Deep Ocean Producing ‘Dark’ Oxygen, Study Finds
A new study suggests that metals scattered about the deep ocean may be producing oxygen, a finding that could strengthen the case against controversial deep-sea mining.
Ground Surface Conditions Impact Speed and Distance of Leaking Natural Gas
When natural gas leaks from a subsurface pipeline, a ground cover of water/snow saturation, asphalt paving or a combination of these can cause the gas to migrate away from the leak site up to three to four times farther than through dry soil, a new study has found.
Converting Captured Carbon to Fuel: Study Assesses What’s Practical and What’s Not
The struggle to cut emissions is real.
New Humidity-Driven Membrane to Remove Carbon Dioxide From the Air
A new ambient-energy-driven membrane that pumps carbon dioxide out of the air has been developed by Newcastle University researchers.
Researchers Find That Frogs Can Quickly Increase Their Tolerance to Pesticides
Although there is a large body of research on pests evolving tolerances for the pesticides meant to destroy them, there have been considerably fewer studies on how non-target animals in these ecosystems may do the same.
