Indigenous aquaculture systems in Hawaii, known as loko i’a or fishponds, can increase the amount of fish and fisheries harvested both inside and outside of the pond. Today, aquaculture supplies less than 1% of Hawaii’s 70 million pounds of locally available seafood, but revitalization of loko i’a has the potential to significantly increase locally available …
Could fishponds help with Hawaii’s food sustainability? Read More »

The mass production of conventional silicon chips relies on a successful business model with large ‘semiconductor fabrication plants’ or ‘foundries’. New research by shows that this ‘foundry’ model can also be applied to the field of flexible, thin-film electronics.

Scientists demonstrated the first-ever remote observations of the fine-scale structure at the base of clouds. The results show that the air-cloud interface is a transition zone where aerosol particles suspended in Earth’s atmosphere give rise to the droplets that ultimately form clouds. The research will enable scientists to gain insight into how changes in atmospheric …

Magnetic cilia — artificial hairs whose movement is powered by embedded magnetic particles — have been around for a while, and are of interest for applications in soft robotics, transporting objects and mixing liquids. However, existing magnetic cilia move in a fixed way. Researchers have now demonstrated a technique for creating magnetic cilia that can …
