Pomelo peels make up roughly 45% of the overall weight of the fruit and are frequently discarded as agricultural trash. This trash has an environmental impact and pollutes the environment; thus, it ...

We also found that, thanks to pomelo peel’s naturally porous structure, triboelectric devices based on it can be highly sensitive to force and force frequency. This inspired us to develop ...

Researchers have used waste pomelo-peel biomass to power small electric devices and monitor biomechanical motions. The method was developed by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana ...

And the inspiration came from an unexpected source - the peel of the pomelo fruit (Citrus maxima). Pomelo fruits have a mass of one to two kilograms, but are able to withstand impact forces ...

it lets the pomelo take a pummeling. A 4-pound fruit can fall 30 feet and land without splitting open because its peel has a composite structure that absorbs the impact. And now, that fruit has ...
