The UC San Diego campus is home to the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network of any academic institution in the western world with a growing number of EV chargers expected to exceed 1,200 within the next year.
A new thermal treatment technique being developed by researchers at the University of Miami College of Engineering could help destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in soil, leading to the potential demise of 鈥渇orever chemicals.鈥�
In this piece Prof Mmantsae Diale of the Department of Physics at the University of Pretoria, highlights the significance of International Earth Day (22 April) in promoting renewable energy, with a focus on South Africa鈥檚 rapidly growing solar power sector as a sustainable solution to energy challenges.
The International Day for Digital Learning is observed annually on 19 March to demonstrate how, among other objectives, digital learning can build relationships and empower communities.
In the first-ever scientific exploration of its kind in Bhutan, a team of researchers and forest rangers led by NAU assistant research professor Jut Wynne is uncovering how large and small animals use caves, how many yet-to-be-discovered species insects and spiders live inside and how Bhutanese communities can preserve the caves鈥� delicate ecosystems for future generations.
The global energy system may be faced with an inescapable trade-off between urgently addressing climate change versus avoiding an energy shortfall, according to a new energy scenario tool developed...
Those who climb indoors are doing something for their health. But climbing shoes contain chemicals of concern that can enter the lungs of climbers through the abrasion of the soles. In a recent study, researchers from the University of Vienna and EPFL Lausanne have shown for the first time that high concentrations of potentially harmful chemicals from climbing shoe soles can be found in the air of bouldering gyms, in some cases higher than on a busy street. The results have been published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology Air.
Thousands of hectares of Chornobyl-affected farmland, long deemed too dangerous for cultivation in northern Ukraine can safely return to production, according to new research.
he Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is proud to announce that Bank of America, the Central Africa Forest Initiative (CAFI), the Good Energies Foundation, and the UBS Optimus Foundation have made financial commitments to the High Integrity Forest Investment (HIFOR) Initiative.
As lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continue to power electric vehicles and energy storage systems, their long-term health remains a critical challenge. A groundbreaking new method combines deep learning with physical modeling to deliver rapid, accurate degradation diagnosis at the electrode level. This innovative approach requires only 11 data points from a charging cycle, achieving reliable predictions in just 2.5 minutes. By simplifying the data needed and eliminating the need for specialized equipment, this technique offers a faster, more accessible solution to battery health monitoring鈥攑aving the way for safer, more efficient battery management in large-scale applications.
It is hardly surprising that green spaces in noisy cities offer people respite from stress. However, a comprehensive study by Empa and WSL shows for the first time for Switzerland how much these recreational spaces actually affect physical and mental stress management.
With more than 181.5 billion tons of wood produced globally each year, a new method could revolutionize how we build sustainably. By infusing red oak with ferrihydrite using a simple, low-cost process, researchers strengthened the wood at the cellular level without adding weight or altering flexibility 鈥� offering a durable, eco-friendly alternative to steel and concrete.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Traditional methods for measuring these emissions are often limited by their focus on individual compounds, leading to incomplete emission profiles.
New research involving Rutgers professors has revealed that expected, extreme changes in India鈥檚 summer monsoon could drastically hamper the Bay of Bengal鈥檚 ability to support a crucial element of the region鈥檚 food supply: marine life. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, was conducted by scientists from Rutgers University, the University of Arizona and collaborators from India, China and Europe. To reach their conclusions, the scientists examined how the monsoon, which brings heavy rains to the Indian subcontinent, has influenced the Bay of Bengal鈥檚 marine productivity over the past 22,000 years.
A groundbreaking study of Chittagong City exposes how governance gaps and infrastructure failures exacerbate urban flooding, proposing 10 key strategies combining engineering solutions with community engagement to build climate-resilient cities.
Scientists are working to shed new light on an enduring climate mystery 鈥� one that, if solved, could help them make more accurate predictions about the planet鈥檚 future.
A new study published by researchers at the University at Albany has presented the first documented evidence that Adirondack surface waters made a near full recovery from metal pollution since the enactment of the Clean Air Act.
A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego offers a first-of-its-kind look at how deeper coordination among Western U.S. states could lower the cost of decarbonizing the electric grid鈥攁nd speed up the clean energy transition.
Switchgrass has gripped Midwestern soils for millions of years, but soon, the earthbound prairie grass could fly. New studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign identify economic and environmental considerations that make switchgrass a candidate for sustainable aviation fuel.
