Researchers find flexible solution for separating gases
For a broad range of industries, separating gases is an important part of both process and product—from separating nitrogen and oxygen from air for medical purposes to separating carbon dioxide from other gases in the process of carbon capture or r.....»»
Aromatic compounds: A ring made up solely of metal atoms
The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore unknown......»»
Devastating coral bleaching will be more common, start earlier and last longer unless we cut emissions
Coral bleaching is becoming much more common as a result of increasingly severe and frequent marine heat waves. Four global mass bleaching events have happened since 1998. Two of these were in the past decade......»»
Pacific cod can"t rely on coastal safe havens for protection during marine heat waves, study finds
During recent periods of unusually warm water in the Gulf of Alaska, young Pacific cod in near shore safe havens where they typically spend their adolescence did not experience the protective effects those areas typically provide, a new Oregon State.....»»

In a study published in Science on June 21, Prof. Jian Muqiang from Peking University and the Beijing Graphene Institute and others developed a strategy to fabricate carbon nanotube fibers with the dynamic strength up to 14 GPa......»»
New evaluation framework helps quantify supply and demand of carbon sequestration services
The Lancang Mekong River Basin (LMRB) connects six countries in Southeast Asia. To support the ecological, economic and social sustainable development of the LMRB, low carbon management services need to be implemented in each country within the basin.....»»
Some Chinese cities have outsourced on others" efforts to cut carbon emissions
Experts have identified 240 Chinese cities whose emission reductions are mainly benefiting from the carbon mitigation actions of other cities, while the initial cities are putting in less effort themselves......»»
Simple new process stores carbon dioxide in concrete without compromising strength
By using a carbonated—rather than a still—water-based solution during the concrete manufacturing process, a Northwestern University-led team of engineers has discovered a new way to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ubiquitous construction materi.....»»
AC Costs Will Finally Be Covered for Public Housing Resident
The Department of Housing and Urban Development long refused to pay cooling costs for public housing, but climate-change-fueled heat waves have underscored the public health need.....»»
How to Stay Cool in the Summer Heat
Heat waves are getting hotter, more frequent and longer. But there are ways to keep yourself and your community cool......»»
Apple patent explains how Vision Pro comfort could be improved
Vision Pro comfort is one of the biggest limiting factors for the device right now. Many owners say that the weight makes itself known in even moderate use, and my own experience was that I felt both the weight and heat in session lasting around an h.....»»
Future risk of coral bleaching set to intensify globally, researchers say
An international team of researchers led by the University of Adelaide has projected future marine heat waves will cause coral reefs to be at severe risk of bleaching for longer periods than previously seen......»»
Five ways to improve the global voluntary carbon credit markets
The severity of climate change means we all need to reduce our carbon footprint to zero as quick as possible, including companies. The voluntary carbon markets were set up to allow companies to buy and sell carbon credits to offset their emissions......»»
Advancements in forecasting summer heat waves ten days in advance
Researchers have unveiled a system capable of predicting the likelihood of heat wave occurrences in Korea ten days in advance. This technology is expected to facilitate early preparations for heat waves, particularly given the anticipated yearly rise.....»»
