We need a means of reducing carbon emissions and tackling the climate crisis, but is painting nuclear energy and natural gas as “sustainable” the way forward?
Natalie Banerji: “You do not go very far by yourself”
At the interface of light and matter, Natalie Banerji is using spectroscopy to advance technologies such as solar cells and bioelectronics.
Scientists have measured neutrino mass with record-breaking accuracy
Scientists have constrained the mass of neutrinos to less than 1 eV for the first time, breaking an important barrier in neutrino physics.
Steven Hawley: “I’ve always enjoyed the progress we made”
Astrophysicist and retired NASA astronaut Steven Hawley takes us through his fascinating career.
Optimizing a century-old chemical process
A new chemical looping approach helps optimize the Ostwald reaction, making the production of nitric acid a little “greener”.
Nuclear fusion record broken by UK scientists
In a major breakthrough, scientists have demonstrated sustained nuclear fusion energy, providing hope for future large-scale projects.
Where did all of Earth’s water come from?
A new study identifies that magnesium hydrosilicate, a compound present during the Earth’s formation, may be responsible for our planet’s abundant water.
Taking the next step to renewable energy products
Shifting away from fossil fuels to renewable energy products will not only help address harmful emissions, but unwanted chemical exposure.
Creating millions of liters of aviation fuel from captured CO2
A German start-up has developed a method to convert captured carbon and hydrogen into a range of sustainable fuels.
Black hole asymmetry puts quantum gravity to the test
Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity.
