Satellites capture dramatic increase in HFC-125, a potent greenhouse gas
HFC-125 is a greenhouse gas becoming a major contributor to global warming, and in the first study to use satellites to measure its concentration in the atmosphere, researchers found it has increased exponentially in the past 20 years......»»
Hydrogen"s dual nature helps reveal hidden catalytic processes
Microorganisms have long used hydrogen as an energy source. To do this, they rely on hydrogenases that contain metals in their catalytic center. In order to use these biocatalysts for hydrogen conversion, researchers are working to understand the cat.....»»
