Three Questions to Make Informed Decisions on Responses to Anthropogenic Climate Change

While research into the Earth's processes, the climate, and its dynamics has come a long way in the last several decades, there is still more to be done, say climate researchers.

Month-Long Airborne Campaign to Build Confident and Consistent Picture of Carbon-Dioxide and Methane Fluxes

In May, a team of Goddard scientists will begin measuring greenhouse gases over the Mid-Atlantic region — an area chosen in part because it encompasses a range of vegetation, climate, and soil types that would influence the exchange of carbon dioxide and methane between the Earth and the atmosphere.

Innovative Battery Stacking Can Increase the Travel Distance of Electric Vehicles

At present, electric cars cannot be used to travel to far-away places as their batteries take up a great deal of space. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS have now stacked large cells on top of each another to provide the vehicles with more power.

Stanford Researchers Develop Advanced Electronics that are Flexible, Organic and Biodegradable

As electronics are increasingly becoming common in everyone’s lives – from smartphones to wearable sensors – so too does the constantly rising volume of electronic waste they create. A United Nations Environment Program report discovered that approximately 50 million tons of electronic waste was dumped in 2017—over 20 % more than waste in 2015.

New Study Explains Previously Unknown Carbon Preservation Mechanism

An astounding amount of carbon can be present in the soils and sediments, which is much higher than the carbon content present in the atmosphere and plants in the world collectively and represents a major potential source of carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas.

Former Congressman Bob Inglis Delivers Lecture on Climate Change and Free Enterprise at MIT

Describing himself as an "energy optimist" and a "climate realist," former U.S. Congressman Bob Inglis (R-SC) told an MIT audience on Tuesday, April 25, that solutions to address climate change are within reach, but that support from conservatives will be indispensable to moving them forward.

NRL Innovation Provides Safer Option to Lithium-Ion Batteries

A team of researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Chemistry Division have created a safer substitute to fire-prone lithium-ion batteries, which were banned for a few applications on Navy ships and other military divisions in recent times.

Light Plays a Critical Role in the Formation and Morphology of Perovskites

Perovskites are materials that have currently gained immense interest in solar energy technology as they prove to reduce the cost of solar cells to extremely low levels. Their efficiency majorly depends on the ability of individuals to control their deposition into films, however, the factors that influence the synthesis of perovskites are yet to be fully understood.
