Optimizing Phase Change Materials Could Reduce Power Plant Water Consumption
Trillions of gallons of water are used annually to prevent power plants from overheating. A Texas A&M research group is looking into alternative methods of cooling steam turbines.
Just 5 Percent of Electric Plants Responsible for 73 percent of Power Sector Emissions
Just 5 percent of all power plants globally — all of them coal-fired — are responsible for 73 percent of electricity-sector carbon emissions, according to a new study that calls for cutting emissions from “hyper-polluting” power plants.
Save Our Pollinators, Save Our World

The Race for EV Parts Leads to Risky Deep-Ocean Mining
Nauru, lying about halfway across the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean between Australia and Hawaii, is the world’s smallest island nation. But in the emerging industry of deep-sea mining, it punches far above its weight.
New Method to Detect Impact of Sea Level Rise
University of Adelaide scientists have developed a new simple, inexpensive and fast method to analyse sulfur isotopes, which can be used to help investigate chemical changes in environments such as oceans, and freshwater rivers and lakes.
