Nvidia and AMD are pretty even in many ways, but there are still a few areas where Team Green shows a commanding lead......»»
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.....»»
As rising temperatures threaten urban wildlife, experts recommend protecting green spaces
When a family of red foxes popped up in Lurie Garden in May, frolicking through Millennium Park and grooming each other on a concrete slab, Seth Magle said it was an exciting development for a species that is becoming increasingly rare in the Chicago.....»»
The ‘Green’ Future of Furniture Is a Sofa Stuffed With Seaweed

An easy way to make aquaculture more sustainable
Changing the way that carp are fed can substantially reduce the amount of ammonia they excrete compared to when they eat the same amount of food all at once. This finding is one of the outcomes of Wouter Mes's Ph.D. research at Radboud University......»»
Electromagnetic field-assisted thermal catalysis enabling low-temperature, low-pressure, large-scale ammonia synthesis
Ammonia (NH3), as one of the most common industrial chemicals, is essential for nitrogenous fertilizer production and shows potential as a next-generation green fuel. Industrial ammonia synthesis relies on the reaction of fossil fuel-derived hydrogen.....»»
Team reviews photocatalysis for methane conversion to high-value products
A research team has published a review paper summarizing the recent progress in methane conversion using photocatalysis. Photocatalysis, the process of using light to accelerate a chemical reaction, offers a promising and green technology for methane.....»»
Video: Student engineers develop early warning system for blue-green algae
With temperatures rising due to global warming, blue-green algae blooms have become increasingly common on Alberta lakes. Early detection is crucial because the algae produce toxins that can be harmful to humans and animals......»»
