Robotic Fish Detecting Water Pollution
A team of researchers at the University of Essex has received European funds worth 2.5 million pounds to complete a project to construct a robotic fish shaped like Carp able to monitor the pollution from ports.
Google Releases Free Energy Monitoring Software
Google announced free software that allows users to monitor their home electricity use and mitigate the effects of global warming, without paying anything extra for the effort.
Throwing Chemicals Into The Air – Solution to Global Warming?
Certain bright minds say we should throw trillions of mirrors into space to slow global warming. It doesn't seem like a bad idea at a first glance, but other enlightened thoughts say we should release chemicals into the air to do just that.
Breakthrough Carbon Capture Using Ionic Liquids
Founded by scientists from the University of Colorado, ION Engineering has brought in sight a new technology that uses ionic liquids - nonvolatile molten salts - to capture carbon emissions.
$300 Solarstar Uses the Sun's Heat to Cool Your Home
For all those of you living in a house, with roof and fence, the problem of cooling your residence in the summer is pretty pressing. SolarStar has thought at this niche and built a standalone cooling system, based on the Universe-aged principle of cooling by evaporation of water, getting the hot air out, and putting the colder one in.
Reducing Global Warming With a Huge Space-Mounted Mirror Shade
As scientists say nowadays that we are on a point of no return with global warming, they are also giving us solutions that could patch the problem and bring us to the pre-industrial climate.
Scientist Develops Way to Transform CO2 into Methane
Pennsylvania State University researchers found out a way to transform the messy CO2 from the atmosphere into burnable gas, with the help of the Sun. They made use of nanotechnology for this matter, and their results showed a 20 times yield, compared to other findings.
More Efficient Biomass Heater from Japanese Scientists
East Asian countries have an abundance of low efficiency, high carbon dioxide emitting heating sources. The Japanese scientists are working to develop new heating systems, with less harmful environmental impact.
Burying Waste Crops Into Deep Ocean Could Reduce Atmosphere CO2 by 15%
Low tech solutions are sometimes the best thing one can do to save the planet. For instance, a new carbon sequestration method arises through a newly published paper. The research says that this method can cut CO2 emissions by 15% per year. How is this done? Simply enough a 5th grader could understand.
Obama Changes US to Green
A long time ago, President Obama announced his agenda as very different from what we are used to. He lets us see that US economy can not only not lose, but also win from keeping environmental policies at the front.
