A team of researchers has unveiled a cutting-edge Amphibious Robotic Dog capable of roving across both land and water with remarkable efficiency. The study, published in IOP Publishing’s Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, was inspired by mammals’ ability to move through water as well as on land. Existing amphibious robots are largely inspired by reptiles or insects, […]| IOP Publishing
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur have developed a new low-cost mobile tool to detect arsenic contamination in water sources, addressing a critical threat to human health and the environment. Published in IOP Publishing’s academic journal Nanotechnology the new tool offers a low-cost, onsite solution for monitoring water quality, especially useful in […]| IOP Publishing
A new lifecycle study published in IOP Publishing’s journal Sustainability Science and Technology has discovered a promising alternative to plastic sanitary products, potentially leading to far reduced sanitary waste. Sanitary pads made with cornstarch are 17 times more environmentally friendly compared to plastic equivalents. The high concentration of plastic in disposable products is a direct […]| IOP Publishing
Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy, according to a new study published in the academic journal Environmental Research Communications. While the land requirements of renewable energy projects are often criticized in public debates, this study highlights a striking contrast: vast areas are allocated to golf courses, […]| IOP Publishing
