A study in Stardust: Massive Binary Stars Emit Tiny Carbon Particles
It’s fitting that Yale junior Donglin Wu’s first major scientific journal article as lead author focuses on stardust — tiny solid grains that form from stellar winds, drift into interstellar space, and may eventually become parts of new planets.
Many Nations Underestimate Greenhouse Emissions From Wastewater Systems, But the Lapse is Fixable
Nations worldwide underestimate greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater systems, research from Princeton University shows. Outdated inventory methods and failure to include items like latrines and untreated sewage in national reports are main reasons.
Improved EV Battery Technology Will Outmatch Degradation from Climate Change
Climate change was poised to create an interesting catch-22 for electric vehicles. Electrifying transportation can go a long way to reducing carbon emissions that are driving up global temperatures.
Predicting Extreme Rainfall Through Novel Spatial Modeling
Japan is an archipelago with diverse climate zones and complex topography that is prone to heavy rain and flooding.
New Approach to Qualifying Nuclear Reactor Components Rolling Out This Year
A thousand times faster than conventional testing, an ion beam approach to qualifying materials for use in the cores of advanced nuclear reactors is advancing through stages of approval by the industry standards organization ASTM.
