Scientists discover novel method for converting CO2 into fuel

A research team from the University of Surrey has developed a novel method for converting carbon dioxide into fuel. Why are scientists embarking on the task of converting CO2 into fuel? The project for converting CO2 into fuel has been awarded...

Scientists develop environmentally safe, frost-resistant coatings

Scientists produce environmentally friendly frost-resistant coatings as an alternative to conventional de-icers. Airports throughout winter require huge amounts of de-icing fluids to allow the planes to take off safely. As passengers wait to board, delays become longer when the airplanes...

Flowers’ visible colours can help to ensure pollination survival

Different substances that are invisible to the human eye and found in the petals of flowers, attract insects with a ‘bulls-eye’ that is the key to pollination survival. According to scientists at Clemson University, the different invisible substances found in...

Earth’s atmosphere revealed by temperature changes and climate shifts

A research team from Hokkaido University has investigated temperature changes and climate shifts to reveal the evolution of the Earth’s atmosphere. What have scientists investigated to reveal this information? Scientists have discovered argon trapped in air-hydrate crystals in ice cores, which...

Restoring peatlands to protect wildlife and reduce fire risks

New research that focuses on Indonesia’s peatlands suggests the ecological benefits of restoring peatlands to conserve biodiversity. Peatlands are found in at least 175 countries and cover 3% of the world’s land area. They are terrestrial wetland ecosystems, in which...
