Electricity-free air con: Thermoacoustic device turns waste heat into cold using no additional power
Beginning with the principles of the Stirling engine, SoundEnergy's THEAC thermal acoustic engine takes heat - either industrial waste heat or solar heat - and turns it into powerful cooling without requiring any other power source. This completely renewable technology could prove highly disruptive.

Exoskeletons in the workplace
Once again, technology is extending what the human body can do. There's plenty of engineering involved, optimized for business uses of physical augmentation: power boosts, kinetic energy storage, and "augmented joints" that can lock on demand and distribute static loads while the worker is in an awkward position. It’s business transformation with real transformers. @Enterprisenxt

A filter that turns saltwater into freshwater just got an upgrade
Smoothing out the rough patches of a material widely used to filter saltwater could make producing freshwater more affordable, researchers report in the Aug. 17 Science. Desalination plants around the world typically strain salt out of seawater by pumping it through films made of polyamide — a synthetic polymer riddled with tiny pores that allow water molecules to squeeze through, but not sodium ions. But organic matter, along with some other waterborne particles like calcium sulfate, can accumulate in the...

B.C. company says it is sucking carbon from air, making fuel
It sounds like spinning straw into gold: suck carbon dioxide from the air where it's contributing to climate change and turn it into fuel for cars, trucks and jets. A British Columbia company says in newly published research that it's doing just that — and for less than one-third the cost of other companies working on the same technology. "This isn't a PowerPoint presentation," said Steve Oldham of Carbon Engineering. "It's real."
