Inspired by Cheerios: Scientists Develop New More Efficient Way To Capture Fresh Water From the Air
A more efficient way to capture fresh water from the air could be inspired by a phenomenon of motion first glimpsed in bowls of breakfast cereal. KAUST researchers have observed that, when water droplets condense from the air onto a cold surface coated with oil, the droplets commence a complex da

Comparison between my simulated drainage for the Isle of Man and the actual on the ground river courses. This is getting pretty good. It isn't yet perfect, but promising!
This is work towards being able to create a complete naturalistic environment from either just a heightmap, or a combination of a heightmap, a rainfall map, and soil permeability map.

Sustainable Chemistry Achieved: Scientists Develop Organic Framework Material That Mimics Photosynthesis
Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have created a microporous covalent organic framework with dense donor–acceptor lattices and engineered linkages for the efficient and clean production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through the photosynthesis process with water and air. Tradi
