Scientists explain why sea ice around Antarctica is becoming thicker despite the rise in global temperatures in a new study published in the latest issue of Nature Geoscience.
During the summer months, ice sheets melt and cause upwelling of fresh water....
According to recent research published in Nature Climate Change earlier this week, The Arctic is about to become 'greener' due to global rise in temperatures.
The team, led by Richard Pearson, a research scientist at the American Museum of Natural...
A brand new batch of LED lamps have been unveiled recently by Lighting Science Group Corporation with the hope that they would be the eventual replacement for conventional lighting systems.
The LED lamp, known as the Definity Professional A19 LED...
25% of human-made carbon dioxide and 70% of human-made nitrous oxide being released into the atmosphere comes directly from agriculture. Much of the problem lies in the cropping sequences, tillage, and use of nitrogen fertilizers, all of which raise...
While pretty much everyone agrees that more electric vehicle charging stations are necessary, not everyone agrees which connector or charging protocol should be used.
Often in the beginning stages of a new technology, there will be different approaches to achieve...
China expects to resume electric vehicle incentives sometime in the next couple of months, which will help defray the extra cost of buying more expensive electric vehicles.
The last series of Chinese electric vehicle incentives ran from 2010 through 2012....
Last year, new automobile emissions regulations focused on fuel consumption, but this year's proposal is addressing the fuel itself.
Carbon dioxide isn't the only product of the combustion of gasoline. Sulfur dioxide can also form at high temperatures in the...
The basics of a fully functional hydrogen economy have to include both efficient and inexpensive hydrogen generators and fuel cells.
Electrolytic cells generate hydrogen and oxygen gas from water using an electric current. They are not particularly efficient however, as...
An innovative technology by engineers at Stanford functions like an air-conditioning system, but it is made of nanostructured photonic materials. The so-called "passive solar radiator" can cool any building even when the sun is shining brightly.
According to the researchers,...
A study published in the latest issue of Science, reveals that tree root fungi sequester most of the carbon in the northern boreal forests.
The findings contradict the conclusions from previous research, which indicate that sequestration happens via dead needles,...
