Co-Production in Climate Change Research: Reviewing Different Perspectives
Global environmental challenges like climate change are likewise challenging our conceptions of science, and the role of science in society. Climate science is having a growing influence on our lives – in the media, government policy, our schools or corporate...
More Hydrogen for Less: Engineering the Catalytic Performance of MoS2
Hydrogen won’t be a viable fuel source without a replacement catalyst for platinum. This MoS2 hybrid looks set to provide some realistic competition.
Slicing the Pie: How Big Could Carbon Dioxide Removal Be?
If 2°C warming by 2100 is to be prevented, it will become important to adopt strategies that not only avoid CO2 emissions, but also allow for the direct removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
A New Straightforward Protocol for the Fabrication of Multifunctional Smart Coatings
A new straightforward plasma polymerization protocol to tune wettability and chemical structure opens up a potential door for the fabrication of smart surfaces.
