A multidisciplinary research group has formulated new protective coatings to allow turbine engines to run hotter — with potential dividends for the environment and people.
Healthy coral reefs echo with a chorus of grunts and purrs from fish feeding, looking for mates, or defending their territories, underscored by the persistent crackling of snapping shrimp. Larval corals
In the face of rising CO2 levels, scientists are searching for sustainable ways of pulling carbon dioxide out of the air, so-called direct air capture. A new type of porous material,
Scientists are increasingly arguing that coral-reef restoration is a lost cause — but done right, it can still benefit ecosystems and local communities.
Scientists were recently surprised to find that the natural community of zooplankton — tiny, aquatic animals known to graze on bacteria — present in freshwater and saltwater do not clean water
Researchers have developed a novel method using facet-selective, ultrafine cocatalysts to efficiently split water to create hydrogen — a clean source of fuel.
Plants widen microscopic pores on their leaves in response to heat. But scientists lacked an understanding of the mechanisms behind this ‘sweating’ function. Now, biologists have unlocked the details behind these
Engineers have developed an innovative way to make covalent organic frameworks, special materials that can be used to trap gases, filter water and speed up chemical reactions.
Scientists successfully tested a new way to produce sustainable jet fuel from lignin-based agricultural waste. The team’s research demonstrated a continuous process that directly converts lignin polymers, one of the chief
Catalysts play an important role in the manufacture of many products that we encounter in everyday life—for example in cars for exhaust gas purification or in the chemical industry in the
