Renewable electrolytic hydrogen produced by using electricity drawn from wind and solar sources delivers its greatest societal value when applied to steelmaking, transoceanic shipping and long-haul heavy-duty trucking, according to University of California, Irvine researchers.

A new study reveals how sulfur compounds are metabolized under oxygen-deficient conditions – and which microorganisms are responsible.

Despite regional variability in climate, electricity sources, congestion, and the wide variation in individual driving patterns, electric vehicles generate less greenhouse gas emissions and do not cost more than comparable gas-powered vehicles for drivers and vehicle fleet owners in most parts of the United States, according to a new study by MIT researchers.

Soils are home to some of the most diverse animal communities on Earth. These animals – including nematodes, springtails, mites, earthworms, spiders and other arthropods – drive decomposition, regulate microbial communities and contribute to nutrient cycling.

While our emissions are trapping heat near the surface of the Earth, they are having the opposite effect in the upper atmosphere. 

Professor Susie Dai has engineered special algae to remove and reuse harmful microplastics from wastewater.

Don’t have time to exercise because of a busy schedule? 

Salmon usually go about their lives quietly, unless they are stressed. 

Artificial intelligence can dramatically speed up the painstaking work of tracking wildlife with remote cameras, cutting analysis time from months or even a year to just days while producing nearly the same scientific conclusions as humans.

A major river restoration project in Cumbria has shown that reconnecting rivers to their floodplains can slow the movement of water and improve habitats.
