming decades by water shortages elsewhere in the world. Europe’s meat and dairy industries rely on soybeans grown in North and South America because there’s not enough pasture or farmland in Europe to support those...
Artificial Intelligence makes for smarter wastewater
As water becomes more precious, tech businesses are finding a lucrative new niche in smartening up wastewater treatment with artificial intelligence. Wastewater-treatment plants are studded with electronic sensors and controls; these usually work independently and require monitoring by humans. Now companies are applying AI to integrate and analyze the data from these various nodes to...
Your boss is watching! The chip-in-hand trend
If your boss offered to implant a chip in your hand to replace that clumsy ID badge dangling around your neck on a cord, would you do it? Employees of the Swedish company Epicenter are offered the option of the implant to replace key fobs and other security devices. The implant, the size of a...
Better artificial photosynthesis
At the University of Central Florida, researchers have found a way to re-create photosynthesis, the basic process of plant life, in a synthetic material. The group built a photoreactor, a structure in which light causes chemical reactions. Their reactor was a framework of titanium – a common, nontoxic metal – infused with organic molecules that...
