	Integrated system developed for ice storage cooling and seawater desalination Conventional methods of seawater desalination include multi-effect desalination (MED), reverse osmosis (RO), and freezing desalination (FD). Some of these methods consume a lot of energy, while others produce relatively poor water quality. Therefore, there is potential for improvement in these conventional desalination methods.
	Study proposes prediction model that could make eco-friendly bamboo a mainstream construction material Scientists at the University of Bristol have successfully used screws as connectors in bamboo without splitting the material.

	Simulation of O2-blown co-gasification of wood chip and potato peel for producing syngas Syngas, short for synthesis gas, holds immense potential for further synthesis of various fuels and chemicals, and is environmentally sustainable and economically viable. Currently, non-renewable fossil fuels like natural gas and coal are the main components for syngas production via steam methane reforming or coal gasification, respectively. However, both conversion technologies are energy-intensive and highly polluting. Thus, the complete or partial replacement of fossil fuels for syngas production is a necessity.
