Environment and Climate
Nickel is required in enormous quantities for electric vehicle batteries, but its extraction and refining often requires the destruction of rainforests and the release of significant amounts of carbon. This dilemma, electric vehicle [more…]
Despite some optimism, a new study by Griffith University and a group of international academics finds that the amount of potential carbon captured by whales is insufficient to significantly influence the direction of climate change. [more…]
Grain crops may be endangered by extreme heat and drought, according to a new study. Global warming is changing seasonal patterns, increasing the frequency of extreme weather events such as intense droughts and heat waves. [more…]
What these ecologically important hairy buzzards like to eat was discovered through analysis of nearly 23.000 interactions between various bumblebee species and flowers. This information helps amateur and professional conservationists use this rigorous [more…]
Ash from the eruption of Mount Etna fell on Catania, causing the local airport to suspend operations. Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, erupted on Sunday, the main city in eastern Sicily [more…]
A repetitive infrasound sound was discovered in the stratosphere by a solar-powered balloon operation. Scientists are unsure of the source of the sound. Unidentified sounds were heard by scientists high in the Earth's atmosphere. Sandia National [more…]
Species lacking data are their blind spot for conservation. Geneticists have developed a method to detect this. They discovered that the DNA of a single animal could inform the probability of an entire species going extinct. threatened [more…]
In honor of Earth Day, it is crucial to recognize the contribution of open science to protecting our planet and advancing NASA's research efforts. Researchers like NASA's Transformation to Open Science (TOPS), which promotes openness and integrity of science [more…]
Researchers studied how a solid's pores change the way it reacts chemically with other substances. As a result, steel production could become more environmentally friendly. hydrogen compared to the standard procedure using carbon as the reactant [more…]
A low-carbon energy firm harnessing the power of waters off the coast of Scotland has received a Royal Agreement for a 30MW tidal project. Despite being fossil free, hydroelectric power has its own challenges. Initial investment cost [more…]
The company has signed a contract with Sunrock to generate power from a rooftop solar plant in Rotterdam. Sunrock and Iron Mountain, a local energy provider in the Netherlands, [more…]
Saturn Power, which has projects in the USA and Canada, was acquired by Greenwood Sustainable Infrastructure. According to the statement, Saturn Power's solar and battery development portfolios have been strategically developed by Greenwood Sustainable Infrastructure (GSI). [more…]
According to the research, a “flashing” electric latch should be able to separate ions with the same charge according to their diffusion coefficient; this can improve the energy efficiency of processes such as desalination and water purification. Sodium chloride ions [more…]
The branch of study known as interactive robotics has soon moved beyond just performing pre-programmed, repetitive tasks to more complex activities such as interacting with living things. For example, biocompatible and [more…]
According to research, more ozone-depleting substance is being released into the atmosphere globally. Despite the Montreal Protocol restricting their production for the vast majority of uses, there has been an increase in emissions of some ozone-depleting compounds, and [more…]
The most severe seismic event to hit the country since 1939 occurred on February 6, when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck southeast Turkey in the early morning hours. A 7.6 magnitude earthquake a few hours later [more…]
The earth rotates on its axis at a speed of about 1.000 miles per hour. The short answer is yes, but that doesn't tell the whole story. At the equator, the Earth's rotation speed on its axis is 1,525 feet per second, or [more…]
The 82,4-meter-long ferry has a capacity of 300 passengers and 80 vehicles, allowing it to reduce annual carbon emissions by up to 95%. The Norled boat, the world's first liquid hydrogen powered ship, was put into service. Friday [more…]
In recent years, researchers have been working to develop more effective solar technologies and environmentally friendly battery designs. Solar cells, which are devices that can store energy collected by solar cells or photovoltaic (PV) systems, [more…]
A hydrogen-powered passenger plane developed by Swiss start-up Destinus will cut the current 20-hour flight time between Europe and Australia to just over four hours. After two years of tests, the business [more…]
Microplastic particles smaller than 5 mm in diameter are found in all waterways of the world and can be harmful to humans and aquatic life. In the two-stage system created by the researchers, steel tubes and [more…]
Chinese researchers have discovered a gene that allows plants to thrive in saline soil, and they use this finding to create modified sorghum and rice plants that increase yields by at least 20% and produce more nutrients. [more…]
Following a change in legislation, commercially produced genetically modified foods can now be produced in the UK. Advocates of the technology claim it will accelerate the creation of more resilient crops that will be needed as a result of climate change. according to critics [more…]
NASA is actively monitoring a strange anomaly in the Earth's magnetic field: we're talking about a huge region of low magnetic intensity in the sky above the planet that stretches between South America and southwest Africa. South Atlantic Anomaly [more…]
Farm waste and other natural products can help the automotive and other industries be more environmentally friendly and less harmful. Lemon peel, cornstarch and almond peel are used in the automotive or construction industries. [more…]
A large hydroelectric dam or wind farm is perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about using water or wind to generate electricity. But consider a smaller scale. Italian researchers into plants [more…]
The new sorbents have three times the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the air than existing ones. The sorbent also converts carbon dioxide into sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, which can be safely retained in the oceans when exposed to seawater. International [more…]
A study led by scientists at ETH Zurich reveals for the first time how wind turbine locations will change if spatial planning regulations in Switzerland are relaxed. As little as possible in the Alps and throughout Switzerland [more…]
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography project, led by NASA and the French space agency CNES, will provide high-resolution data on fresh and salt water on Earth's surface. NASA and NASA on Friday at 03:46 [more…]
It has long been known that a strain of tuberculosis bacteria can generate electricity from hydrogen in the air. Scientists have now figured out how to do this. Researchers studying a relative of the bacterium that causes leprosy and tuberculosis have turned hydrogen into electricity. [more…]
