Guaranteed $20K income for all Canadians endorsed by academics
A group of academics and activists is trying to drum up interest in an ambitious plan to provide every Canadian with a guaranteed minimum level of income — whether or not they have a job. Rob Rainer, a campaign director for the Basic Income Canada Network, envisions a country where everyone is assured a minimum... Continue Reading →
New metamaterial gives light a one-way ticket
The light-warping structures known as metamaterials have a new trick in their ever-expanding repertoire. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a silver, glass and chromium nanostructure that can all but stop visible light cold in one direction while giving it a pass in the other. The device could someday... Continue Reading →

China’s pollution-cleaning towers will be the world’s tallest
The towers will be built in the city of Wuhan in China, with one slightly taller than the other. With a planned height of almost a kilometre, the tallest of the pair will edge out the Burj Khalifa in Dubai as the tallest building in the world. They’ll also be two of the most environmentally...

Solar panels light the way from carbon dioxide to fuel
search to curb global warming caused by rising levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, usually involves three areas: Developing alternative energy sources, capturing and storing greenhouse gases, and repurposing excess greenhouse gases. Drawing on two of these approaches, researchers in the laboratory of Andrew Bocarsly, a Princeton professor of chemistry, collaborated with... Continue Reading →
This Amazing Eco-High-Tech Concept Envisions Eco-Friendly, Energy-Producing Eco-District Community
Stepping out of your plus-energy house regulating the light and the temperature cleverly and automatically according to the sun’s path. Catch the vital energies of the nature by training ourselves Tai Chi Chuan or Qi Gong under a snow of cherry tree petals. Cultivate together with our neighbors the community vegetable garden. Harvest the organic... Continue Reading →
These circuits can operate at frequencies up to 245 terahertz — tens of thousands times faster than today’s state-of-the-art microprocessors — with quantum plasmonic tunneling, designed and fabricated by researchers at National University of Singapore and Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). The new circuits can potentially be used to construct ultra-fast computers or... Continue Reading →
Researchers Develop Muscle Powered Biorobots
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skCzl7FlM34 Researchers from the University of Illinois have produced a new generation of muscle-powered biological robots, or “bio-bots,” that can be stimulated to walk using electrical impulses. These robots not only represent a significant advancement in the field of soft biorobotics, but they may also eventually have uses in a variety of applications including drug... Continue Reading →
A new invention that is already being tested in some desert areas is able to extract clean drinking water from the air using a wind turbine. A company called Eole Water has implemented this wonderful invention in areas of the Abu Dhabi desert. Tests on a ground-mounted prototype of the water making system has shown... Continue Reading →
