Stevia-based sweeteners are natural sweeteners extracted from the stevia plant, known for their high sweetness levels with little to no calories. New research from the…
Researchers have found an effective new method for removing carbon dioxide from the ocean. It could be implemented by ships that would process seawater as…
Scientists in China have proposed and realized a new concept—barocaloric thermal batteries based on the unique inverse barocaloric effect. With this they can extract thermal…
Greenhouse gas emissions refer to the release of harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, into the atmosphere. These emissions are a…
A new study expands on previous work that was featured in the most recent major climate report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).…
Medical gowns are garments worn by healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in medical facilities to prevent the spread of infection. These gowns are typically made…
Methane from the waste sector makes up about 20% of human-caused methane emissions. A new project from a nonprofit group, Carbon Mapper, will use NASA…
The Copernicus Carbon Dioxide Monitoring mission, or CO2M for short, is one of Europe’s Copernicus Sentinel Expansion missions and will be the first to measure…
Following unusual seismic disturbances last week in the Baltic Sea, several leaks were discovered in the underwater Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, near…
Scientists have developed a more environmentally friendly prototype device that could someday replace existing air conditioners. Summer is in full swing in the United States,…
According to a new study, we need to transform the global food system in order to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “Just shrinking the size…
Energy codes pilot study takes flight in New York The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is lending its expertise to help New York City make…
Princeton University researchers reported in a new study that unless greenhouse gas emissions are curbed, marine biodiversity may be on track to plummet to levels…
The Antarctic ozone hole reached its maximum area for the year on October 7, 2021, and ranks as the 13th largest since 1979. Scientists from…
Artist’s concept of microbial energy generation. Generating power while purifying the environment of greenhouse gases should be achievable using bacteria. In a new publication, microbiologists…
A new membrane material, pictured here, could make purification of gases significantly more efficient, potentially helping to reduce carbon emissions. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers…
