UC San Diego-Based CAICE Focuses on Creation of Next-Generation Environment Scientists

There are many age-appropriate ways to introduce people to the idea that there are among us infinitesimal tiny particles wafting through the air at any given moment, influencing the environment around us.

Lungs-Inspired Filtering System to Remove Carbon Dioxide from Electric Power Station Smokestacks

The amazingly efficient lungs of birds and the swim bladders of fish have become the inspiration for a new filtering system to remove carbon dioxide from electric power station smokestacks before the main greenhouse gas can billow into the atmosphere and contribute to global climate change.

Stanford Scientists Determine Energy Needed for Storage of Solar and Wind Power on Grid

Renewable energy holds the promise of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. But there are times when solar and wind farms generate more electricity than is needed by consumers. Storing that surplus energy in batteries for later use seems like an obvious solution, but a new study from Stanford University suggests that might not always be the case.

NSF Center to Study Effect of Atmospheric Particles on the Environment and Climate

Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla will today announce a five-year, $20 million award from the National Science Foundation to support an innovative program of research and education on how interactions between air and sea alter the chemistry of the atmosphere to influence climate.

NPL Researchers Enhance Ocean Color Measurement Techniques Required for Ocean Health Monitoring

The Centre for Carbon Measurement at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working to improve ocean colour measurements vital for modelling climate and monitoring the health of the oceans. Colour differences (change in spectral reflectance of sunlight) in the oceans can provide a measure of phytoplankton and algae blooms - important as their chlorophyll serves as a natural sink of CO2 and also sometimes pollution.

Low Levels of PPCPs in Crops Irrigated with Recycled Sewage Water

The first study under realistic field conditions has found reassuringly low levels of pharmaceuticals and personal care products(PPCPs) in crops irrigated with recycled sewage water, scientists reported here today at the 246th National Meeting & Exposition of the AmericanChemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society.

Electric Cars Achieve Top Speeds Competing with the World's Best Gasoline-powered Cars

Already noted for saving gasoline and having zero emissions,electric cars have quietly taken on an unlikely new dimension –– the ability to reach blazing speeds that rival the 0-to-60 performance of atypical Porsche or BMW, and compete on some race courses with the world’s best gasoline-powered cars, an authority said here today at a major scientific conference.

New Technique for Improving Connections Between Stacked Solar Cells

North Carolina State University researchers have come up with a new technique for improving the connections between stacked solar cells, which should improve the overall efficiency of solar energy devices and reduce the cost of solar energy production. The new connections can allow these cells to operate at solar concentrations of 70,000 suns worth of energy without losing much voltage as “wasted energy” or heat.

Larger-Scale Manufacturing and Resulting Supply-Chain Benefits Yield Cheaper Chinese Solar Panels

A study of the photovoltaic industries in the US and China shows that China's dominance in solar panel manufacturing is not driven solely by cheaper labour and government support, but by larger-scale manufacturing and resulting supply-chain benefits.
