Canadian Researchers Develop a Process to Convert Methane and CO2 into Useful Resources
Scientists from McGill University, one of the oldest in Canada, have discovered how to harness sunlight to transform two harmful gases, methane and carbon dioxide, into useful chemicals. In a way, this process could be considered a form of recycling…
Are Artificial Rivers the Future of Water Resource Management?
Water bodies cover about 70 percent of Earth’s surface, but how much do we truly value this precious resource? It is often said that what is abundant is taken for granted. The astonishing fact that water ecosystems make up such…
Dublin Introduces a Ban on Disposing of Waste in Plastic Bags
Dublin is facing an increasing problem of waste on city streets caused by animals, such as seagulls, tearing open plastic garbage bags. Areas in the Irish capital where waste collection in bags has been allowed so far include around 1,000…
NASA Develops Underwater Robots for Climate Change Research (VIDEO)
According to predictions, by the end of the century, the melting of Antarctic ice sheets could cause sea levels to rise by a meter or more, with serious consequences for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. However, since the behavior…
New Technology Enables Charging Wearable Devices During Running
Researchers at the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) of the University of Surrey have developed innovative nanogenerators that harness energy from everyday activities, such as running, to power wearable devices. In their study, published in the journal Science Direct, it is…
Climate change transforms Pacific Islands
A triple whammy of accelerating sea level rise, ocean warming and acidification is imperilling Pacific Islands, which face growing threats to their socioeconomic viability and indeed their very existence because of climate change. A scenic view of terraced rice fields…
How an Innovative Liquid Removes 98 Percent of Nanoplastics from Water
After a piece of plastic enters a water system, such as a sea, ocean, river, or lake, it undergoes degradation due to the influence of sunlight, wind, and water. A large piece breaks down into micro and eventually into nanoplastics.…
