#Scientists Create LEDS From Food, Beverage Waste Most Christmas lights, DVD players, televisions and flashlights have one thing in common:
Two University of Utah researchers have now found a way to create LEDS from food and beverage waste.
and beverage waste that would otherwise decompose and be of no use, this development can also reduce potentially harmful waste from LEDS generally made from toxic elements.
the researchers used soft drinks and pieces of bread and tortilla. The food and beverage waste were placed each in a solvent and heated both directly and indirectly for anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.
After successfully finding traces of CDS from the synthesis, Sarswat and Free proceeded to illuminate the CDS to monitor their formation and color.
For example, sucrose and D-fructose dissolved in soft drinks were found to be the most effective sources for production of CDS.
and beverage waste would eliminate the need for concern over toxic waste, as the food and beverages themselves are not toxic.
Ds derived from food and beverage waste are not based on common toxic elements such as cadmium and selenium,
which makes their processing and disposal more environmentally friendly than it is for most other QDS.
the use of food and beverage waste as the starting material for QDS allows for reduced waste
and beverage waste that are already there, our starting material is much less expensive. In fact, it essentially free,
and beverage waste for stability and long term performance. he ultimate goal is to do this on a mass scale

#A Team Of MIT Bartender Robots Serves Beer More Efficiently Using robots, a team at MIT Computer science and Artificial intelligence Laboratory has solved an ancient problem:
needing another beer but not wanting to stand up and get it. Two small Turtlebots (which look like coolers on wheels) travel between a beer-providing PR2 robot bartender
and rooms of students at work, asking the students if they need a beer and then returning with a beverage
if one is ordered. Bartending is a good task to demonstrate machine teamwork: the waiterbots each check in with a room full of humans,
asking if there is a need they can meet. Then the machines roll back, picking up the supplies required from the coordinating robot in the middle.
and it easy to imagine the same robots that here dispense beer instead taking orders for water bottles and crackers at an emergency shelter.
