Building new reservoirs can have unexpected consequences on water security
Any discussion about the role of new reservoirs must focus on the creation of new unsustainable demand.
Overcoming electrical current leaks in modern memory devices
A new device significantly decreases unwanted current leakage from memory devices, which could help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of future data centers.
A natural way of turning off the carbon dioxide tap, California style
A new report outlines in quantitative detail the range of options, trade-offs, and costs to guide future policies in achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.
Detailed study of leopard genome finds surprising levels of diversity
Leopards, it would seem, are the kings of flexibility and adaptability in the big cat kingdom — lazy human aphorisms be damned.
Effects of increased weather variability on weed management
Researchers explore how the predicted increase in variable rainfall and higher temperatures will impact management of common weeds for corn production.
Improving Li-ion battery performance using 3D printing
Increasing the mass of an electrode reduces power density due to the longer distance that ions and electrons must travel. Electrode designs need a rethink.
Today’s green investment is tomorrow’s emission reduction — models must grasp this
How ignoring the dynamics of the energy transition leads to overestimating transition cost and unjustified delay of climate action.
Challenges in establishing eco-cities within urban agglomeration
Urbanization is threatening global water supplies, but finding a way to balance expansion with sustainable water management between nature, people, and the city water infrastructure.
War on plastic is distracting from more urgent threats to environment, experts warn
