These particles permit the production of vacuum energy. While the concept is theoretical and based on the energy-time uncertainty principle, the vacuum energy embedded in a cubic meter of free space (that is space without any matter) has been estimated at 10 to the 113th power Joules.

Buckwheat is one of the most efficient producers of plant protein, unmatched by any other grain (even though it is classified as a fruit due to its pyramidical shape). The human body can digest 74 percent of buckwheat’s protein content...

The world market for pest controls in 2010 reached $45 billion up from $32.5 billion in 2001. The sector around the world has been expanding at above inflation rate.

The world’s biofuels market was valued at $82.7 billion in 2011 and is expected to double to $185.3 billion in 2021. In 2012 the world production of biofuels will reach 118 billion liters growing to 155 billion in 2015 coming from a baseline of 49 billion in 2006. By 2021 the total output is expected to have ballooned to 250 billion liters.

The product portfolio of contraceptives faces numerous challenges. Surgical interventions are non-reversible and therefore less popular. The consumption of synthetic hormones with a long shelf life is increasingly causing difficulties for water treatment plants.

During the course of industrialization, we have replaced our old traditions and nature-oriented production processes and the necessary knowledge was partially or even completely lost. The emerging trend of recent years to use natural composite materials is basically the modern use of traditional knowledge.

The team believes it is capable of transforming lignin to create a low-cost, renewable battery thus creating a second revenue stream from the processing of wood into paper - a battery mainly made from wood residues that today is a waste in abundance.

The Genicap team has proven the viability of the super antennas. This could imply that the number of transponder towers that dot the horizon could be significantly reduced, dramatically increasing energy and material efficiency.

This article introduces a creative approach to health management as one of the 100 innovations that shape "The Blue Economy". This article is part of a broad effort to stimulate entrepreneurship, competitiveness and employment.
