For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

What does it take to make research catch up with climate change?
The Arctic regions hold crucial information about the environmental impact of rising temperatures. Calving glaciers and treacherous territories make it a life-threatening mission to collect it though.
As autonomous technologies improve, drones, boats and rovers are increasingly being deployed in place of humans to sample, monitor and manage marine and aquatic systems. However, as costs can range in the millions, the value these technologies can provide researchers is relevant to their cost. That is why Daniel F. Carlson and Claus Melvad put it to a group of engineering students at Aarhus University in Denmark to design a low-cost, lightweight and replicable drone for accompanying them on missions to Greenland. In this episode, we take a look at the Naval Operating Research Drone Assessing Climate Change (NORDACC) and discuss how open-source principles coupled with citizen science could accelerate climate change research - and results.

Reducing CO2: Using open-source technologies to scale the power of nature 26:39

5 weeks geleden26:39

26:39

Much like plants can turn carbon into energy, researchers have been striving to scale the potential of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Promising as the technology may be, little progress has been made to scale its potential. If the net human-caused CO2 reduction target of 45 % from 2010 levels is to be reached by 2030, the science must be shared. That is the notion that propelled Prof. Dr. Jennifer Strunk and Dr. Nikolaos Moustakas PhD , former research colleagues at the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT), to open-source their High-Purity Gas-solid Photoreactor design . In this episode, we journey to Rostock in the north of Germany to see the reactor in action and to unfold the possibilities and limitations of reducing carbon using the power of nature.

Did you know that honey bees dance? When honey bees return to the colony from foraging, they share info about their journey with their fellow honey bees by dancing. Besides getting the boogie on, however, little is known about how far honey bees go foraging and what ecological factors impact their journey, e.g. pesticide exposure. In this episode of HardwareX, Entomologist Margarita López-Uribe , Ph.D., specialised in bee species, together with Doctoral Student of Electrical Engineering, Diego Penaloza Aponte, of Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences, explain how open-source technologies and collaboration across scientific fields helped pave the way for an automated low-cost monitoring system - and what it takes to tag 6000 bees without getting stung.

Democratising Air Quality: An Open-source Solution to Filling Data Gaps in the Global South 24:22

13 weeks geleden24:22

24:22

The advancement of low-cost sensors has sparked a boom in air quality monitoring devices. From backpack add-ons to citizen bicycles, air quality devices are enabling citizens to get involved in monitoring local air quality. When looking at global air quality maps , however, the data for South America and Africa remain scarce. As primarily consumer-based products, these devices remain subject to demand and supply, limiting access to local air quality and air pollution for those who need them the most. Though the number of open-source designs is growing, incomplete and non-standardised documentation renders many viable designs unusable. In this episode, Colombia-based Engineering Physicist, MSc., Daniel Mauricio Pineda, takes us through the design of a fully documented, open-source air quality monitoring device that allows for remote data gathering and customisation.

Building A Better Mousetrap: Scaling animal wellbeing with open-source hardware 23:18

19 weeks geleden23:18

23:18

What if research labs didn't have to reinvent the wheel all the time? Rodents like mice and rats play a pivotal role in neuroscientific research. Through a process known as 'head fixation', scientists surgically implant cannulas and electrodes to measure neurophysiological activity. As mice share roughly 95% of our DNA, head fixation experiments greatly contribute to advancing our understanding of the human brain and diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. While head-fixation is common in many labs, proprietary systems are often expensive and inconsistent. This leads many labs to create ad hoc DIY systems at the risk of causing harm to the research animals and impeding the results. In this episode, we sit down with Zack (Isaac) Weaver, Ph D, to explore the ethical and design-specific considerations behind his open-source head gear fixation system . With animal well-being in mind, we explore the multi-stakeholder benefits of open-source hardware in research. Open-source hardware is a collaborative effort. A special thanks to co-authors Michael R. Tadross and S. Aryana Yousefzadeh and all the labs and members who contributed to the design by trying and testing various iterations.

A Co-benefits Approach: Preserving more than one species with open-source hardware 27:46

22 weeks geleden27:46

27:46

Did you know that our understanding of basic functions such as memory, learning and sleep is largely thanks to a giant sea slug? For more than 50 years, Aplysia Californica , a type of slug also known as the California Sea Hare, has been important for understanding how the nervous system works and for investigating the cellular and molecular basis of behaviour. As an essential resource for neurological disease research across the globe, there are large incentives to preserve the species, including sampling and storing its genetic material. This is easier said than done, as the Sea Hare's genetic material is both delicate and complicated to handle. Cryopreservation methods are simultaneously advancing too slowly, leaving researchers worrying that the field of neurophysiology is running out of time. Together with Marine Biologist Jack Koch , we take a look at a standardised open-hardware solution that allows for easy sampling and packaging of genetic material for cryopreservation research. Diving into the world of Aplysia Californica , we explore open-source hardware as a revenue stream, and how going open can benefit more than one species. The design published in HardwareX was made possible through work partly funded by the United States National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs ( ORIP ) and completed in partnership with the NIH National Aplysia Resource .

Microwaves Against Malaria: Life-saving technologies and the question of patenting. 31:52

29 weeks geleden31:52

31:52

Urgent needs require urgent solutions, but is open-source always the answer? The UN aims to eradicate malaria in all countries by 2030. However, in some parts of the world, incidents are increasing as the parasites transmitting the disease grow increasingly tolerant to treatment drugs. A novel treatment method using microwaves to kill the parasite shows promising results. One that could save both lives and economies in Africa, where a majority of malaria incidents and deaths are registered each year. With the release of an open-source portable device for studying the malaria parasite’s growth inhibition via microwave exposure , researchers hope to accelerate the development of a deployable treatment device sooner rather than later. In this episode of HardwareX, Biochemist and researcher Dr Carmenza Spadafora joins us from her home in Panama as she explains how quantum physics and technological innovation have paved the way for a potentially groundbreaking new method for malaria treatment. A patented method, Dr Spadafora shares her thoughts on why open-source might not always be the best choice.

High-tech Prosthetics: Granting locomotion to all with open-source robotics. 28:30

31 weeks geleden28:30

28:30

How inclusive are advanced prosthetics technologies? The global demand for prosthetics and orthotics is only expected to rise. Yet, access to affordable and innovative solutions varies greatly at local, national and international levels. And while 3D printing has greatly contributed to making prosthetics available in low-income and developing regions, the benefits that robotics and technological innovation bring users remain highly exclusive. This may be about to change. In an attempt to make high-tech prosthetics solutions more accessible, Professor in Biomechatronics at the University of Agder in Norway, Filippo Sanfilippo , along with his colleagues (Martin Økter, Jørgen Dale, Hua Minh Tuan, Muhammad Hamza Zafar, Morten Ottestad) have published an open-source, low-cost sensorised elastic actuator design that promises to shift innovation from the market to the commons.

The Future of Food: (Re)growing vertical farming with open-source automation 33:16

46 weeks geleden33:16

33:16

Why did high-tech farming go bust? Vertical Farming was one of the big new technologies of the early 2010s. By growing crops vertically with less water and no pesticides, big vertical farms promised to revolutionise food production. So why are the same vertical farms going bust across Europe and the US just ten years after they boomed? In this episode, we journey to Cambridge University in England to meet Vijja "Pat" Wichitwechkarn . An AI researcher working on agricultural robotics, he has developed a fully automated and scalable indoor farming system - MACARONS - published on HardwareX . In this episode, we address why vertical farming keeps missing the goal, and how open-source technologies could propel it to become the food tech solution we all hoped for.

From Gaza to Ukraine: Exploring the Glia open-source tourniquet and scaling decentralised manufacturing during conflict 32:22

1 year geleden32:22

32:22

How can we make life-saving medical equipment more accessible in areas under blockade, with low infrastructure, or with limited resources? In a time where almost every region in the world is seeing a rise in conflict, tourniquets have become increasingly necessary for avoiding excessive civilian casualties. Yet, proprietary tourniquets remain largely geared toward male military personnel, not women and children. Even if this changes, proprietary tourniquets remain expensive and largely inaccessible in regions where they are needed most. In this episode, Dr Tarek Loubani of Glia and Victoria Jaqua of Open Source Medical Supplies (OSMS) take us from Gaza to Ukraine as we explore the development, testing and scaling of the open-source tourniquet and the open-source tourniquet tester published on HardwareX .
