Nine different ways of using technologies based on microbes that can make space research more circular and generally more sustainable.
Results for "climate crisis"
Whales are giving up singing to attract mates
As humpback whale populations increase, two decades worth of data finds they are shifting from singing to fighting as their preferred mating strategy.
Sea meadows could help save coasts from erosion
Seagrass roots make underwater sand more resistant to strong waves and reduce coastal erosion by 70%.
Facial mask used to improve solar cells quality
A new manufacturing technique to grow perovskite crystals for high-performance solar cells uses “face masks” to minimize imperfections.
Ahead of COP27, scientists are pushing back against growing defeatism
A lot is riding on COP27, and while many are feeling the pull of cynicism, there are still many reasons to remain optimistic.
New material is a game changer in radiative cooling
A new coating designed for sub-ambient radiative cooling could help combat global warming by curbing energy use.
How biogas from human waste will lead to energy independence
Chicken feathers enhance the quality of biogas produced from human waste, allowing impoverished communities to generate their own power.
