In the 80s and early 90s, when Swans were routinely described as “the loudest experimental band in the world”, their pulverising shows would see audiences vomiting or heading for the exits. Michael Gira and cohorts have ploughed a quieter furrow since “reactivating” in 2010. However, their 16th album shows that the old intensity hasn’t deserted them, it just comes in different forms, as suggested by opener The Parasite, which builds from a gentle acoustic guitar to a cacophony of quiet noise.Written in what Gira calls the…

The latest in this series is Dyson’s new Purifier Humidify+Cool Formaldehyde, which is available to buy now…

Although we've seen a number of systems that use sunlight to purify tainted water, their output is often quite limited. A new loofah-inspired hydrogel, however, uses sunlight to treat much more water in one go … enough to meet a person's daily needs.Existing solar-still-type systems use sunlight to heat dirty water to the point that it starts evaporating.
