'Bionic eye' monitors industrial assembly lines

Scientists are developing a 'bionic eye' that could be used by manufacturers to improve the monitoring of industrial assembly lines. At the back of the human eye is a specialised layer of cells called the retina, which captures light information. This information is then converted into electrical signals and sent via the optic nerve to the brain, where a visual image is produced.

Organisms re-engineered to produce green fuels

A project to develop clean fuels using microscopic organisms called cyanobacteria has been given the green light. Cyanobacteria get their energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. They excrete oxygen as a by-product. Billions of years ago they are thought to have dramatically changed the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere, stimulating a flourishing of different forms of life and leading to the near-extinction of organisms that we...

Ultra-thin membrane could cut industrial energy consumption

Engineers have developed an ultra-thin, super-strong membrane to filter liquids and gases, with the potential to cut energy consumption in industry. Membranes are selectively permeable barriers that can provide a filter for a range of processes, from removing salt from sea water in desalination plants, to filtering the blood of kidney patients in dialysis machines.
