Invasive Rushes Spreading in Upland Farm Fields
A new study involving University of Liverpool ecologists shows invasive native species of rushes are spreading across UK upland farms and have the potential to threaten wildlife and the livelihoods of farmers.
Renewable Fuel From Carbon Dioxide With the Aid of Solar Energy
Researchers at LiU are attempting to convert carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to fuel using energy from sunlight. Recent results have shown that it is possible to use their technique to selectively produce methane, carbon monoxide or formic acid from carbon dioxide and water.
Computer Modelling Predicts Where Vaccines Are Needed Most
Researchers have developed a model that can estimate regional disease burden and the impact of vaccination, even in the absence of robust surveillance data, a study in eLife reveals.
Heat and Humidity Battle Sunshine for Influence Over the Spread of COVID-19, Researchers Find
An international team of researchers led by McMaster University has found that while higher heat and humidity can slow the spread of COVID-19, longer hours of sunlight are associated with a higher incidence of the disease, in a sign that sunny days can tempt more people out even if this means a higher risk of infection.
New Hints of Volcanism Under the Heart of Northern Europe
Scientists have discovered new evidence for active volcanism next door to some of the most densely populated areas of Europe.
