MIT Engineers Devise Technology to Prevent Fouling in Photobioreactors for CO2 Capture
Algae grown in transparent tanks or tubes supplied with carbon dioxide can convert the greenhouse gas into other compounds, such as food supplements or fuels. But the process leads to a buildup of algae on the surfaces that clouds them and reduces efficiency, requiring laborious cleanout procedures every couple of weeks.
As Rising Temperatures Affect Alaskan Rivers, Effects Ripple Through Indigenous Communities
Streamflow is increasing in Alaskan rivers during both spring and fall seasons, primarily due to increasing air temperatures over the past 60 years, according to new CU Boulder-led research.
Stronger Paper Bags, Reused Repeatedly Then Recycled for Biofuel Could Be Future
As the world searches for ways to reduce the use of plastics such as single-use plastic bags, a novel study by Penn State researchers demonstrates a process to make paper bags stronger — especially when they get wet — to make them a more viable alternative.
Is This the Future of Farming?
New computer science study offers a radical new way to think about agriculture and its potential benefits for farming.
Gentle Method Allows for Environmentally Friendly Recycling of Solar Cells
By using a new method, precious metals can be efficiently recovered from thin-film solar cells.
