The company has worked closely with Texfelt to create a unique insulation product for mushroom polytunnels.
A research team from Washington State University has discovered that nanoparticles of the increasingly used plastics move along with the water supply, specifically in freshwater, or reach wastewater treatment plants, eventually ending up as landfills, sludge, and often as fertilizers.
The unprecedented intensity of the recent fires here in Australia has meant we are leaning heavily on the science community to help understand and predict the future behaviour and spread of bushfires.
A new study by researchers at the University of Reading reports that very small changes to the climate in a few parts of the world can be more apparent than more pronounced changes elsewhere.

Despite a rainfall decrease in Western Australia’s wheatbelt between 1900 and 2016 which has shifted wheat yield potential southwest by an average of 70km, actual wheat yields have remained unchanged.
Experts in aquifer and groundwater springs are pumping their energy into conserving the delicate balance of water flow through the environmentally important Doongmabulla Springs Complex (DSC) in the Carmichael Basin in Queensland.
Plastic waste in the ocean is making its way back to land and increasing pollution on Australia’s beaches, according to new research from CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency.
At Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and Michigan State University (MSU), long-term field research carried out by scientists demonstrates that biomass fuels derived from several kinds of grass could considerably decrease global warming by reducing carbon.
Senix is excited to announce that have expanded our line of Serial Only sensors, formerly our REMOTE line of sensors, to include every model of our ToughSonic level and distance sensors.
A recent innovation in splitting water into its parts can enable renewable energy to pay off, even when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing.
Plastics are user-friendly, versatile, and highly economical to such an extent that the earth is flooded with plastic waste. This makes them a victim of their own success.
