Manufacturing & Materials
This invention converts tissue paper waste into a high-performance, reusable water-treatment adsorbent for the removal of organic dyes and related contaminants from wastewater. The core concept is a lightweight electrospun nanoweb based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) modified with semi-crystalline nanocellulose (NC) extracted from discarded paper waste. By upcycling a common waste stream into a functional nanomaterial,
A sustainable "phygital" project that transforms dormant concrete spaces in public parks into permanent interactive landmarks. The innovation merges a weather-resilient, epoxy-painted physical infrastructure with a web application accessed via a QR code, providing a one-touch virtual dice. The zero-barrier, flat ground design is engineered to eliminate motor and sensory barriers, seamlessly integrating children,
The problem
Soil salinity threatens over 20% of irrigated land worldwide, severely reducing yields of strategic crops such as wheat, maize, and cowpea. Traditional seed treatments are either chemically intensive, not scalable, or ineffective under high salt stress. There is an urgent need for a low‑cost, eco‑friendly,
A basic parameter in precision agriculture is soil moisture, which controls the timing of irrigation, nutrient absorption, harvesting, and efficient management of water resources. Since the world is faced with a growing food demand coupled with an increasing freshwater scarcity, real-time, accurate and low-cost soil moisture monitoring has become a dire need of current agricultural systems.
Water leakage in building plumbing systems is a common and costly problem. In residential complexes, commercial buildings and multi story facilities hidden leaks inside ceilings, service shafts or walls can remain unnoticed for long periods. When these leaks are eventually discovered they often have already caused structural damage, mold growth, water waste and expensive repairs.
The Eco Green Ball initiative is inspired by the need to bridge the gap between environmental waste and public recreation. It addresses the issue of ; outdoor foosball tables in UAE parks—rendered useless when equipment is lost (BALL)—by turning fallen leaves into a resource. Inspired by the resilience of local trees like the Ghaf,
The present invention provides a modular interlocking container stacking system formed by individual support units configured to connect laterally through snap-fit pressure joints.
Each modular unit is designed to support at least one cylindrical container and includes stop features and curved support surfaces that prevent rolling or displacement.
Metals are indispensable to the modern economy and remain natural choices for structural applications due to their toughness, corrosion resistance, thermal and electrical conductivity, and recyclability. Among structural metals, aluminum is particularly important because of its high specific strength and widespread adoption across transportation, construction, electrical, electronic, aerospace, and marine sectors.
