The United Nations organization responsible for international marine shipping today approved new emission reduction policies. A new paper published in Earth's Future highlights the need.
As the demand for innovative materials continues to grow—particularly in response to today's technological and environmental challenges—research into nanomaterials is emerging as a strategic field. Among these materials, ...
A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level.
The manufacturing and deployment of hybrid and electric vehicles is on the rise, contributing to ongoing efforts to decarbonize the transport industry. While cars and smaller vehicles can be powered using lithium batteries, ...
Research led by the Union of Concerned Scientists reports that emissions from the world's largest fossil fuel and cement companies have contributed significantly to both present-day and long-term sea level rise. Products ...
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions is crucial in the fight against climate change. But current methods, like chemical absorption, are expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists have long eyed graphene—an ...
Sweden's recycling centers are overflowing with clothes after an EU-wide ban this year on throwing away textiles, leaving overwhelmed municipalities eager to have fast fashion giants take responsibility.
Scientists trying to discover the elusive mass of neutrinos, tiny "ghost particles" that could solve some of the universe's biggest mysteries, announced a new limit on Thursday for how much they could weigh, halving the previous ...
Laser plasma acceleration is a potentially disruptive technology: It could be used to build far more compact accelerators and open up new use cases in fundamental research, industry and health. However, on the path to real-world ...
Nearly three-fourths of Earth is covered by oceans, making the planet look like a pale blue dot from space. But Japanese researchers have made a compelling case that Earth's oceans were once green, in a study published in ...
