New Carbon Storage Technology Is Fastest of Its Kind
A new way to store carbon captured from the atmosphere developed by researchers from The University of Texas at Austin works much faster than current methods without the harmful chemical accelerants they require.
How a Plant App Helps Identify the Consequences of Climate Change
By leveraging millions of time-stamped observations, researchers can identify plant rhythms and ecological patterns year-round.
How Lasers and 2D Materials Could Solve the World's Plastic Problem
A global research team led by Texas Engineers has developed a way to blast the molecules in plastics and other materials with a laser to break them down into their smallest parts for future reuse.
New Contaminant-Tolerant Catalyst Could Help Capture Carbon Directly From Smokestacks
A newly designed catalyst created by U of T Engineering researchers efficiently converts captured carbon into valuable products — even in the presence of a contaminant that degrades the performance of current versions.
UW Professor Examines Tree Adaptability to Climate
During his recent yearlong sabbatical, Daniel Laughlin led a study that found trees can sustain life in temperatures higher or lower than where they are currently growing.
