Time Magazine on September 6 said that recent research by Orb Media, a global environmental organization, shows 83% of the world's water samples contain micro-plastic fibers.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology used zinc oxide microfibers to significantly improve the efficiency of ultraviolet light emitting diodes.
Researchers are in the process of making the first adhesive that can self-clean after each use without the need for water or chemicals, very similar to the hairs on the gecko's
