Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a game-changing solar-powered desalination technology that could transform access to fresh water in coastal and island nations. The researchers developed a highly efficient technology that uses solar power to convert seawater into drinking water via evaporation. This breakthrough arrives at a critical [...]
Plant Stem cell research has long been the pioneer of medical science, with the potential to revolutionize therapies for various human ailments. Most people connect the term “stem cells” with humans or animals, however, a growing body of evidence indicates that plants also include stem cells. Plant stem cells may hold the secret to [...]
Scientists at the Fritz Haber Institute’s Interface Science Department found a revolutionary process for transforming carbon dioxide into ethanol. According to a significant paper published in Energy & Environmental Science recently. This development could lead to sustainable and economically viable alternatives to fossil fuels. As transforming Carbon Dioxide into ethanol [...]
The built environment, which includes buildings, highways, bridges, and other infrastructure, accounts for about 40% of embodied carbon. These emissions are a major source of climate change, prompting politicians and business leaders to focus on developing more energy-efficient structures. However, Ming Hu, Associate Dean for Research at the University of [...]
A new study recently revealed the important role that the Atlantic-Arctic water mixing plays in sustaining the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical component of the Earth’s climate system. This study, led by researchers from the University of Southampton, the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, the National Oceanography Centre, [...]
A recent study at the University of São Paulo uncovers the underestimated value of sustainable agriculture systems regarding GHG emissions in Brazil. Novel research, done by scientists from the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture – CENA-USP and Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture – ESALQ-USP, has explored the contribution [...]
In a society that is becoming more aware of the influence of greenhouse gases on climate change, creative methods to manage and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are required. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have created a novel biomass-based polymer capable of repeatedly capturing and releasing CO2, suggesting [...]
Newcastle University researchers have invented a revolutionary humidity-driven membrane that uses ambient energy to efficiently remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. This innovative method addresses the essential difficulty of direct air capture (DAC), which has been named one of the “Seven Chemical Separations to Change the World.” The novel [...]
Overview of the Phosphorus Cycle: Phosphorus, a key ingredient for plant development, is an essential component of fertilizers. Farmers can assure plant health and increase crop yields with enough phosphorus, so knowing the Earth’s phosphorus cycle is critical for global food security. Northwestern University researchers recently discovered a previously undiscovered [...]
As worldwide temperatures rise, cities around the world are dealing with the issue of urban heat islands, in which concrete and asphalt amplify summer heat. A new study conducted by academics from the University of Surrey and Southeast University (China) demonstrates that rural belts around cities can dramatically lower urban [...]
