Aerosols: When Scents Influence Our Climate
One of the great unknowns in climate models is the behavior of certain gases that often smell strongly and cause water to condense.
Researchers Advance Lithium-Metal Batteries, Paving the Way for Safer, More Powerful Devices
The boom in phones, laptops and other personal devices over the last few decades has been made possible by the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, but as climate change demands more powerful batteries for electric vehicles and grid-scale renewable storage, lithium-ion technology might not be enough.
RMIT Study Suggests Link Between Feral Horses and Peatland Carbon Emissions
A ground-breaking new study by RMIT has found carbon emissions from Australian alpine peatlands to be much higher in areas disturbed by feral horses.
Solar-Powered Device Produces Clean Water and Clean Fuel at the Same Time
A floating, solar-powered device that can turn contaminated water or seawater into clean hydrogen fuel and purified water, anywhere in the world, has been developed by researchers.
Scientists Develop Faster, Cheaper Way to Count Microbes, Discover New Antibiotics
University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new way of counting microorganisms that works as much as 36 times faster than conventional methods, cuts plastic use more than 15-fold and substantially decreases the cost and carbon footprint of biomedical research.
