Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a carbonization method for converting waste paper into pure carbon, which could be used in lithium-ion batteries.
Throughout the world, a constant increase in grasslands has been noticed as a result of global change-induced extreme droughts. Severe droughts help in considerably decreasing current-year grassland productivity. However, they also have a legacy impact on productivity in the following years.
At the University of Konstanz, the Plant Physiology and Biochemistry research group has found earlier unidentified molecular mechanisms by which plants tend to adapt to their surroundings. It is a significant basic knowledge during times of climate change.
According to TU/e scientists Heleen de Coninck (climate policy) and Pieter Pauw (climate finance), the establishment of a climate damage fund for underprivileged nations and an official warning to commercial banks to act more about climate change are the high points of the Egyptian climate summit.
From September to October of 2015, a 60-person team were gathering on the Guliya ice cap in the Kunlun Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau, with the purpose to retrieve the world's oldest ice.
In late June and early July 2021, the heat wave that struck western North America was not just any midsummer event. For more than nine days, from British Columbia through Washington and Oregon and beyond, the temperature surpassed average regional temperatures for the period by 10°C (18°F), and on single days in few locales, by an incredible 30°C or 54°F.
As precipitation patterns shift in response to climate change, scientists must understand how this change affects soil viruses. In this study, scientists analyzed DNA viruses in three grassland soils with different historical precipitation patterns: low precipitation from eastern Washington, intermediate precipitation from Kansas, and high precipitation from Iowa.
SC Johnson Professional is launching a new washroom soap dispenser made from recovered coastal plastic. The SCJ Professional® Proline WAVE 1 litre washroom soap dispenser is made from 70% recovered coastal plastic, which is post-consumer recycled waste plastic collected on land within 31 miles of an ocean so that it does not reach oceans or landfills.
Researchers say that the Chilean Andes could face marked snow loss and roughly 10% less mountain water runoff with a global warming of approximately 2.5 degrees Celsius over the next 30 years. The study has implications for the California Sierra Nevada and highlights the need for carbon mitigation.
“Steam usually maintains a high pressure and temperature in our assignments, but in the beautiful church of Kättilstad in Östergötland Sweden, the pressure is no higher than under the lid of a kettle on the stove when everything is as it should be. That was the challenge,” says Johan Söderberg at FVB, who has worked on a somewhat unusual project.
