Waste textiles from sailing boats could be given a new lease of life as a result of a research project upcycling plastic fibers from sails into new chemicals such as vanillin – the compound used in cosmetics and food products for a vanilla flavour and smell.
Microbes that live in tree bark are sucking greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, making trees an even more critical part of combating climate change than scientists previously thought, according to a study published today in Nature.
As the name suggests, most electronic devices today work through the movement of electrons. But materials that can efficiently conduct protons — the nucleus of the hydrogen atom — could be key to a number of important technologies for combating global climate change.
Recent research carried out by Heriot-Watt University’s Research Centre for Carbon Solutions, published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, suggests that by combining carbon capture technologies with financial incentives, the steel industry can not only reduce its carbon footprint but also become profitable by using lower-grade iron ore.
Researchers from Iowa State University analyzed the effects of employing anaerobic digestion to generate renewable natural gas from grassy biomass in various contexts and from different angles.
In a recent study published in the journal Joule, researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the various strategies proposed earlier by scientists on the production of green hydrogen from unpurified saltwater.
Scientists are closer to giving the next generation of solar cells a powerful boost by integrating a process that could make the technology more efficient by breaking particles of light—photons—into small chunks.
In a recent study in Nature Sustainability, researchers explored how urban microgrid planning can enhance city resilience, well-being, and equity against diverse threats such as natural disasters and cyber-attacks.
