An energy-efficient method of recovering economically valuable minerals and materials from wastewater has been developed by researchers at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. In addition to the new approach to recovering resources from industrial wastewater, the researchers also developed new ‘rapid tools’ for the identification of various environmental pollutants. … [continued]
This article has been reposted from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland website (image added). Wind energy capacity is growing rapidly in the cold climates of the world. According to the latest forecasts, between 45 and 50 gigawatts of wind energy will be built in cold climates by 2017, which would … [continued]
Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)— high-quality, energy-efficient displays — are already used in some flat screen TVs. But they’re about to become common in everything from electronic paper to adaptive clothing thanks to researchers at the VTT Technical Centre in Finland.
