Now that it’s the middle of a cold snowy winter, I’m looking forward to my annual summer camping trip. What can make camping even more enjoyable? Self-cleaning clothes. And I don’t mean jumping into the river with your clothes on, but simply just leaving them out in the sun. At least, that’s what we may be able to do one day with the self-cleaning cotton developed by Chinese researchers.

Did you think of energy? Climate change? Food security? Human health? Increasing conflict? What comes to mind for me is related to all five: The water crisis. And unfortunately, we’re not ready. Jay Famiglietti at the University of California, Irving directs the UC Center for Hydrologic Modeling, which focuses on water. After 15 years of using NASA satellites to track water availability around the world, he’s convinced that we are – to use his own words – “on many levels, completely and totally hosed.”

Nobel laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore once wrote, "Let your life lightly dance on the edges of time like dew on the tip of a leaf." Now, a new study is finally offering an explanation for why small dew drops do as Tagore advised and form on the tips, rather than the flat surfaces, of leaves. It appears in ACS' journal Langmuir.

A giant dune-spanning, solar-powered leaf could turn even the most parched desert outpost into a fertile oasis of ice. The concept (and the above image) certainly seems like a scene Salvador Dali would have painted, however, this is no surrealist figment of the imagination. It's an actual project called SunGlacier that Dutch artist, Ap Verheggen, has hatched with Cofely Refrigeration to make the impossible possible.
