The leaf is one of nature’s most impressive little machines, able to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into energy. Scientists at Cambridge have now created a type of artificial leaf that can float on water, tapping into sunlight above it and … Continue reading Floating artificial leaves produce fuels from water, air and sunlight
Everyone should know by now that we love to follow up on projects when they make progress. It’s great to be able to celebrate accomplishments and see how a project …read more Continue reading Collaborative Effort Gets Laser Galvos Talking G-Code
Italian company Energy Dome has opened the first of its remarkable grid-level energy storage plants. These “CO2 batteries” can store renewable energy over long periods and release it quickly, at less than half the cost of big lithium batteries.Continue… Continue reading Energy Dome launches world’s first CO2 battery energy storage facility
Climate scientists have reported the highest levels of carbon dioxide ever recorded in the atmosphere. The latest in a long line of record-breaking years saw the world hit a grim new milestone of 50 percent higher than pre-industrial levels, a concentr… Continue reading Atmospheric CO2 now 50% higher than pre-industrial levels
As carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere, it won’t be enough to simply curb our emissions – we’ll need to actively remove some of what we’ve already released. In a new advance, researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new co… Continue reading World’s fastest carbon capture system claims 99% efficiency in ambient air
The last chapter in a trio of reports from the UN’s top climate scientists has landed, accompanied by a stark warning from the authors that it is now a case of “now or never” to avoid the worst effects of global warming. But the scientists also note so… Continue reading IPCC report leaves door ajar to prevent worst impacts of climate change
If you’ve ever been eaten alive by mosquitoes at a barbecue while the person sitting next to you escapes unbitten, the color of your clothes might be to blame. New experiments reveal that certain colors attract hungry mosquitoes while others are ignore… Continue reading New study reveals how the color of your shirt could attract mosquitoes
Recreating the process of natural photosynthesis in which plants turn sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into energy is a long-pursued goal in science. Often described as an “artificial leaf,” these systems could play a key role in the fight against cl… Continue reading Novel “artificial leaf” design ups the carbon capture rate by 100x
Researchers at RMIT have developed a new method for quickly converting carbon dioxide into solid carbon, which can be stored indefinitely or turned into useful materials. The technology works by bubbling CO2 up through a tube of liquid metal, and it’s … Continue reading Liquid metal catalyst quickly coverts carbon dioxide into solid carbon
A new study by the Planetary Science Institute and UCLA confirms that there are areas in the lunar south polar region where frozen carbon dioxide could exist, raising hopes that there could be significant resources to support future Moon missions.Conti… Continue reading Cold traps that could contain solid CO2 confirmed on the Moon
