While there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that supports the global impact that nonbiological particles have following their release into the atmosphere, there has been a minimal amount of research dedicated to understanding how primary biological aerosol particles can affect our environment.

In 1933, Nobel Prize winner Lev Davidovich Landau introduced the polaron theory, which describes the movement of the polaron, which describes waves of electrons and their cloud of surrounding virtual phonons, within a typical covalently bonded crystal.

Hydrogen, that has only water and not carbon as waste, is so desirable as a fuel that Researchers are desperately trying to make it out of algae and make it scalable.

Carrageenan is a derivative of red seaweed and usually used to thicken food, but a team from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered it also works well as a stabiliser in lithium-sulphur batteries.

Polycarbonates are all around us: in your plastic drinks bottle; the lenses of your glasses; and the scratch-resistant coating on your phones CDs and DVDs. But they are made from crude oil, a finite resource, making them unsustainable.

To address some of the serious concerns surrounding the methods in which oil is removed from water in the event of a serious spill, such as those that have occurred several times over the past few decades around the world, a team of Researchers from the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a way in which up to 99.9% of the oil is removed from water.

Circular economy is an industrial system that aims to avoid waste through the design of optimised cycles of products, components and materials by keeping them at their highest utility and value; it’s a perfect match for e-products which tend to use rare elements that are of...

A carbon-free energy economy using hydrogen as a clean energy source has been a dream of many scientists since the hydrogen economy was first proposed in the 1970s. The reaction of hydrogen with oxygen produces only energy and water, making it the ideal clean energy source.

An international group of researchers have reported a novel idea for membraneless water filtration using directed particle motion caused by the chemical gradient that results from simply dissolving CO2 in water.

The manufacturing and transportation process of water is particularly wasteful, as it is estimated that over 17 million barrels of oil are required to produce plastic bottles each year, which is enough energy to power 1.3 million cars and 190,000 homes in a single year
