A new powerful and low-cost technique has been devised for converting agricultural waste and used cooking oil into biodiesel, and even converting food waste and plastic to recycled products.
A team of New York-based physicists has achieved one of modern science's most sought after phenomena - a material that conducts electricity with virtually perfect efficiency in what is known as superconductivity - with new material, and at higher temperatures.
Men mainly dominate the scientific community. But some women also made significant contributions to the field of science like the women in this article.
Atmospheric scientists worldwide share how nitrogen and carbon gas emissions have significantly decreased during the pandemic weeks after lockdown measures. Results show the impact of traffic-related pollution, which researchers would typically study over several years.
Plastic-consuming organisms have been discovered years ago, yet aren't enough to efficiently rid of global plastic pollution. In a recent study, scientists combined two plastic-consuming enzymes that eat plastic up to three times faster than their natural counterparts.
Eating fish, then, seems preferable to meat. In fact, according to the Global Aquaculture Alliance, 3.1 billion people around the world now rely on fish and seafood for a fifth of their daily animal protein intake. Fish are also one of our only sources of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Popular beverage company Coca-Cola has transitioned from using virgin resin-based plastic to plastic bottles made in 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) in their brands in Norway and Netherlands.
Hydrogen fuel as a renewable source of energy is done by splitting water. A team from Virginia Tech developed a new technique to efficiently split water by chemically reassembling a catalyst.
A crater 165 feet deep in the Russian Arctic, first discovered back in July, was believed to have been caused by the explosion of a methane gas buildup.
