Germicidal UV lights could be producing indoor air pollutants, study finds
While useful for killing pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, the UV lights may cause unwanted chemical reactions and should be used with ventilation, researchers say.
For several years now, the biofuels that power cars, jet airplanes, ships and big trucks have come primarily from corn and other mass-produced farm crops. Researchers at USC, though, have looked to the ocean for what could be an even better biofuel crop: seaweed.
Scientists at the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies on Santa Catalina Island, working with private industry, report that a new aquaculture technique on the California coast dramatically increases kelp growth, yielding four times more biomass than natural processes. The technique employs a contraption called the "kelp elevator" that optimizes growth for the bronze-colored floating algae by raising and lowering it to different depths.

Google is showing a Doodle in some countries on July 22, 2022, to celebrate an original member of the Lwów School of Mathematics and founder of modern functional analysis —Stefan Banach. On this day in 1922, this influential 20th-century mathematician officially became a professor.

University of Michigan engineers create centimeter-sized robots capable of more than ever before.
Origami principles can unlock the potential of the smallest robots, enhancing speed, agility and control in machines no more than a centimeter in size.
University of Michigan researchers have demonstrated that behavioral rules underpinning the Japanese art of folding can expand the capabilities of these machines, creating potential for greater use in fields as diverse as medical equipment and infrastructure sensing.
Their bots can form one shape, complete a task, then reconfigure into a second shape for an additional task, and so on.
The latest research from the team appears in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
