4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn’t Hear About This Week - Episode 28

The video explores four innovative research projects. First, researchers use shrink films to create strong, durable grippers for soft robotics. Next, a novel anti-ice coating is developed to prevent ice accumulation on large surfaces. Then, a method to produce hydrogen from industrial wastewater using sunlight is introduced. Finally, the impact of tree cover on urban temperatures is analyzed, showing significant cooling effects with sufficient tree density.

What percentage of tree cover is needed on a city block to achieve optimal cooling?

What temperature difference can heavy tree cover make in urban areas?
