A new contact lens technology responds to UV light.
Transition lenses&#8211;which darken automatically in response to bright sunlight&#8211;have been available for eyeglasses for 40 years. But adapting this flexibility to contact lenses has proven challenging. Now researchers in Singapore have developed UV-responsive, or photochromic, lenses that darken when exposed to ultraviolet light, protecting the eyes against [...]]]></description>

A four-finned rotor (center) floating on a pool of water spins when exposed to sunlight.
The sun is the most abundant source of renewable energy. But all the technologies that capitalize on sunlight, including photovoltaics and biofuels, require intermediate steps and infrastructure to turn the sun&#8217;s rays into something that can be used to perform work [...]]]></description>

Scientists Use Tiny Organisms to Create Fuel, Viruses to Make Batteries
For millenniums, microbes have been a staunch technological ally. They have leavened our bread and cured our cheeses. Now, engineers are asking them to convert carbon dioxide into fuel and to build a new generation of batteries. Some of the smallest life forms with which [...]]]></description>
