Scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center established that the ozone layer has not begun to recover despite the ban on the use of ozone-depleting chemicals. With the help of satellite data, the team was able to monitor changes...
The most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) determined without a shadow of a doubt that human economic activity is responsible for global warming. Even some of the largest insurance companies in the world have blamed huge...
Having properties that do not degrade in a similar fashion as paper or plastic, aluminum is the best known candidate for recycling and reusing. Not only does the act of recycling aluminum require 95% less energy than producing new material from bauxite...
One of the big concerns among those skeptical of EV's is the necessity to constantly use charging station's in order to "refuel." To help begin putting this argument to rest, the power and automotive company Eaton has taken the first...
Purchase agreements for wind farms and solar projects in the United States continue to grow at the cost for wind energy and solar power decreases. 25% of all contracts for wind power are in Texas and they are regularly below...
Scientists from University of Toronto discovered that the gas perfluorotributylamine (PFTBA), which has been widely used in the electrical industry for the past half a century, is 7,000 times stronger than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere....
Wouldn't it be great if there was a bicycle that not only did not generate any pollution, but actually removed any unwanted gases that come its way and generated oxygen just as plants do? The guys at Lightfog creative...
French researchers discovered a new method to produce hydrogen much cheaper and more effectively than any other currently known technique. By adding aluminium oxide, the team was able to achieve an acceleration of the natural process of producing the gas...
A quiet little company with big problems, Envia Systems, originally developed a lithium-ion battery with an astounding 400Wh/kg energy density. Garnering millions of dollars in government and corporate investment, it seems that Envia Systems was well on its way to...
Researchers have been finding numerous possible applications for the wonder-material called graphene, but mass-production has, so far, escaped them. So far, graphene production in small quantities has been found to be most efficient on particles of copper, smaller than 1µm...
