NASA is trying out virtual reality as a way of speeding up astronauts' training and making tasks more efficient. With less training time, the astronauts will have more time to devote to other activities on board the station.

Looking for more efficient ways to convert woody biomass like corn stalks into liquid fuel, researchers have turned to the gribble, a small notorious wood-boring species, for inspiration.
Plant's photosynthesis machinery is tuned to absorb red and blue light most efficiently. In the future, plant factories will probably be "pinkhouses," glowing magenta from the mix of blue and red LEDs.

Transparent soils could be used to screen the root systems of a range of genotypes. This would help breed crops with more efficient root systems so that agriculture can rely less on fertilizers.

The Great White, one of the most feared predators on earth, is an incredibly efficient hunter. Scientists have yet to understand the drive behind their feeding behavior.
The ostrich may look ungainly, yet they run quickly and efficiently. The secret is their springiness - ostrich tendons store twice as much "elastic energy" per step as we do.

Its simple yet contemporary design creates a stunning effect. It combines two intersecting arcs and a square prism – and this makes the building more efficient.
