A new bioinspired earthworm robot for future underground exploration

Soft Robot Inspired by Earthworms Created by IIT-Italian Institute of Technology

Soft Robot Inspired by Earthworms Created by IIT-Italian Institute of Technology

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) in Genoa have created a new soft robot that is inspired by the biology of earthworms. This soft robot is able to crawl thanks to soft actuators that are able to elongate or squeeze when air passes through them or is drawn out.

The innovative design of the soft robot allows it to perform a variety of tasks and gives it the capability to move within confined spaces like those found on a factory floor or in a hazardous environment. Furthermore, the robot can be easily adapted for different applications by adjusting the number and position of its actuators.

The soft robot is yet another example of the amazing possibilities offered by robotics and is sure to revolutionize the field in the near future.

Almost all cobalt can be recycled using new method requiring less energy with little environmental impact

Researchers Create More Eco-Friendly Trick to Retrieve Cobalt from Used Lithium-ion Batteries

Researchers Create More Eco-Friendly Trick to Retrieve Cobalt from Used Lithium-ion Batteries

Researchers at Linnaeus University have developed a more environmentally friendly way of retrieving cobalt from used lithium-ion batteries. With a liquid solvent made of readily available substances, derived from urine and acetic acid, over 97 percent of the cobalt can be recovered. The researchers see good potential for large-scale application.

The new solvent is composed of ammonia and a source of acetate, both of which are derived from urine and acetic acid. This isn't the first time urine has been used for environmentally friendly methods; its high ammonium content makes it an ideal source for extracting cobalt.

The cobalt extraction process is expensive and highly energy intensive, so this method of extraction is both cost-effective and energy-saving. It also uses chemicals that are much safer for the environment compared to traditional methods.

The team aims to improve the solvent's performance even further to allow for the extraction of other valuable metals such as nickel, manganese and molybdenum. They also plan to investigate potential applications in other industries, such as the production of fuel cells and batteries.

This research demonstrates the viability of using sustainable, natural methods to recover metals from used lithium-ion batteries. The researchers' method is a significant step forward in creating a more sustainable future.
