MIT graduate student Emily Hanhauser demonstrates a new device that may simplify the logistics of water monitoring for trace metal contaminants, particularly in resource-constrained regions.…
Understanding the Earth’s carbon cycle has important implications for understanding climate change and the health of biospheres. But scientists don’t yet understand how much carbon…
Seasonal pumped storage project and main components. Credit: IIASA Seasonal pumped hydropower storage (SPHS), an already established yet infrequently used technology, could be an affordable…
Synthetic chemicals that were released into the environment for the first time 80 years ago have been linked to harmful health effects, and more of…
Vast amounts of valuable energy, agricultural nutrients, and water could potentially be recovered from the world’s fast-rising volume of municipal wastewater. Enough energy to power…
NASA’s Curiosity rover has obtained the mineralogical and chemical data of ancient lake deposits at Gale Crater, Mars. The present study reconstructs water chemistry of…
Scientists know little about turbulence, such as that formed from water gushing out of a pipe at high velocity. Scientists gain a deeper understanding of…
