and cost-effective system to transport fresh water by sea using flexible plastic containers water-bags towed by a tugboat.
or folding) during its sea voyage. A water quality sensor to assess water purity has been tested in a laboratory with the intention of being fitted to water-bags in the future to ensure safe and clean delivery after transit.
Langdon says it can be cultivated anywhere that there is"a modest amount of seawater and some sunshine."
and a deep-seabed-mining consultant. The venture could add#40#billion (US$60#billion) to the UK economy over the next 30#years,
Cameron s government sponsored Lockheed s claim to the 58,000-square-kilometre potential mining site through the company s subsidiary UK Seabed Resources in London.
The International Seabed Authority in Kingston Jamaica, which granted the exploration rights, has granted also claims in the region to several other countries,
Polymetallic nodules form over thousands of years on the sea floor, through processes that are still not fully understood;
and the founder of Seaminr, a seabed-mining consultancy in Urbanna, Virginia. PAUL JACKMAN/NATUREHARVESTING nodules is technically easier than mining the mineral-rich remnants of non-active hydrothermal vents on the sea floor,
a proposal that has garnered also attention (see Nature 447,246-247; 2007). ) Nodules rest unattached, and often visible, in seafloor sediments,
so obtaining them would not entail grinding up rocky seafloor crust. Lockheed has released not specific plans,
but the general scheme for harvesting uses a device that moves along the sea floor, vacuuming or raking up nodules.
The equipment would grind down the nodules to create a slurry that would be pumped to ships
and then transported onshore for processing (see Wealth from the sea). The most lucrative product would probably be nickel,
A study at a nodule plain off Peru found that seafloor communities showed limited recovery after disturbance
) Craig Smith, a deep-sea biologist at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, will lead an initial assessment of seafloor life for Lockheed s project, gathering baseline data for the potential harvest zone
cable can be deposited on the seafloor in straight lines, or in meandering, coiling patterns. f the boat is sailing slower than the rate of the cable,
as a ship sails, the height of the ocean floor relative to the surface is changing all the time,
a major greenhouse gas, is increasingly impacting oceans around the world, making waters more acidic and threatening sea life.
In a seawater solution the micromotors removed 88 percent of the carbon dioxide in the same timespan. n the future, we could potentially use these micromotors as part of a water treatment system,
The micromotors were just as effective in a sea water solution and removed 88 percent of the carbon dioxide in the same timeframe."
Crystal structures on the sea sapphire's back appear differently depending on the angle of reflection September 2nd, 2015using DNA origami to build nanodevices of the future September 1st,
Removing salt and other minerals from our biggest available source of water--seawater--may help satisfy a growing global population thirsty for fresh water for drinking, farming, transportation, heating, cooling and industry.
#This new technology converts sea water into drinking water in minutes Purifying dirty water is a notoriously difficult and expensive process-even in California, financial pressures affect
Developed by a team of researchers at Alexandria University in Egypt, the procedure uses a desalination technique called pervaporation to remove the salt from sea water
The technique not only desalinates the seawater, it's capable of removing sewage and dirt from it too.
#Engineers purify sea and wastewater in 2. 5 minutes The System PQUA, works with a mixture of dissociating elements,
Because the turbines sit horizontally beneath the surface of the sea they can be sited in water shallower than the 30-metre depth typically required by current designs.
Kepler says it will still undergo a rigorous environmental impact assessment during the planning process to ensure that it poses no significant risk to marine life and to other users of the sea.
Ingber is also the Judah Folkman Professor of Vascular Biology at Harvard Medical school and Boston Children's Hospital as well as professor of bioengineering at Harvard School of engineering and Applied sciences (SEAS.
The idea for the coating evolved from SLIPS a pioneering surface technology developed by coauthor Joanna Aizenberg Ph d. who is a Wyss Institute Core Faculty member and the Amy Smith Berylson Professor of Materials science at Harvard SEAS.
Reflecting the strong collaborative model of the Wyss Institute the cross-disciplinary team included researchers representing the Wyss Institute SEAS Harvard Medical school and Boston Children's Hospital
and Applied sciences (SEAS) and a co-lead author. Lewis is also a core faculty member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard.
In five transparent biospheres anchored to the bottom of the sea, strawberries, basil, beans, garlic and lettuce are being grown.
under the sea, inside biospheres 6 to 9 meters (20 to 30 ft) below the surface, just off the Ligurian tourist beaches of the town of Noli, near Savona.
the temperature is kept at a stable 25°C (77°F) by the sea, and the crops are well out of the reach of parasites.
The evaporating sea water condenses on the inner walls of the biosphere, creating a high-humidity environment (up to 85 percent) that favors crop growth.
The three (now five) underwater biospheres were anchored to the seafloor and filled with air. Then, shelves were installed
Four cameras will monitor the stretch of sea containing the garden and the inside of the biggest biosphere.
