Scientists build a spatial atlas of the chloroplast proteome, the home of photosynthesis
Plants and algae convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This process is vital for life on Earth and provides us with oxygen, food, fuels, and other valuable products. Photosynthesis occurs inside the cells, in structures ca.....»»
Renewable energy through photo-electrochemistry
Photo-electrochemistry (PEC) holds the potential to convert renewable energy such as solar light into useful green fuels. However, most known PEC materials suffer from instability issues, which are difficult to track and cause a decrease in their per.....»»
Team examines importance of zeolite in catalysts for syngas conversion
The fuels used today depend heavily on petroleum. As the demand grows, scientists are looking for ways to produce fuels that do not require petroleum. A research team set out to examine the role of zeolites in the conversion of synthetic gas to fuels.....»»
Raw material requirements for reducing global poverty calculated by weight for the first time
Today, 1.2 billion people live in poverty. To lift them out of it, an average of about six tons of raw materials are needed per person and year—in particular minerals, fossil fuels, biomass and metal ores. This is the result of a study published in.....»»
Scientists reveal what fuels wildfires in Sierra Nevada Mountains
Wildfires in California, exacerbated by human-driven climate change, are getting more severe. To better manage them, there's a growing need to know exactly what fuels the blazes after they ignite. In a study published in Environmental Research Letter.....»»
Tröger"s base derived 3D-porous aromatic frameworks for near-unity selectivity of CO2 photoconversion
The global energy crisis is exacerbated by the continuous consumption of fossil fuels during the rapid development of modern industries. In addition, the survival and development of human beings is also being seriously affected by the emission of gre.....»»
Chameleon-inspired coating could cool and warm buildings through the seasons
As summer turns to fall, many people will be turning off the air conditioning and firing up heaters instead. But traditional heating and cooling systems are energy-intensive, and because they typically run on fossil fuels, they aren't sustainable. No.....»»
California sues oil giants, alleging climate-risks deception
The US state of California sued five of the world's largest oil companies on Friday, alleging the firms caused billions of dollars in damages and misled the public by minimizing the risks from fossil fuels, according to a court filing......»»
Faster disaster: Climate change fuels "flash droughts", intense downpours and storms
The run of extreme weather events around the world seems to be never-ending. After the northern summer of extreme heat and disastrous fires, we've seen more exceptional autumn weather over Europe with record-breaking heat in the UK......»»
Pace of increase in CO2 concentration has increased three-fold: report
The pace at which the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing—due mostly to the burning of fossil fuels—has jumped three-fold in five decades, an international report said Wednesday......»»
New catalyst decreases the energy required to split hydrogen gas from water
Hydrogen gas is a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels, but current industrial production methods used to produce hydrogen release carbon into the atmosphere and pollute the environment......»»
Fermentation processes for the production of biohydrogen as an alternative energy carrier
Hydrogen is considered a clean and efficient energy carrier that will have broad applications in the future—as a fuel for cars, buses, for houses heating, or as an energy storage. However, it is currently mainly produced from fossil fuels. In order.....»»
The kitchen is key to improving indoor air quality, say experts
Indoor air pollution generated by cooking fuels such as charcoal and wood causes approximately four million premature deaths every year—a tragic statistic that Surrey's renowned Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) is aiming to address with.....»»
Nanocomposite-based electrocatalyst for alkaline overall water splitting at low cell voltage for hydrogen production
The diminishing conventional energy resources based on fossil fuels and their related environmental consequences have drawn attention around the world toward the development of renewable energy resources. These renewable energy resources may not fulf.....»»
Editorial: In ruling for the future, Montana judge says state must weigh climate change in policies
A Montana judge's ruling that the state's relentless protection and promotion of fossil fuels violates young people's right to a "clean and healthful environment" is groundbreaking—and potentially not just on the topic of climate change. In Missour.....»»
In the (convection) zone: Astronomers eavesdrop on stars’ innate “twinkle”

Climate change is making debt more expensive—new study
Earth is overheating due to the greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels. This is "the biggest market failure the world has seen" according to economist Nicholas Stern. The rational behavior of companies that pollute by making profitable co.....»»
Antarctica risks "cascades of extreme events" as Earth warms, study says
Extreme weather in Antarctica, including ocean heat waves and ice loss, is set to become more intense unless urgent policy action reduces the burning of fossil fuels, a new study has found—the latest to sound the alarm on the damage climate change.....»»
