Climate: Lessons From the Latest Global Warming
56 million years ago, the Earth experienced one of the largest and most rapid climate warming events in its history: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which has similarities to current and future warming.
A More Sustainable Way to Generate Phosphorus
Phosphorus is an essential ingredient in thousands of products, including herbicides, lithium-ion batteries, and even soft drinks.
Rationing: A Fairer Way to Fight Climate Change?
World War II-style rationing could be an effective way to reduce carbon emissions, according to new research from the University of Leeds.
New Technology Revolutionizes the Analysis of Old Ice
Ice cores are a unique climate archive. Thanks to a new method developed by researchers at the University of Bern and Empa, greenhouse gas concentrations in 1.5 million year old ice can be measured even more accurately.
A New Way for Quantum Computing Systems to Keep Their Cool
Heat causes errors in the qubits that are the building blocks of a quantum computer, so quantum systems are typically kept inside refrigerators that keep the temperature just above absolute zero (-459 degrees Fahrenheit).
