The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007 calculated a range between 2 and 4.5 °C of temperature rise given that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles.
Scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado,...
Scientists from Northwestern University developed a method to make nanofluidic devices that can be used in batteries, water purification systems, energy harvesting and DNA sorting.
Even more interesting is the fact that the method allows cutting the device in any...
Americans have a reputation as cynical climate change deniers. Despite data that the arctic is melting, crops are dying in droves, and hurricanes are becoming larger, more frequent, and more destructive, US politicians are either afraid to discuss the...
Climate change has long been a hot topic, but the effects of climate change on US range and grazing lands is often overlooked. Soil erosion, vegetation loss, changes in the distribution of water across the area, and disrupted or...
Change is hard, and sometimes drastic, and in the case of Paris' Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, grounds for accusation. Delanoe has been trying for more than ten years to cut pollution in the City of Lights, with some amount of...
As start-ups often have to contend with, bad press seems to have been following Fisker Automotive, wild accusations of the inherent safety problems with large rechargeable batteries. In the end, even the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration ...
New York City's Freshkills Park is no longer an eyesore or olfactory assault, as it used to be a landfill. It has since been covered over with grass, trees, bushes, pretty much all the things you might expect in...
Lasers have become part of our daily lives, from consumer electronics to telecommunication and medicine, with or without us realizing. The different wavelengths at which lasers operate are what makes them so interesting, and yet not so well researched....
Technion-Israel Institute may have found a way to revolutionize the solar industry, and researchers at the Institute believe their cost-effective approach would lead to better and more efficient storage of solar energy in the form of hydrogen-based fuels. Researchers...
It is a well-known fact that lithium-ion batteries are taking over the world with the increased demand for powering electric cars. It is also very well-known, however, that the process of producing these batteries can be quite expensive and...
