La Red de Políticas sobre Energías Renovables para el Siglo 21, muestra que las energías renovables se han establecido firmemente como fuentes principales y competitivas de energía, en muchos países de todo el mundo, estrechando la brecha entre el tener y el no tener energía.

El 2015 fue un año récord para la instalación de energías renovables. 

Due to a breeding boom over the past few years, giant pandas are making a strong recovery. Some experts argue that the species should be removed from the critically endangered list — but is it too soon?

This comes as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature undertakes an official reassessment of the panda’s status. The Swiss-based organization uses a seven-point scale to gauge the risk facing animal populations.

A radical new process that allows hydrogen to be efficiently sourced from liquid formic acid could be one step forward in making the dream of hydrogen-powered cars an economic reality.

Using formic acid to produce hydrogen has never been considered viable because it requires high temperatures to decompose and also produces waste by-products.

But the University of Melbourne's Professor Richard O'Hair has led an international team of scientists in designing a molecular catalyst that forces formic acid to produce only hydrogen and carbon dioxide and at a low temperature of only 70°C.

Nearly 15 percent of the contiguous United States is suffering from moderate to severe drought, which makes water conservation critical in certain parts of the country. How do we convince people to save more water, though?

That’s the question that professors at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences put to the test. They polled over 1,000 people in Florida to determine which types of people would respond best to conservation efforts, and the answer is a little counterintuitive: target people who are already saving some water.

La Academia Nacional de Ciencias tiene algunas conclusiones que compartir sobre los alimentos genéticamente modificados…420 páginas que valen la pena. Y no importa de qué lado de la valla se está parado en lo que se refiere a este tema controversial, es probable que no te guste lo que la organización no lucrativa tiene que decir.
