A new study headed by Professor John Speakman from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the University of Aberdeen has shown that the suggested water intake of eight 8-oz glasses of water daily (nearly 2 L/day) is too high for the real need in several situations.
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.
BRP Inc. DOO DOOO is proud to announce the launch of a new e-powertrain, the Rotax E10, bolstering its electric offering for karting. The new product was presented today at the Rotax MAX Challenge (RMC) Grand Finals in Portimao, Portugal, where the international RMC karting community was gathered.
Royal Air Force Typhoons will be powered up by 40 new electric battery ground power units following a recent trial conducted with BAE Systems on a Typhoon Squadron.
Innovative marine engineering consultancy, BAR Technologies, and front-running green maritime technology provider, Yara Marine Technologies, have announced that the ‘first cut’ of the steelwork that will form the first production run of BAR's pioneering WindWings has been completed.
A new study performed has discovered that Great Britain’s city centers differ significantly in their green attributes—like vegetation, tree cover, and the existence of parks—with possible impacts on social equity, biodiversity, and human health.
Triggered by climate change, a new model describes that water evaporating from the Arctic Ocean has been transported to the south and resulted in high snowfall in northern Eurasia in early winter and late autumn.
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.
Earth is currently in the midst of a mass extinction, losing thousands of species each year. New research suggests environmental changes caused the first such event in history, which occurred millions of years earlier than scientists previously realized.
A 'simple' tweak to perovskite solar cells during the fabrication stage could help to unlock the untold potential of the renewable energy source, claims research from the University of Surrey.
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.
Researchers at Johannes Kepler University, Austria, have been focusing on the development of sustainable materials to replace nondegradable materials in electronics.
