Clean, sustainable fuel produced from plastic garbage
Posted on 8 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: Researchers have shown how carbon dioxide from industrial operations or even straight from the air can be gathered and converted into sustainable, clean fuels using only solar energy.
The University of Cambridge researchers created a solar-powered reactor that transforms collected CO 2 and plastic waste into renewable fuels and other useful chemical compounds. In experiments, CO 2 was transformed into syngas, an essential component of sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic...

Microplastics contamination in lakes and reservoirs , the subject of a global investigation.
Posted on 13 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: Every year, 14 million tonnes of plastic make their way into the ocean. But it's hardly the only body of water where plastic poses a serious threat.
Ted Harris, associate research professor at the Kansas Biological Survey & Centre for Ecological Research at the University of Kansas, said, "We discovered microplastics in every lake we studied.
"You may see some of these lakes as crystal-clear, picturesque holiday locations. However, we found that these locations were...
Climate change, causing oceans to become more green
Posted on 16 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Highlights;
More than half of the world's oceans have become greener over the past 20 years, likely due to global warming. This was determined by analyzing 20 years of data on ocean color from NASA's Aqua satellite.
The greening indicates increased phytoplankton and algae in the surface waters. Phytoplankton contain chlorophyll which makes the ocean appear greener.
The tropical and subtropical waters between 40°S and 40°N latitude changed the most in color. These areas...
AI discovers flora's hidden characteristics to aid save species
Posted on 4 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary:To research and mitigate the effects of climate change on flora, scientists from UNSW and the Sydney Botanic Gardens have trained AI to access data from millions of plant specimens maintained in herbaria around the world.
Associate Professor Will Cornwell, the study's principal author, adds that herbarium collections are incredible "time capsules of plant specimens." It's no longer feasible to go through items manually because the National Herbarium of New South Wales alone...
