Plant-Based Substitute for Fossil Fuels Developed for Plastic Foams
An environmentally-friendly preparation of plant material from pine could serve as a substitute for petroleum-based chemicals in polyurethane foams.
Research Contrasts Drought Sensitivity of Eurasian and North American Grasslands
Grasslands in Asia and North America differ in their responses to drought, according to a new paper in the journal Nature led by faculty at Colorado State University.
Mapping Antarctica’s Hidden Ice-Free Lands: A Blueprint for Conservation
UNSW researchers unveil a new map and classification system that will help protect the unique plants and animals of Earth’s most remote and fragile continent.
Climate Change Reshuffles Species Like a Deck of Cards, New Study Finds
A new study led by an ecology and evolutionary biologist at UC Santa Cruz finds that temperature changes due to climate change have a doubly detrimental impact: Not only do they destabilize animal populations, but the impacts accelerate as temperatures change more rapidly.
Finding the Most Efficient Carbon-Neutral Aircraft for Your Flight
OK, we admit, we’re a long way from a carbon-free grid—but when we have one, what’s the most efficient way to use that energy to fly planes?
