Growing focus on increasing the quantity of yield has led to the indiscriminate use of fertilizers in agriculture. This can result in both environmental and agricultural catastrophes by degrading the quality of the soil. According to a report by Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), natural resources such as water and arable land are on the verge of exhaustion. Furthermore, degradation at a high rate continues due to intensive urbanization and excessive use of chemical fertilizers. Thus, the declining nutritional quality of food and degraded quality of soil continues to drive a gradual shift toward nanotechnology in agriculture. Nano fertilizers remains an ideal prospect to maintain the quality of soil while meeting production target.

The use of nano fertilizers can help in reducing chemical fertilizer consumption by 80 to 100 times, thus reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers. For instance, the demand for nano urea is increasing worldwide as it has the ability to replace regular urea usage at a relatively lower cost while offering high yields to crops. By 2023 nano urea is expected to replace the usage of 13.7 million tons of conventional urea. Thus, the huge demand for nano fertilizer from the agriculture industry along with supportive government policies continues to promote newer and more efficient agriculture techniques.

The importance of policy framework remains paramount to promote sustainable growth, and such framework is already in place for nano fertilizers in key regions. For instance, U.S department of agriculture in 2020 announced to make USD 250 million investment through its new grant program. This initiative was taken to support new innovative and more efficient fertilizer production in the region. Additionally, USDA seeks growth in competition as it aims to allay concerns regarding supply chain. With its new initiatives, the USDA continues to introduce more transparency for consumers to make them aware of the safety of agriculture produce. These initiatives aimed at gauging the use of fertilizers, seeds, retail markets, continue to generate momentum for the eco-friendly and high-yield promising nano fertilizers.

Engineering a coating for disease-free produce

Dr. Mustafa Akbulut, professor of chemical engineering, has teamed up with horticultural science professor Luis Cisneros-Zevallos to engineer longer-lasting, bacteria-free produce. According to Akbulut's recent publication in Current Research in Food Science, the global fruit and vegetable market loses over 50% of agricultural fruit production during various stages of produce handling and post-harvest treatments. Many fruits and vegetables already have a layer of food-grade wax that is applied for cosmetic reasons and to prevent water loss. Akbulut's research combines such wax with nano-encapsulated cinnamon-bark essential oil in protein carriers to enhance them with antibacterial properties. "We are living in an age where technology has advanced so much," Akbulut said. "However, the food industry has not competed with these advances, and there are continuous problems with food safety. News about foodborne diseases and outbreaks reporting hundreds of people becoming sick from unhygienic food frequently appears at the national level."

Explore The Different Classifications And Types Of Drones!

Drones, once a niche technology for hobbyists or military use, have evolved into a vast and diverse field, with various classifications and types suited to different purposes. Whether you’re thinking about buying one or just want to understand what they’re all about, it’s helpful to get a sense of how drones are categorized.

To make things more understandable, let's dissect it.

Drone Classifications: How are they categorized?

Another name for drones is unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. They can be divided into groups based on several factors. These factors include their size, weight, range, usage, and level of autonomy. Below is a summary of the most popular classifications:

1. Size-Based Classifications

Drones come in all shapes and sizes, and this is one of the primary ways they’re classified:

Nano Drones: These are the smallest drones available, usually under 250 grams. They are so small that they can fit in your hand's palm. Nano drones are typically used for indoor flying, recreational purposes, or even short-range aerial photography. Due to their small size, they usually don’t have long battery life, but they’re a fun introduction to the drone world!

Micro Drones: Slightly larger than nano drones, micro drones typically weigh between 250 grams and 2 kilograms. They’re often more stable, come with cameras, and are ideal for learning how to fly a drone. Most toy drones fall into this category.

Small Drones: These weigh between 2 and 25 kilograms. They’re versatile and used for both recreational and professional purposes. Small drones can carry more sophisticated cameras and sensors. This makes them popular for photography, mapping, and light delivery services.

Medium Drones: Drones that weigh between 25 and 150 kilograms fall under this category. They’re used in more specialized tasks, including surveying land, agricultural monitoring, or even search and rescue missions.

Large Drones: These are the big guns, weighing over 150 kilograms. They’re primarily used by the military for surveillance, reconnaissance, or combat missions. Some large drones are also used for heavy-duty industrial tasks like mapping and large-scale surveying.

2. Range-Based Classifications

Drones are also classified by how far they can fly from their controller or base station:

Short-Range Drones: These typically have a range of around 5 kilometers or less. They’re used for things like recreational flying, basic photography, or small commercial tasks.

Medium-Range Drones: These drones can fly up to around 50 kilometers. They’re often used in commercial applications like pipeline monitoring, agriculture, or infrastructure inspection.

Long-Range Drones: Drones that can operate at distances beyond 50 kilometers fall into this category. These are usually military-grade or highly specialized drones used for tasks like border patrol, environmental monitoring, or search-and-rescue missions over large areas.

3. Usage-Based Classifications

Drones are incredibly versatile and can be classified based on their intended purpose:

Recreational Drones: These are the drones most people are familiar with—the ones used for fun! Recreational drones are usually small to medium-sized and easy to operate. They are great for aerial photography, videography, or a good time outdoors.

Commercial Drones: Businesses use drones for a wide variety of tasks. For example, drones are popular in agriculture (for monitoring crops and soil), construction (for surveying land or tracking progress on projects), and logistics (for package delivery). Commercial drones have advanced features like high-definition cameras, GPS, and longer flight times.

Military Drones: These drones have been around the longest, and they’re designed for combat, surveillance, or reconnaissance. Military drones include small units that soldiers can deploy in the field. And also large, long-range systems used for intelligence gathering or precision strikes.

Industrial Drones: Industrial drones are specialized machines used for heavy-duty tasks. For example, they’re often used for inspecting power lines, wind turbines, oil rigs, or other infrastructure that’s hard for humans to reach. They can carry special equipment like thermal imaging cameras or LIDAR systems.

4. Autonomy-Based Classifications

As technology evolves, drones are getting smarter, and many can now fly autonomously. This means they don’t need a human controlling them the entire time. Here’s how drones are classified based on their autonomy:

Manual Drones: These require constant input from a pilot or operator to stay airborne. They’re the most basic types, and the user has complete control over the drone’s movements.

Semi-Autonomous Drones: Semi-autonomous drones can perform some tasks on their own. Tasks such as maintaining altitude and avoiding obstacles. They also return to a home base when the battery is low. However, they still require input from an operator for most actions.

Autonomous Drones: These drones are capable of performing entire missions without any human intervention. They can follow pre-programmed routes, navigate using GPS, and even make decisions based on sensor data. Autonomous drones are used in situations where human control isn’t practical. Such situations include remote surveillance or certain industrial tasks.

Types of Drones: What are they used for?

Now that we’ve gone over classifications, let’s look at the different types of drones based on their physical design and functionality:

1. Multi-Rotor Drones

The most common type of drone is the multi-rotor drone. These are the classic drones with multiple propellers (usually four, which is why you might hear them called "quadcopters"). Multi-rotor drones are known for their stability, ease of use, and ability to hover in place. They’re ideal for aerial photography, surveillance, and short-range tasks. But they have relatively short flight times compared to other types.

2. Fixed-Wing Drones

Unlike multi-rotor drones, fixed-wing drones look more like airplanes. They rely on wings to generate lift and are much more efficient over long distances, which gives them longer flight times. Fixed-wing drones are used for tasks that require covering large areas. Such tasks include mapping, surveying, or environmental monitoring.

3. Single-Rotor Drones

Single-rotor drones look similar to helicopters, with one large rotor and possibly a smaller one for stability. They’re more efficient than multi-rotor drones and can carry heavier payloads. These are often used in industrial applications or for tasks like carrying scientific instruments.

4. Hybrid VTOL Drones

Hybrid drones combine the best of both worlds, being able to take off and land vertically like a multi-rotor but fly efficiently like a fixed-wing drone. These are becoming more popular for long-range tasks that need both vertical takeoff and efficient flight.

Conclusion

Drones are incredibly diverse, and understanding their classifications and types helps us see just how versatile they are. Whether you're flying a toy drone for fun or using an industrial drone to inspect a wind turbine, there's a lot to appreciate in how these machines are designed and used. With advancements in autonomy and increasing applications in fields like delivery, agriculture, and photography, drones are set to become an even bigger part of our lives!

New filtration material could remove long-lasting chemicals from water

New Post has been published on https://sunalei.org/news/new-filtration-material-could-remove-long-lasting-chemicals-from-water/

New filtration material could remove long-lasting chemicals from water

Water contamination by the chemicals used in today’s technology is a rapidly growing problem globally. A recent study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found that 98 percent of people tested had detectable levels of PFAS, a family of particularly long-lasting compounds also known as “forever chemicals,” in their bloodstream.

A new filtration material developed by researchers at MIT might provide a nature-based solution to this stubborn contamination issue. The material, based on natural silk and cellulose, can remove a wide variety of these persistent chemicals as well as heavy metals. And, its antimicrobial properties can help keep the filters from fouling.

The findings are described in the journal ACS Nano, in a paper by MIT postdoc Yilin Zhang, professor of civil and environmental engineering Benedetto Marelli, and four others from MIT.

PFAS chemicals are present in a wide range of products, including cosmetics, food packaging, water-resistant clothing, firefighting foams, and antistick coating for cookware. A recent study identified 57,000 sites contaminated by these chemicals in the U.S. alone. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that PFAS remediation will cost $1.5 billion per year, in order to meet new regulations that call for limiting the compound to less than 7 parts per trillion in drinking water.

Contamination by PFAS and similar compounds “is actually a very big deal, and current solutions may only partially resolve this problem very efficiently or economically,” Zhang says. “That’s why we came up with this protein and cellulose-based, fully natural solution,” he says.

“We came to the project by chance,” Marelli notes. The initial technology that made the filtration material possible was developed by his group for a completely unrelated purpose — as a way to make a labelling system to counter the spread of counterfeit seeds, which are often of inferior quality. His team devised a way of processing silk proteins into uniform nanoscale crystals, or “nanofibrils,” through an environmentally benign, water-based drop-casting method at room temperature.

Zhang suggested that their new nanofibrillar material might be effective at filtering contaminants, but initial attempts with the silk nanofibrils alone didn’t work. The team decided to try adding another material: cellulose, which is abundantly available and can be obtained from agricultural wood pulp waste. The researchers used a self-assembly method in which the silk fibroin protein is suspended in water and then templated into nanofibrils by inserting “seeds” of cellulose nanocrystals. This causes the previously disordered silk molecules to line up together along the seeds, forming the basis of a hybrid material with distinct new properties.

By integrating cellulose into the silk-based fibrils that could be formed into a thin membrane, and then tuning the electrical charge of the cellulose, the researchers produced a material that was highly effective at removing contaminants in lab tests.

The electrical charge of the cellulose, they found, also gave it strong antimicrobial properties. This is a significant advantage, since one of the primary causes of failure in filtration membranes is fouling by bacteria and fungi. The antimicrobial properties of this material should greatly reduce that fouling issue, the researchers say.

“These materials can really compete with the current standard materials in water filtration when it comes to extracting metal ions and these emerging contaminants, and they can also outperform some of them currently,” Marelli says. In lab tests, the materials were able to extract orders of magnitude more of the contaminants from water than the currently used standard materials, activated carbon or granular activated carbon.

While the new work serves as a proof of principle, Marelli says, the team plans to continue working on improving the material, especially in terms of durability and availability of source materials. While the silk proteins used can be available as a byproduct of the silk textile industry, if this material were to be scaled up to address the global needs for water filtration, the supply might be insufficient. Also, alternative protein materials may turn out to perform the same function at lower cost.

Initially, the material would likely be used as a point-of-use filter, something that could be attached to a kitchen faucet, Zhang says. Eventually, it could be scaled up to provide filtration for municipal water supplies, but only after testing demonstrates that this would not pose any risk of introducing any contamination into the water supply. But one big advantage of the material, he says, is that both the silk and the cellulose constituents are considered food-grade substances, so any contamination is unlikely.

“Most of the normal materials available today are focusing on one class of contaminants or solving single problems,” Zhang says. “I think we are among the first to address all of these simultaneously.”

“What I love about this approach is that it is using only naturally grown materials like silk and cellulose to fight pollution,” says Hannes Schniepp, professor of applied science at the College of William and Mary, who was not associated with this work. “In competing approaches, synthetic materials are used — which usually require only more chemistry to fight some of the adverse outcomes that chemistry has produced. [This work] breaks this cycle! … If this can be mass-produced in an economically viable way, this could really have a major impact.”

The research team included MIT postdocs Hui Sun and Meng Li, graduate student Maxwell Kalinowski, and recent graduate Yunteng Cao PhD ’22, now a postdoc at Yale University. The work was supported by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology.

New filtration material could remove long-lasting chemicals from water

New filtration material could remove long-lasting chemicals from water

Water contamination by the chemicals used in today’s technology is a rapidly growing problem globally. A recent study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found that 98 percent of people tested had detectable levels of PFAS, a family of particularly long-lasting compounds also known as “forever chemicals,” in their bloodstream.

A new filtration material developed by researchers at MIT might provide a nature-based solution to this stubborn contamination issue. The material, based on natural silk and cellulose, can remove a wide variety of these persistent chemicals as well as heavy metals. And, its antimicrobial properties can help keep the filters from fouling.

The findings are described in the journal ACS Nano, in a paper by MIT postdoc Yilin Zhang, professor of civil and environmental engineering Benedetto Marelli, and four others from MIT.

PFAS chemicals are present in a wide range of products, including cosmetics, food packaging, water-resistant clothing, firefighting foams, and antistick coating for cookware. A recent study identified 57,000 sites contaminated by these chemicals in the U.S. alone. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that PFAS remediation will cost $1.5 billion per year, in order to meet new regulations that call for limiting the compound to less than 7 parts per trillion in drinking water.

Contamination by PFAS and similar compounds “is actually a very big deal, and current solutions may only partially resolve this problem very efficiently or economically,” Zhang says. “That’s why we came up with this protein and cellulose-based, fully natural solution,” he says.

“We came to the project by chance,” Marelli notes. The initial technology that made the filtration material possible was developed by his group for a completely unrelated purpose — as a way to make a labelling system to counter the spread of counterfeit seeds, which are often of inferior quality. His team devised a way of processing silk proteins into uniform nanoscale crystals, or “nanofibrils,” through an environmentally benign, water-based drop-casting method at room temperature.

Zhang suggested that their new nanofibrillar material might be effective at filtering contaminants, but initial attempts with the silk nanofibrils alone didn’t work. The team decided to try adding another material: cellulose, which is abundantly available and can be obtained from agricultural wood pulp waste. The researchers used a self-assembly method in which the silk fibroin protein is suspended in water and then templated into nanofibrils by inserting “seeds” of cellulose nanocrystals. This causes the previously disordered silk molecules to line up together along the seeds, forming the basis of a hybrid material with distinct new properties.

By integrating cellulose into the silk-based fibrils that could be formed into a thin membrane, and then tuning the electrical charge of the cellulose, the researchers produced a material that was highly effective at removing contaminants in lab tests.

Are China’s vast bamboo forests the answer to forever fossil plastics?

A team of Chinese scientists on a quest to develop bamboo into a biodegradable alternative to plastics say they have discovered a recipe to process the material into feasible products.China – which has more bamboo forests than any other country – is in the midst of a long-term effort to reduce pollution and reach carbon neutrality and has been looking for ways to transform the tall, thick grass into a viable replacement for petroleum-based goods that can decompose quickly.

Plastic pollution has become a critical global concern, and the very slow biodegradation of traditional plastics has led to alarming accumulations of plastic waste in soil, waterways and even human bodies. “Bamboo, known for its rapid growth, renewability, biodegradability, and eco-friendliness, is regarded as a promising substitute for plastics,” the researchers wrote in a paper published in the American Chemical Society’s peer-reviewed journal ACS NANO on August 20th.

But significant technical challenges have prevented the widespread adoption of bamboo as a substitute for everyday plastics.The natural structure of bamboo cells means its “plasticity” and self-adhesive properties are much lower than traditional plastics, making it necessary to combine it with other materials such as starch. However, bamboo-starch composites have potential drawbacks, such as poor mechanical strength, water sensitivity and processing costs.

To find a solution, the team developed a method to improve the plasticity of bamboo by altering its cellular structure before hot-pressing it into a water resistant and recyclable plastic.To make bamboo-based thermosetting plastic on an industrial scale, the researchers ground bamboo into powder and used eco-friendly chemicals to remove part of the lignin – the organic substance binding the cell structures, giving the stalks their rigidity – and disturb the structure of another cellular component in the cells.

“This study presents a feasible approach to enhance the plasticity of bamboo by selectively removing part of its lignin and disrupting the crystalline structure of cellulose,” said the researchers, who are from the China National Bamboo Research Centre, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, and Chinese Academy of Forestry.“This remodelling process not only significantly enhanced the reactivity of the bamboo cells, but also substantially improved their plasticity,” first author Guo Dengkang told Science and Technology Daily, the newspaper of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The all-bamboo plastic showed “exceptional mechanical robustness”, meaning it could be classified as a hard plastic alongside traditional plastics like polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and could even be used as a substitute.“The activated bamboo … can be manufactured into a wide array of all-bamboo-based plastic products, including spoons, hats, phone cases, earphone cases, computer cases, and basins, offering a broad range of applications,” the team wrote in their paper.

Some lignin in the bamboo powder was removed using a sodium chlorite/acetic acid system to create the plastic.This exposed cellulose and hemicellulose – structural components in plants – within the bamboo’s cell walls, was then oxidised using sodium periodate.The process disrupted the crystalline structure of the cellulose and increased the reactivity of the bamboo, allowing it to form more bonds when hot-pressed at 95 degrees Celsius (203 Fahrenheit) to form the final plastic.

The colour of the resulting plastic, which the team pressed into utensils and bowls, ranged from pale yellow to reddish-brown based on the amount of lignin left in the bamboo.“These products have the potential to replace petroleum-based plastics in various application scenarios,” the team said.The all-bamboo plastic also had good tensile strength and maintained shape and rigidity when soaked in solvent and water, according to the researchers.

Because the material did not melt during the heating process, it is considered a thermosetting plastic rather than a thermoplastic, and could be recycled by being ground into a powder and mixed with water before hot-pressing again.In soil burial tests, the scientists found that the bamboo plastic almost entirely degraded after 90 days. The team also showed that the plastic could be made using industrial bamboo pulp – which already has lignin removed – using fewer production steps.

“[All-bamboo based thermosetting plastic] offers promising solutions for replacing conventional plastics with sustainable alternatives and promoting the high-value utilisation of bamboo resources,” the team said in the paper.

Greening Agriculture with Nano Fertilizers: Market Insights and Prospects

The global nano fertilizer market size is expected to reach USD 9,377.3 million by 2030. The industry growth is primarily driven by increasing demand for better crop yields due to a significant rise in the global population and limited availability of key resources like land.

Gain deeper insights on the market and receive your free copy with TOC now @: Nano Fertilizer Market Report

Growing focus on increasing the quantity of yield has led to the indiscriminate use of fertilizers in agriculture. This can result in both environmental and agricultural catastrophes by degrading the quality of the soil. According to a report by Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), natural resources such as water and arable land are on the verge of exhaustion. Furthermore, degradation at a high rate continues due to intensive urbanization and excessive use of chemical fertilizers. Thus, the declining nutritional quality of food and degraded quality of soil continues to drive a gradual shift toward nanotechnology in agriculture. Nano fertilizers remains an ideal prospect to maintain the quality of soil while meeting production target.

The use of nano fertilizers can help in reducing chemical fertilizer consumption by 80 to 100 times, thus reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers. For instance, the demand for nano urea is increasing worldwide as it has the ability to replace regular urea usage at a relatively lower cost while offering high yields to crops. By 2023 nano urea is expected to replace the usage of 13.7 million tons of conventional urea. Thus, the huge demand for nano fertilizer from the agriculture industry along with supportive government policies continues to promote newer and more efficient agriculture techniques.

The importance of policy framework remains paramount to promote sustainable growth, and such framework is already in place for nano fertilizers in key regions. For instance, U.S department of agriculture in 2020 announced to make USD 250 million investment through its new grant program. This initiative was taken to support new innovative and more efficient fertilizer production in the region. Additionally, USDA seeks growth in competition as it aims to allay concerns regarding supply chain. With its new initiatives, the USDA continues to introduce more transparency for consumers to make them aware of the safety of agriculture produce. These initiatives aimed at gauging the use of fertilizers, seeds, retail markets, continue to generate momentum for the eco-friendly and high-yield promising nano fertilizers.

Global regulatory barriers or conditions remain a significant challenge for businesses seeking to launch or have assets launched into space, irrespective of active technical progress and a momentum for privatization in the post-SpaceX age of developing space markets. Operating licences for LSPs (Launch Services Programs) remain a sluggish process and laws being not yet in effect to support new modes of service. The lengthy delays required to gain regulatory approval have been adversely impacting the development of space companies. The S2E (Service-to-Employee) section, especially for spacecraft without de-orbiting capability, may be further affected by new space debris regulations. This is poised to hamper the new space/commercial market growth in the long run.
