Episode: 2361 Making ethanol from cellulose. Today, we make moonshine.
This is music, that I suppose mycelium would love. Based on cellulose IE sounds from branches, leaves, fruits, seeds, etc., that are the things mycelium feed on. When doing my outdoor mycelium concerts, this is the basic soundscape I'll 'feed' to the environment, thus creating a fertile ground (literally) for the mycelium to engage in a fair trade - cellulose (sound) for bioelectricity (used in my eurorack modular setup via Scion Instruo, to give the mycelium a voice)

However, not all homes worldwide have access to such cooling systems. So, what can be done when the heat becomes unbearable? A promising solution may lie in a new type of cellulose material. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed an innovative thin film that actually becomes cooler when exposed to direct sunlight. This cellulose-based material shows great potential as an electricity-free alternative to traditional air conditioning systems. 隨著氣候變遷的不斷加劇,夏季變得越來越炎熱,許多台灣家庭廣泛使用冷氣。然而,世界各地並非所有家庭都有冷氣系統。那麼,當天氣變得無法忍受時該怎麼辦?一種具有潛力的解決方案可能就在一種新型的纖維素材料中。劍橋大學的研究人員開發出一種創新的薄膜,當暴露在陽光下時實際上會變得更冷。這種基於纖維素的材料有望成為一種無需電力的傳統冷氣系統的替代品。 The film operates through passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC), effectively dissipating heat without raising the temperature of the surrounding air. Cellulose is one of the few plant-based compounds capable of achieving PDRC. By extracting "cellulose nanocrystals" (CNC) from sources like wood and other plants, the researchers created a suspension by dispersing CNC in water. Through the process of evaporation, a flexible arrangement of crystals is formed, which can then be coated onto white ethyl cellulose sheets, resulting in a captivating double-layered, rainbow-colored thin film. 該薄膜通過被動日間輻射冷卻(PDRC)運作,有效地散熱而不使周圍空氣的溫度升高。纖維素是少數能夠實現PDRC的植物基化合物之一。研究人員從木材和其他植物來源中提取出"纖維素奈米結晶"(CNC),並將CNC分散在水中,形成一種懸浮液。通過蒸發過程,形成了一種靈活的晶體排列,可以塗在白色乙基纖維素片上,形成一種迷人的雙層彩虹色薄膜。 In 2023, the University of Cambridge researchers showcased this experimental film at the American Chemical Society conference. When subjected to direct sunlight, the film displayed a temperature reduction of approximately 7 ℉ compared to the surrounding air. A square meter of this thin film generates cooling power exceeding 120 watts, which is comparable to the cooling effect provided by an air conditioner in a home without access to external power sources. The widespread application of this material on buildings and vehicles could significantly reduce the reliance on traditional air conditioning units. 2023年,劍橋大學的研究人員在美國化學學會會議上展示了這種實驗性薄膜。在直射陽光下,與周圍空氣相比,薄膜的溫度降低了約7華氏度。每平方米的薄膜產生的冷卻功率超過120瓦,這相當於家中沒有外部電源的冷氣的冷卻效果。如果將這種材料廣泛應用於建築物和車輛上,可以顯著減少對傳統冷氣的依賴。 An interesting characteristic of the cellulose film is its ability to reflect visible light, creating a colorful appearance similar to that of soap bubbles. Unlike other materials, the cellulose film achieves this without the need for additional pigments, as they would hinder the film's PDRC capabilities. This unique feature makes it highly suitable for applications that prioritize aesthetics, such as residential and automotive designs. Furthermore, there is potential for the film to mimic the appearance of wood finishes, expanding its range of applications. This avenue of research represents the team's next focus. 纖維素薄膜的一個有趣特點是它能夠反射可見光,創造出類似於肥皂泡沫的多彩外觀。與其他材料不同,這種纖維素薄膜無需添加額外的顏料即可實現這一效果,因為顏料會影響薄膜的PDRC能力。這種獨特的性質非常適合用在住宅和汽車設計等注重審美的地方。此外,該薄膜還具有模仿木質飾面的潛力,擴大了應用範圍。這是團隊下一個研究方向的重點。 Reference article: https://ccc.technews.tw/2023/06/09/cellulose-electricity-free-air-conditioning/

Welcome to Episode 54! https://sustainable-ecom.com/ep54 This week is our third episode in our mini-series on waste, this week we look at absolutely emerging technology in relation to chemical recycling of textiles. Chemical recycling per se isn't new. There are a few amazing companies overseas like Renewcel that can take cellulosic textiles and recycle those into new yarn. But until now, there has never been a solution to blends. Enter my guest this week. Adrian Jones is the co-founder of Queensland-based chemical recycling company BlockTexx. Despite being what I think you would still call a start-up, they've already proved they can handle 85% of the typical textile fibre types, and are handling about 4000 tonnes of textiles this year. They have developed an incredibly exciting technology that I think we'll see becoming more and more important part of the textile recycling supply chain in the years to come.

Kanazawa University NanoLSI Podcast: Chemists uncover cracks in the amour of cellulose nanocrystalsTranscript of this podcastHello and welcome to the NanoLSI podcast. Thank you for joining us today. In this episode we feature the latest research by Takeshi Fukuma and colleagues at the Kanazawa University NanoLSI. The research described in this podcast was published in the journal Science Advances in October 2022Kanazawa University NanoLSI website https://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/en/Chemists uncover cracks in the amour of cellulose nanocrystalsChemists in Japan, Canada and Europe have uncovered flaws in the surface structure of cellulose nanocrystals—an important step toward deconstructing cellulose to produce renewable nano-materials relevant to biochemical products, energy solutions, and biofuels.The findings—published in Science Advances—are the most detailed look yet at the surface chemistry and structure of individual cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) particles.The team, led by researchers at Kanazawa University, applied three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (3D-AFM) and molecular dynamics simulations to individual CNC fibres in water. The high-resolution scanning revealed new details of the cellulose chain arrangements on the CNCs surfaces.“This is an essential step towards understanding the mechanisms of CNC degradation, which is crucial for biomass conversion, with relevance to renewable nanomaterials and chemical production,” said Professor Takeshi Fukuma, Director of the Nano Life Science Institute at Kanazawa University.For the most part, the structure of a single CNC fibre showed honeycomb or zigzag chain arrangements on crystalline portions, interspersed with disordered, non-crystalline regions at irregular intervals. The researchers uncovered structural defects associated with the non-crystalline regions of the surface.“This is a great example of an international collaboration developed at the Nano Life Science Institute at Kanazawa University,” said University of British Columbia Professor Mark MacLachlan, Canada Research Chair in Supramolecular Materials and co-author on the paper. “It is important to visualize the surface and defects in these natural structures in order to advance their applications.”Chemists with Professor MacLachlan's lab at UBC helped devise the experiment, and synthesized and purified the cellulose nanocrystals for the project. Computational studies and modeling were undertaken by a team from Finland, led by Professor Adam Foster.The study also modelled the three-dimensional arrangement of water molecules near the CNC surface—which might offer material scientists additional clues to how the CNC surface might respond to molecular adsorption, diffusion and chemical reactions.ReferenceAyhan Yurtsever*, Pei-Xi Wang, Fabio Priante, Ygor Morais Jaques, Keisuke Miyazawa, Mark J.

A pest control firm provides termite treatment services, an insect that lives in colonies of between 30,000 and 2.5 million termites, which our organization estimates. Cellulose found in paper, wood, textiles, and carpets is the primary food source for termites. Windows, doors, wooden furniture, and floors can all be ravaged by termites. The destruction that termites may wreak on our structures is far more worrisome than the health risks.

Hello and welcome to Episode Forty Nine of Page Turn: the Largo Public Library Podcast. I'm your host, Hannah! If you enjoy the podcast subscribe, tell a friend, or write us a review! The English Language Transcript can be found below But as always we start with Reader's Advisory! The Reader's Advisory for Episode Forty Nine is The Night by Rodrigo Blanco Calderón. If you like the sound of The Night you should also check out: Mouthful of Birds by Samanta Schweblin, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki by Haruki Murakami, and Flowers of Mold by Ha Seong-nan. Bonus segment my personal favorite Goodreads list The Night is on is Ficción Weird en Español Happy Reading Everyone Today's Library Tidbit comes to us from Adult Services Librarian Sarah and is all about natural dyeing. Natural dyes are dyes created from plants, invertebrates, or minerals. There is archaeological evidence of humans dyeing material with natural dyes back to the Neolithic era. Synthetic, or man-made dyes, were discovered in the mid-19th century and took over most commercial dyeing processes due to it being cheaper and easier to produce expected colors. Natural dyes can only dye natural fibers. These can be divided into two types, cellulose and protein, Cellulose fibers are fibers that come from plant material, seed, leaf, bast, fruit, and stalk. Protein fibers are fibers that come from animals, wool, hair, sinew, leather, and silk. Different fibers will react differently to dyes. Most natural dyers start to learn about natural dyeing through a love of nature and wanting to take care of the Earth. Natural dyes are significantly better for the environment than synthetic dyeing, especially if the dyer does not over-harvest a specific crop or insect. People also love natural dyes for their complexities. Synthetic dyes are single note dyes and lack the depth and complexities that natural dyes have. When looking at a synthetic grey it is exactly that shade of grey. When looking at a natural grey you will see grey but maybe some browns and or blues as well. This is sometimes cheated in fabric dyed with synthetic dyes by weaving strands of different colors together or by mixing synthetic dyes, but the end result is not the same as a naturally dyed piece of fabric. However, it can be difficult to impossible to get the intensity and range of colors of synthetic dyes using natural dyes. You also cannot dye synthetic fibers using natural dyes, only synthetic dyes. So if you have a blended fabric you will need to dye it using synthetic dyes or only the natural fibers in the fabric will be dyed. In order to get natural dyes to stick to the fabric a mordant or tannin needs to be used. A mordant is a metal salt that sticks to both the fabric and to the dye and allows the dye to stick to the fabric. The most common mordant used today is alum, a metal salt of aluminum, however, iron mordant is also used. Alum will not modify the color of the natural dye. Iron mordant will change the color of the dye, sometimes quite drastically! Tannin, which is an astringent, binds with organic compounds, which means that natural dyes made with tannin heavy items do not need a mordant to be washfast. Washfast means that dye will stay in the fabric. Without a mordant or tannins natural dye will wash out of fabric within a few rinses. Most natural dyes are not lightfast. This means that light, particularly, sunlight will bleach or lighten the dye over time. However, there are natural dyes that are naturally more lightfast and will not change much over time. The first step to natural dyeing is to collect dyeing tools. These are tools that will be only used to dyeing. They are tools that could also be used in the kitchen, so it is extremely important that you make sure to separate them away from any kitchen tools. Just because something is natural does not make it safe. Tools that you will need include: stainless steel pots and...

My AP Biology Thoughts Episode #41Welcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, my name is Arthur and I am your host for episode 41 called Unit 1: Monomers and Polymers of the Macromolecules. Today we will be discussing dehydration and hydrolysis reactions in regards to macromolecules. Segment 1: Introduction to Monomers and Polymers of the MacromoleculesThe formation and breaking of macromolecules are essential for complex life to function. We will be discussing the chemical mechanisms by which macromolecules both form and break down. Monomers: The unit components of the larger macromolecules. Polymers: What is formed when the monomers bond together, which are known as macromolecules. Dehydration synthesis: A water molecule being ejected in order to allow for a monomer to covalently bond to another monomer or polymer. Hydrolysis: A polymer splitting apart after reacting with a water molecule. Activation energy: An energy threshold, which must be met in order for a reaction to proceed. Segment 2: Example of Monomers and Polymers of the MacromoleculesMonosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates. In the presence of the necessary enzyme, a hydroxyl group is ripped off one of the monosaccharides and a hydrogen off the hydroxyl group of the other. This results in the two monosaccharides bonding together via an ether (glycosidic) bond as well as the formation of a water molecule. Conversely, this reaction can happen in reverse via hydrolysis. The formation of triglycerides involves dehydration synthesis. An ester linkage is created between a fatty acid and a glycerol and a water molecule is released. A hydrogen is ripped of the carboxylic acid from the fatty acid and the hydroxyl is ripped off the glycerol. Polypeptide chains form via dehydration synthesis between two amino acids. An OH is ripped off the carboxylic acid and a hydrogen is ripped off the amine group, allowing the amino acids to covalently bond as well as allowing the formation of a water molecule. This occurs many times allowing for long polypeptide chains to form, which eventually leads to proteins. Segment 3: Digging Deeper Monomers and Polymers of the MacromoleculesThe creation of macromolecules from monomers gives complex life its structure (ex. Cellulose). Additionally, the breaking down of macromolecules is essential for metabolism and the operations of cells (ex. Breaking down polysaccharides down to glucose for cellular respiration).
