The depth of the facility now provides some much-needed insulation to help grow crops 52 weeks of the year
but it also provides the latest glimpse of how farming is moving into the 21st Century thanks to some pioneering high-tech agriculture ideas.

The initial feedstock flows meet in a honeycomb catalyst carrier that can be designed for the efficient operation of both modes and mixing states.
Metallic honeycombs are used already as catalytic convertors of exhaust gas in cars. They are characterized by a high thermal conductivity and mechanical robustness with a low pressure loss during alternating operation modes.
The honeycomb catalyst can be implemented easily in various plant sizes. In the future it might be possible to efficiently operate even smaller decentralized units e g. at rural biogas facilities.
Thanks to the newly developed honeycomb catalyst also smaller and medium-sized plants can be operated efficiently y

#New honeycomb-inspired design delivers superior protection from impact The technology could have major implications for the design
Conventional honeycomb structures are insular panels of repeating, often hexagonal-shaped cells in a range of sizes and configurations.
The shortcoming of conventional honeycombs is that they lose their full protective properties after only one impact due to plastic buckling of the material.
NS honeycombs, on the other hand, bounce back. The researchers devised a cell geometry capable of elastic buckling, giving NS honeycomb structures the resilience to recover their energy-absorbing shape and properties after impact.
The researchers manufactured 3. 5-inch NS honeycomb structures, as well as miniature NS honeycomb cells, from nylon using selective laser sintering for experimentation.
NS honeycombs can be made from a variety of materials to suit distinct applications. Subsequent custom compression and drop tests, designed
and fabricated at UT Austin, have confirmed the NS honeycomb structures'predicted energy-absorbing behavior and resilience.
That funding and additional collaboration with the Maritime Applied Physics Corporation, an engineering company that frequently partners with the U s. military, helped support the advancement of NS honeycomb technology.
The researchers are also building a lab prototype of an enhanced combat helmet with NS honeycomb cells integrated that will be completed this fall.
%The novel concept was tested successfully in experiments at the Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ.
including the sugar in maize and sugarcane. Fermentation turns the sugar into lactic acid, which in turn is a building block for polylactic acid.
the technology also has potential in applications that harvest the sun's energy with high efficiency. In addition, Yu envisions simply letting the resonator emit that energy in the form of infrared light toward the sky,
while perovskite cells harvest only the visible part of the solar spectrum where the photons have more energy.

In one case the scientists tested three different honeycomb structures made up of the same basic cell.
two of the three honeycomb structures moved preferentially in one direction but formed different new cell geometries in the process.

The nanogenerator harvests the wasted tire friction energy by relying on the triboelectric effect. It is the electric charge that results from the contact or rubbing together of two dissimilar objects.
The friction was strong enough for the electrodes to harvest enough energy to power the lights,
