London, May 10 : A team led by an Indian researcher has developed an electronic nose coated with ‘mouse urine’, which they say, can help sniff out trace quantities of explosives or pollutants, or p
Canberra, May 10 : Australian scientists have developed a process that can pave the way for lighter, stronger concrete, with a smaller greenhouse footprint, by utilising the waste “fly-ash” from coal-fired power stations.
Developed by researchers at the University of NSW (New South Wales), the new process has the potential to capture all of the 14 million tonnes of ash particles churned out each year by Australian energy plants and turn them into a form of aggregate, which bonds with cement.
According to Dr Obada Kayali, a civil engineering lecturer at the Australian Defence Force Academy and the University of NSW, “The environmental benefits are enormous, really huge, because you are looking at a much smaller volume of cement per cubic metre.”
