Single-step chemical catalyst developed at U.S. Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNNL)streamlines the procedure of converting biologically derived ethanol into n-butene. The latter is further processed to produce diesel or jet fuel. The boiling point of n-butene is significantly lower than ethanol, thereby making it highly hazardous. Hence, its transportation requires exclusive pressure vessels. This project represents the advanced approach in providing additional product streams from n-butene.
Medical records play a crucial role in determining precise treatment methods for a person suffering from a specific disease. These records comprise basic information about a patient, his or her health history, and all the medically examined findings, which include treated as well as non-treated allergies. Sometimes, it is hard to search for a crucial medical report at the time of need. Hence, alternatives are always looked for.

The upgraded path planning algorithm for determining ideal paths not only finds routes three times faster but also takes less processing time. The technology allows robots to assess the terrains difficulty before determining a successful way forward, which may entail bracing against a wall with hands while stepping ahead.
The advanced algorithm developers employed machine learning to teach the robot different approaches to assist its locomotor apparatus in order to maintain balance and proce
Carbon dioxide (CO2) released through various processes such as respiration, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, and volcanic eruptions is either released into the atmosphere or dissolved into water. The dissolved CO2 then passes on to lakes rivers, groundwater, oceans, and glaciers. A team of scientists from the American Chemical Society has discovered a novel technology, termed nanojars, to capture and remove the dissolved CO2 from water bodies.
The researchers have been able to eradicat
The Massachusetts General Hospital recently published their research paper that quoted that cutting more than 20% of sugar from packaged food and around 40% of sugar from packaged beverages could prevent cases of cardiovascular disease events such as strokes, heart attacks, and cardiac arrests events. The team published actual set of numbers based on the consumption of these goods and quoted that total 2.48 million cardiovascular deaths, 49,000 cardiovascular deaths, 750,000 diabetes cases in
Lithium is in massive demand owing to its extensive usage in smartphones, laptops, or electric vehicles. Although the availability of lithium across the world is sufficient, the existing approaches to extract the element are complicated and inefficient.
To power electronic goods, automobiles, and a wide range of other devices, an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers developed an approach to extract lithium from polluted water. The research has been published in the peer-reviewe
The agriculture sector has been utilizing a significant amount of energy to meet the burgeoning demand for food due to the rising population. The current sources and reservoirs of energy are inadequate to fulfill the requirement as the accessible energy in multifarious forms is nearing depletion. Therefore, along with other aspects for development in the field of agriculture, scientists and researchers are focusing on discovering the agricultural equipment being operated by consuming other ene
The University of California Los Angeles researchers have recently uncovered some exciting and titillating research that aims at answering question about interspace travel. The team behind the study explored the possibility of establishing a living outpost on Mars by quoting that if a human space mission is made viable and functional over the next four years an international collaborative effort can support the team and make the current format of research study doable. The team notes that huma
The latest collaborative effort between the Mount Sinai Hospital and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has been uncovered in the study that points the internal state of the body can beef fected due to some altered conditions when the heart beats at a pace normal than its regular pace. The team quotes that the brain is the organ which is most vividly affected during the fast paced heart activity. The team noted that they based their current format of study from previously collected formats of
Scientists from the University of Otago haverecently uncovered research that indicates battery operated economies are generally a game changer as decarbonization of the current set of economies would prevail. The team notes that their findings show that these benefits are far greater when compared to a detailed and analytical manner from a point by point viewership. The team notes that battery technology has seen incredible cost effective benefits by rapid development procedures for household
