A PhD student at The University of Manchester has developed a new method and software for using computer game technology for complex scientific and engineering simulations.
Powerful graphics cards, also known as graph...
A shipping sector summit has been investigating the ways of reducing its contribution to the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement. However, the difficulty in achieving this is not a lack of low carbon technologies.
Researchers have created a nanoscale coating for solar cells that enable the absorption of around 20% more sunlight when compared to uncoated devices. They achieved this by trapping light with the help of an optical version of a whispering gallery.
A research performed at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid has demonstrated that the temperature for manufacturing and placing the asphalt mixtures can be reduced up to 30 degrees by maintaining a good mechanical behavior.
Researchers at The University of British Colombia (UBC) have perfected a process to successfully separate fiberglass and resin - two of the most frequently discarded parts of a cell phone - taking them closer to their objective of a zero-waste cell phone.
The 2.0 out-of-the box Aircuity web app provides data that is beneficial for a variety of users at an institution, including energy saved and occupant protection provided. The analytics present it in a way that is easy to understand and navigate.
Dunes provide important signs about climate change - and recent breakthroughs in how scientists read changing sand dunes, through both natural and human impact, is unlocking evidence of how climate change affects coastal environments and marginal farming areas in arid locations.
Researchers have discovered a technology for transforming waste CO2 into a molecule, forming the basis of producing plastics. The ability to use global ethylene is enormous, making use of half a billion tonnes of carbon emitted each year & counteracting global carbon emissions.
Although sewage treatment could be a trivial job, bacteria are always gladly doing it. Sewage plants are dependent on bacteria to eliminate environmental toxins from waste to ensure that the processed water can be securely discharged into rivers and oceans.
The Australian National University (ANU) has adopted a leading role in preparing the next international climate assessment. The assessment will be vital for informing nations about the need to increase their actions in order to avoid the dangers of global warming.

At present, the emulation of photosynthesis in plants—by using light to transform abundant and stable molecules such as CO2 and water into a high-energy fuel (hydrogen) or into chemicals of industrial benefit, is a major research challenge.
WiseGuyReports.Com Publish a New Market Research Report On -" Clean Coal Technology 2018 Global Market Net Worth US$ 6595 million Forecast By 2022".
Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are becoming a subject of intense research as aircraft components. A new technology changes recycled carbon fibers into materials for fuel cells & batteries: saving costs and enhancing CO2 balance.
Using heat treatment, black carbon waste material from Merchant ships was transformed into highly crystalline, graphitic 3D structures known as nano-onions. Electrochemical testing showed its properties make it an ideal candidate for low-cost anodic material in lithium-ion batteries.
