Apps - and anything else that is programmed - can actually be more or less efficient and require more or less power to perform their tasks. A group of researchers focuses on that exact point: making sure the software on everything that surrounds us is coded as efficiently as possible.

Researchers constructed a photovoltaic cell that harvests energy from the environment during the day and night, avoiding the need for batteries altogether. The device makes use of the heat leaking from Earth back into space - energy that is on the same order of magnitude as incoming solar radiation.

Researchers developed a new type of coating that could limit the flammability of wood used in construction, potentially providing more time to escape fires and also curbing their spread. The environmentally friendly flame retardant could also be used for other flammable materials, such as textiles, polyurethane foam and 3D-printed parts.
