An international team of scientists
have accidentally enhanced a plastic eating enzyme in a discovery that could
change our relationship with plastic forever. The breakthrough, if scaled up,
could lead to plastic being broken down into its original components and formed
into plastic items again, removing the need for making more of the material.
With over 1 million plastic bottles sold a minute and at the current rate
plastic set to outweigh fish in the oceans by 2050, plastic pollution is an
environmental menace that has been dubbed a 'planetary crisis' by the United
Nations. Despite the huge challenge, PROFESSOR JOHN MCGEEHAN who headed the
research believes the findings could turn the tide, "I think there's been
a huge amount of doom and gloom stories around plastics and justifiably because
it's a terrible environmental scourge. But this is a story where we've got some
hope that we can actually put together." The research was based on a 2016
discovery in a waste facility in Japan of a bacterium that had evolved to eat
plastic. During the teams attempt to understand the how the enzyme evolved they
made alterations which inadvertently led to the enzyme eating plastic 20%
faster than before. VICE News travels to the seaside city of Portsmouth in the
UK to meet the man behind the discovery and what it might mean for a world
being poisoned by plastic. Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News

The earliest time measurements were
observations of cycles of the natural world, using patterns of changes from day
to night and season to season to build calendars. More precise time-keeping
eventually came along to put time in more convenient boxes. But what exactly
are we measuring? Andrew Zimmerman Jones contemplates whether time is something
that physically exists or is just in our heads. Lesson by Andrew Zimmerman

#Forest #Organicfarming #Climateresilient In 1988, SABARMATEE AND HER FATHER
RADHAMOHAN bought an acre of degraded land in Nayagarh district of Odisha. They
wanted to set up an experiment to see if a forest using organic techniques.
Organic farming was not widespread in India at that time, therefore they had to
rely on trial and error. But over time their efforts succeeded and after nearly
three decades their one acre has grown to 90 acres and with a lush forest
cover. In 1989 the duo registered a NGO called Sambhav, which would work on
organic farming and ecological conservation. Within their forest is also a 2.5
acre plot which is used for seed preservation. Over the year they have managed
to collect, grow and preserve nearly 800 varieties of traditional seeds. More
than half of these seeds are of paddy that can grow under different climatic
systems and under different stress levels. Some of their seed can tolerate
water logging and heavy rain while the other varieties can tolerate drought.
There are also certain varieties that are highly nutritious. Sabarmatee's
efforts have built up an important repository of seeds that can help alleviate
the effects of climate change. When Odisha was hit by cyclonic storms in 2013
and 2014, 34 varieties of rice managed to withstand the damage.

your electric car could travel 1000 miles on a single charge, charge in 10
minutes, and last for 1 million miles? Today just about every electric car uses
lithium ion batteries. They’re pretty good, but ultimately are heavy and have
long charging times for the amount of energy they can store. According to Elon
Musk, battery modules are the main limiting factor in electric vehicle life. In
2019 he said the Tesla Model 3 drive unit is rated for 1 million miles, but the
battery isn’t as long lasting. To handle the predicted demand explosion for
electric vehicles over the coming decades, we’ll need to create a breakthrough
battery that is cheaper, longer lasting, more durable, and more efficient. We
must also address the issues of political and environmental sustainability to
ensure batteries remain tenable in an increasingly electric future. Over 80% of
world’s lithium deposits are found in China, and current technology also relies
heavily on cobalt, an element mostly found in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After Tesla’s recent battery day, where Elon Musk announced a larger, tabless
4680 battery cell with improved energy density, greater ease of manufacturing,
and lower cost. The world’s attention is now more focused on batteries than
ever before, but Tesla isn’t the only show in town. Lithium air batteries.
Metal air batteries have been around for a while. You might find a little zinc
air button cell in a hearing aid, for example, but scaled up aluminum and
lithium air chemistries are also promising for the automotive and aerospace
industries. The potential for lightweight batteries with high energy storage
makes this battery technology promising. Lithium air batteries could have a
maximum theoretical specific energy of 3,460 W h/kg , almost 10 times more than
lithium ion. NASA researchers have also been investigating lithium air
batteries for use in aircraft. This technology still has a long way to go before
your take your next business trip is in an electric plane. Nanotech Batteries.
Nanotechnology has been a buzzword for several decades, but is now finding
applications in everything from nanoelectronics to biomedical engineering, and
body armor to extra-slippery clothing irons. Nanomaterials make use of
particles and structures 1-100 nanometers in size, essentially one size up from
the molecular scale. Carbon nanostructures also show great promise. Graphene is
one of the most exciting of these. Amprius go one stage further with their
anodes of ‘100% silicon nanowire’. The maker claims that they can achieve 500
Wh/kg which is in the range suitable for enabling electric aircraft in
partnership with Airbus. Nanomaterial research is promising Lithium sulphur batteries
are one emerging technology that can offer greatly improved energy densities
compared to lithium-ion. The theoretical maximum specific energy of this
chemistry is 2,567 Wh/kg compared to lithium ion’s 350 Wh/kg maximum. Solid
state electrolytes. A common theme in emerging technologies so far has been
researchers’ desire to develop solid state electrolytes. These would replace
flammable organic liquids with stable, crystalline or glassy-state solids, or
polymer-base. It is hoped that using these solid electrolytes would enable the
use of metallic lithium electrodes to provide higher output voltages and allow
for increased energy density. Panasonic have also been looking into solid state
electrolytes. It is notable that Tesla have been partnered with Panasonic in
their existing lithium-ion manufacturing capacity, but it is Toyota who have
publicly announced their collaboration with Panasonic to develop next
generation solid state batteries. Samsung too are working on solid state
batteries. Dual carbon batteries. Two carbon electrodes and a non-toxic
electrolyte with the ability to extract more power than from conventional
lithium ion, and their ability to charge 20 times faster, and these lithium-ion
variants could be the future for electric vehicles. Better batteries are also
important for the advancement of stationary storage from renewable energy
sources such as solar power. Tesla is also making headway into this sector,
with products like the powerwall home battery, and powerpack commercial energy
storage products. The technologies discussed in this video could have huge
implications on different battery powered transportation options besides just
electric cars. Imagine the potential in everything from electric bikes to
electric scooters and electric boats to electric airplanes. Consumer
electronics also stand to experience vast improvements in battery life in
devices such as smart phones, laptops, cameras, and more. The future is
electric!
