- Eco Oceanic Energy SystemsIn Climate & Geoengineering·September 5, 2022"The Waveline Magnet Concept Design has been designed by Sea Wave Energy Limited (SWEL) as an eco energy solution for harnessing the power of the ocean. The system maintains an elongated mat design that would float freely in the ocean and convert the wave energy into electricity. This energy would be captured in the spine-like central unit where it could be stored for use. The Waveline Magnet Concept Design wouldn't cause any disruption to the surface of the water and would capture more energy when the waves get rougher. The system would act as a complementary addition to the existing renewable energy technologies on the market and could produce up to 100MW of energy per unit."

- Scientists have taught spinach to send emails and it could warn us about climate changeIn Lifestyles and the Environment·December 7, 2021"It may sound like something out of a futuristic science fiction film, but scientists have managed to engineer spinach plants which are capable of sending emails. Through nanotechnology, engineers at MIT in the US have transformed spinach into sensors capable of detecting explosive materials. These plants are then able to wirelessly relay this information back to the scientists."
