Flexible spheres of the biomolecule chitosan, made from shrimp waste, can be used for catalysts that generate hydrogen gas from borohydride salts. In a paper in Green Chemistry, a research team at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) shows how the spheres can "breathe out" hydrogen bubbles without breaking. This is an important step towards practical and safe hydrogen storage and release units.

The DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft impact on asteroid Dimorphos happened on September 26, 2022. Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope continue following the aftermath of the cosmic collision. A surprise is the discovery of several dozen boulders lifted off the asteroid after the smashup. In Hubble pictures they look like a swarm of bees very slowly moving away from the asteroid. This might mean that smacking an Earth-approaching asteroid might result in a cluster of threatening boulders heading in our direction.

A new tool uses facial recognition technology to identify individual whales and dolphins in the wild across 24 species. The research was led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) Ph.D. student Philip Patton and published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution.

Yeast has been used for thousands of years in the production of beer and wine and for adding fluff and flavor to bread. They are nature's tiny factories that can feed on sugars found in fruit and grains and other nutrients—and from that menu produce alcohol for beverages, and carbon dioxide to make bread rise.

The global industrial sensors market size reached USD 22.98 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. Increasing demand for Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices is driving market revenue growth.

Input devices that are interlinked to systems and measure changes in required equipment are known as industrial sensors. Industrial plants use a variety of sensors, each with its own unique design and capability. For example, temperature sensor is a device that collects thermal information from a resource and converts it into a format that another device can understand. These sensors, in conjunction with a monitoring relay, are commonly used in windings of industrial electric motors to protect against overheating and to prevent insulation damage. This monitoring can also be linked to a wireless sensor network, allowing for real-time adjustments and disaster prevention measures to be implemented in the event of a disaster.
