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 [...]
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 [...]
A recent study has revealed a hopeful development in the struggle against global warming and ozone layer degradation. According to the study, cutting agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions is conceivable without interfering with the ozone layer’s recovery. This discovery is essential because N2O, a highly potent greenhouse gas, is in the environment at [...]
A landmark research effort from the University of Leeds revealed the full scale of the environmental impact of long-distance travel. Despite accounting for fewer than 3% of all trips taken by UK residents, travels of more than 50 miles (one way) account for a startling 70% of all passenger travel-related [...]
As temperatures in cities rise due to climate change, city developers and designers must develop effective ways to reduce urban heat. A recent study headed by UCL (University College London) academics, released in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, sheds fresh light on how various urban heat management systems affect city [...]
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is a crucial technique that is used for dangerous nitrogen oxide NOx reduction from industrial and automotive sources into harmless byproducts. Despite its extensive use, the exact mechanisms underlying this reaction remain a source of scientific controversy and ambiguity. Recent improvements in a unique technology known as [...]
A revolutionary study has discovered unexpected survival methods used by fish of coral reefs living in the warmest waters on Earth, the Arabian Gulf. This study, led by John Burt, Co-Principal Researcher at the Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences (ACCESS) at NYU Abu Dhabi, and Jacob Johansen, [...]
The building industry, particularly in quickly increasing urban areas, emits a substantial amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which cause serious health and environmental issues. A new study reveals an intriguing solution: Concrete-Nitrogen Mix, referred to as concrete nitrogenation. This approach has the potential to significantly cut NOx emissions, which would [...]
In a recent publication published in Science, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) described a new wearable fabric meant to help urban inhabitants cope with the extreme heat induced by global climate change. This innovative fabric has the potential to be used not just [...]
The Biden administration has unveiled an ambitious plan to address those critical problems amid growing worries over the effects of climate change and environmental damage. President Biden has demonstrated an enhanced dedication to environmental stability and safety through several executive orders, administrative acts, and legislative proposals. Below explore the potential effects of ten key environmental laws that the [...]
