Future smart cloths could pack serious gadgetry

        Future clothes may be wired to charge phones and make our daily lives more convenient. Engineers are thinking about how to make the clothes lightweight and comfortable just like normal everyday clothes and still preform the same. They have to make sure the clothing will stay good through daily wear and tear and be able to run through the washer and dryer. Researchers have created shirts that change color at the touch of a smartphone screen. Researchers have also created passcode-storing clothes with threading that contains copper and silver. Instead of having keys, all you need it your shirt to do the job. Another creation are motion-sensing clothes, the key component in these sensor is buckypaper, this can train you to do certain things like play the piano, kick a soccer ball, and many other activities. There goal is to convert sunshine and motion energy into electricity, and even have body heat turn into electricity. I believe this may be an advantage for many people that tend to forget things and want something more convenient. You can get much use out of a shirt if it has all of these extras, and it is capable of doing multiple activities.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
