Abrupt climate changes can't really happen, claims a controversial paper published in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution authored by scientists in the US, UK, and Australia.
The report is polarizing since the paper opposes recent scientific endeavors to identify planetary...
Measuring emissions from vehicles is now possible using a new bottom-up model, which integrates road-level traffic data.
Scientists from the Earth and Environment department at Boston University were able to integrate large temporal dataset provided by the High Performance Monitoring...
Silver nanoparticles, used in various consumer products, were found to reduce the biomass of plants and microbes by one third, only five days after application.
The study that revealed these findings was conducted by a team at Duke University. The...
A promising new process, known as Atomic Layer Deposition, could potentially improve existing solar energy systems.
The new technique has been invented by Brian Willis, an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Connecticut and the...
Instead of using older, third-party, less efficient hybrid designs, Nissan has now come up with their own hybrid drivetrain that they say is smaller, more powerful, more efficient and more flexible than what's already on the market.
If you watch...
We may marvel at the two-wheel enclosed motorcycle balanced by twin gyroscopes, as well as by a hybrid electric vehicle's regenerative braking system which recovers the energy normally wasted during deceleration.
While regenerative braking in a hybrid electric vehicle...
Because it contains 4 atoms of hydrogen, methanol (CH4O) is generally considered a good hydrogen carrier, but has never been used in actual applications where gas is directly extracted from it and used.
A team of University of Rostock chemists...
Micro wind turbines installed in subway tunnels recover the energy lost through the friction of the trains with the air.
A team of 10 students and two teachers from Kalindi College at Delhi University is now studying, simulating and building...
A new graphene-based additive for lithium ion batteries has been launched by Cabot Corp. The company claims that their LITX G700 can effectively upgrade the energy-storing performance.
Cabot's conductive additive has been designed specially for electric vehicle usage and high-end...
Recently, China Dialogue, an independent dual-language blog with offices in San Francisco, London, and Beijing , conducted an interview with Zou Ji, the deputy director of China’s National Center for Climate Change Strategy.
According to Zou Ji, China has some...
