Scientists Report New Technique to Reduce Carbon Emissions

The ongoing fraud investigation into the nearly $7 billion Mississippi clean coal plant has sparked debate on whether carbon capture is a viable technology. But to lesser fanfare, other industrial efforts to keep carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere are moving forward successfully. Now scientists report in ACS’ journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research a new approach to accomplishing this while also cleaning up waste from the marble industry.

Summer Heatwaves Causing Potential Pathogenic Bacteria to Spread

When the water temperatures increase in the North and Baltic Seas, the chances of potentially pathogenic bacteria emerging increases. Researchers at AWI have discovered proof of living, potentially pathogenic vibrions surviving on microplastic particles for the first time. Going forward, they plan to explore in depth the role of these particles on the buildup and likely distribution of these bacteria.
