A leading ecologist has been appointed to head a major new inter-disciplinary environmental research centre at the University of York.
In future, mining companies will have to invest more heavily in environmental protection and occupational safety in order to maintain their future viability and long-term profitability.
What potential is there for replacing resources of fossil origin with raw materials of vegetable origin, and for which industrial applications? How to combine chemistry with environmental protection? How to encourage “gr...
Sutterlin Technologies, a new company based at The University of Alabama (UA), is using its patent-pending biodegradable technology to eliminate the brown codling moth, an insect, from farms in an environmentally friendly manner.
Dr. Scott Rickert, President and CEO of Nanofilm, is a speaker at the NanoBusiness Conference/NYC nanotechnology conference, April 20, 2010, in New York City. His topic is “Nano-izing Today's Surfaces to Solve Energy, Environmental, And Waste Problems.”
Two teams based at the Barcelona Knowledge Campus, one from the University of Barcelona (UB) and one from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), have worked with a group from the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany) to develop a new solid material that produces a caloric effect under hydrostatic pressure (solid-state barocaloric effect). The research is described in an article published in the scientific journal Nature Materials and was inspired by guidelines in the Kyoto protocol on renewing current refrigeration systems based on the compression of harmful gases.
Phosphonics announced today that it has received an additional £3.5m (US$5.75m) million funding.
This new capital will allow the company to expand its core team, accelerate the launch of the precious metal scavenger product range in numerous international markets, and continue the development of further industrial applications based on the company’s proprietary chemistry to make functionalised silicas.
An improved method for sustainable pest control using "super-sexed" but sterile male insects to copulate with female ones is being developed by agricultural researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The scientists thus hope to offer yet another efficient and promising avenue for supplying produce to the market by eliminating pests without damage to the environment.
Chemicals that helped solve a global environmental crisis in the 1990s — the hole in Earth’s protective ozone layer — may be making another problem — acid rain — worse, scientists are reporting.
As engineers and energy companies develop plans for alternative energy production that will allow humans to continue to pursue otherwise unsustainable consumption patterns, Steve Luoni attacks the problem of limited resources from a radically different angle.
