It’s easy to feel hopeless in the face of climate change, but it’s not too late to do something about it – after all, we’ve stepped up to similar challenges before. New modeling shows just how much worse the situation would be if CFCs hadn’t been banne… Continue reading “World Avoided” model charts climate cost if we’d ignored ozone hole
According to a new report issued by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human-caused climate change will have dire consequences over the next 20 years. And while some of the damage could be mitigated, it will take a lo… Continue reading Reality check: UN climate change report drives home need for urgent action
Carbon dioxide may finally get its chance to become a solution in the climate crisis. Italy’s Energy Dome says its CO2 batteries will store energy at less than half the cost of lithium “big batteries,” while also being very responsive to load demand.Co… Continue reading Energy Dome uses carbon dioxide as a grid-scale battery
Something is making methane on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. A new study has found that methane levels detected from the icy moon are far higher than can be explained by known geochemical processes – but they are consistent with microbes.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Methane in plumes from Saturn’s moon could be signs of microbial life
Researchers have created an unusual new alloy made up of not two, but five different metals, and put it to work as a catalyst. The new material is two-dimensional, and was able to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide effectively, potentially hel… Continue reading New five-metal alloy makes for 2D catalyst to convert CO2 into fuels
In many countries, long, dark winters limit the amount of solar energy that can be generated for much of the year. That’s where the Underground Sun Conversion system comes in, as it’s intended to use sunlight to help produce natural gas deep undergroun… Continue reading Underground Sun Conversion tech uses sunlight to produce natural gas
Concrete has a massive carbon footprint, so technologies that boost its performance and enable it to last longer could have profound benefits for the environment. This has led to the development of self-healing concrete that can repair its own cracks, … Continue reading Self-healing concrete eats CO2 to fill its own cracks in 24 hours
Scientists measuring concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere at the Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory have reported the highest levels on record, and ones not seen on Earth in more than four million years. The average atmospheric CO2 levels of… Continue reading Atmospheric CO2 levels defy the pandemic to hit record high
[Lucas] over at Cranktown City on YouTube has been very busy lately, but despite current appearances, his latest project is not a welder. Rather, he built a very clever gas …read more Continue reading Clever Gas Mixer Gets Just the Right Blend for Homebrew Laser Tubes
Have you ever wondered how many bubbles there are in your Friday knockoff beer? No? Well scientists apparently have, and in a new study they’ve finally answered the question nobody’s been asking, with a vague “a lot, we guess.”Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Scientists calculate the number of bubbles in a glass of beer
