Solving environmental problems the holistic way
Researchers from Newcastle University and the James Hutton Institute explore how catchment systems engineering can be a holistic approach to solving some environmental problems.
One step closer to organic batteries
York University researchers have discovered a way to make lithium-powered batteries more environmentally friendly while retaining performance, stability and storage capacity.
Early Earth may have been a waterworld
The study takes advantage of a quirk of hydrothermal chemistry to suggest that the surface of Earth was likely covered by a global ocean 3.2 billion years ago.
The world faces an air pollution pandemic
Researchers say people’s lives are shortened by an average of nearly three years from different sources of air pollution
Converting nitrate-pollution into feedstock
Researchers find an efficient way to convert nitrogen found in sewage into valuable ammonia.
Piezophototronic catalysts get a boost
A new catalyst optimization technique could improve the efficiency of piezophototronic materials.
Eco-friendly perovskite solar cells made from peppermint oil and walnut aroma
A new eco-friendly perovskite solar cell improves stability and minimizes harmful solvents and lead leakage found in conventional cells.
Scientists develop a composite membrane for long-lasting zinc flow batteries
Researchers develop a composite membrane for long-lasting zinc-based flow batteries.
Old carbon reservoirs unlikely to cause massive greenhouse gas release
Data shows we don’t need to be as concerned about large methane releases from large carbon reservoirs in response to future warming; we should be more concerned about methane released from human activities.
