Pulling Energy Out of Thin Air: The Sky is the Limit for Hydrogen-Based Clean Energy

Finding ways to produce clean energy and sources that generate green electricity tend to be complex, long-winded, and generally not as easy as simply pulling energy out of thin air. Yet, a group of researchers in Australia has demonstrated just that after discovering an enzyme that can quite literally convert air into energy.

Ice Sheet in East Antarctica Has Melted Earlier

Sixty per cent of the world's fresh water is bound up in Antarctic ice sheets. Thirty million cubic kilometres of ice is perhaps a difficult number to grasp. But if absolutely all Antarctica's ice melted, the seas would rise by 58 metres on average.

Uncovering the Underlying Mechanisms of Record-Low Sea Ice Area

Antarctic sea ice is a key component of the climate system and may serve as an early indicator of climate change. Substantial changes in Antarctic sea ice have been reported as a result of global warming.
