#Sand used in #construction is typically dredged from rivers, causing environmental damage. To try to reduce the need for sand, researchers are turning to technology and innovation in the hunt for alternatives. #sustainablebuilding #plastics bbc.com/news/business-…

Getting flavouring from #plastics? Scientists showed how genetically engineered bacteria can be used to #upcycle PET plastic waste into a valuable chemical like vanillin - something that could make the #recycling process more attractive and effective. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

University of Queensland #researchers have created a #quantum #microscope revealing biological structures that would otherwise be impossible to see. Apart from biotechnologies and medical imaging, which other areas could benefit from its application? nature.com/articles/s4158…

Could a jacket or a pair of jeans one day power your mobile phone and other electronic devices? A team of #researchers are looking into new ways to harvest the kinetic #sustainable #energy generated in #clothing through state-of-the-art #nanotechnology. phys.org/news/2021-05-s…

#concrete accounts for about 8% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit into the atmosphere. Some companies are developing concrete that has a much lower CO2 impact. bbc.com/news/business-…

Is the "infinitely recyclable" PDK plastic really going to become a game changer? #plasticpollution #circulareconomy scitechdaily.com/revolutionary-…

As the #plastic #recycling industry is severely under-performing, researchers have been working on new solutions. One developed at the University of Delaware is to reuse one of the most common types of plastic – polyolefin – by turning it into #fuel. sciencealert.com/scientists-cre…

#AI systems and their potential applications in the #EU are going to be categorised by risk - from unacceptable to minimal risk - to make sure that they are safe, transparent, ethical, unbiased and under human control. #TrustworthyAI #innovation audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/video/I-204…

Why light recipes could be the next great revolution in agriculture: "Farmers need a diverse set of tools now to increase yields. This clean alternative could help reduce the need for agricultural chemicals”- @BioLumic #sustainable #agriculture theguardian.com/environment/20…

Can innovative materials such as surgical glue be inspired by nature? Marleen Kamperman explains how in another episode of the Eye-openers, a stage for talented #scientists based in the Netherlands to show key concepts of their #research. @KNCVchemie vimeo.com/493658070?ref=…

📆Save the date for the official launch of the @EUeic under #HorizonEU! ⭕18 & 19 March 2021 The @EUeic will be fully-fledged under #HorizonEU with a budget of over €10 billion to support the best 🇪🇺 #innovators & #entrepreneurs. 👉europa.eu/!Jn43pH

Can redox-flow batteries become a more efficient option for large-scale energy storage? Researchers at @TUeindhoven are working on optimizing durability and scaling up the process. #energytransition #renewables #batteries

While mechanical recycling is still hampered by deterioration of materials performance, chemical recycling offers an alternative that retains high-performance properties. #plasticpollution #polymers #research #innovation #circulareconomy

Some of the innovations promising to remove microplastics from water more efficiently: fluid magnetic mixtures, bottom feeders as 'vacuum cleaners', static-charged screens and plant-based nets. #plasticpollution #research theguardian.com/environment/20…

The modular and easily-retrofittable system is comprised of a world leading AI computer vision system, capable of detecting all items on waste streams, and a high performing robotic picker, to sort waste. @EITRawMaterials #RMAccelerator programme - #Recycle
