Researchers Develop Materials That Can Revolutionize How Light is Harnessed for Solar Energy
Researchers at Columbia University have developed a way to harness more power from singlet fission to increase the efficiency of solar cells, providing a tool to help push forward the development of next-generation devices.
Uncertainty in Emissions Estimates in the Spotlight
National or other emissions inventories of greenhouse gases that are used to develop strategies and track progress in terms of emissions reductions for climate mitigation contain a certain amount of uncertainty, which inevitably has an impact on the decisions they inform.
Extreme Evolution
Researchers at McMaster University who rush in after storms to study the behaviour of spiders have found that extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones may have an evolutionary impact on populations living in storm-prone regions, where aggressive spiders have the best odds of survival.
Paper Filter from Algae Could Save Lives
The problem of access to safe drinking water in most parts of Bangladesh is a persistent challenge.
How Coastal Mud Holds the Key to Climate Cooling Gas
Bacteria found in muddy marshes, estuaries and coastal sediment synthesise one of the Earth’s most abundant climate cooling gases – according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).
