Natural greenhouse gas emissions from streams and lakes are strongly linked to water discharge and temperature according to a new study led by Linköping University, Sweden.
Synthesis gas and battery power from sunlight energy
Plants use photosynthesis to harvest energy from sunlight. Now researchers have applied this principle as the basis for developing new sustainable processes which in the future may produce syngas (synthetic gas) for the large-scale chemical industry and be able to charge batteries.
Honey, the 3D print–I mean, dessert–is ready!
Cooking devices that incorporate three-dimensional (3D) printers, lasers, or other software-driven processes may soon replace conventional cooking appliances such as ovens, stovetops, and microwaves. But will people want to use a 3D printer -- even one as beautifully designed as a high-end coffee maker -- on their kitchen counters to...
Uracil found in Ryugu samples
Samples from the asteroid Ryugu collected by the Hayabusa2 mission contain nitrogenous organic compounds, including the nucleobase uracil, which is a part of RNA.
New Simulation Reveals Secrets Of Exotic Form Of Electrons Called Polarons
A new leaf has turned in scientists' hunt for developing cutting-edge materials used in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV's, touchscreens, and more.
UC Irvine-Led Team Is First to Detect Neutrinos Made by a Particle Collider
In a scientific first, a team led by physicists at the University of California, Irvine has detected neutrinos created by a particle collider.
Study Confirms Nitrate Can Draw Uranium Into Groundwater
Eight years ago, the data was sound but only suggestive, the evidence strong but circumstantial.
Solar industry feeling the heat over disposal of 80 million panels
Renewable energy experts have come up with an environmentally-friendly plan to dispose of solar panels at the end of their life.
3000+ billion tons of ice lost from Antarctic Ice Sheet over 25 years
Scientists have calculated that the fastest changing Antarctic region?-?the Amundsen Sea Embayment?-?has lost more than 3,000 billion tonnes of ice over a 25-year?period.??
Large survey for exotic pet owners reveals concern for conservation
When exotic species such as parrots, snakes, monkeys, or aquarium fishes are kept as pets, this may lead to unsustainable trade and impact negatively the conservation of these species globally. Understanding what drives demand among keepers may help inform adequate conservation strategies to address unsustainable trade.
