Researchers have created a high performance and selective activated carbon from the dairy industry’s excess milk for scalable carbon capture.
Decline in carbon-intensive arrangements can help mitigate climate change
Deliberate decline in carbon-intensive practices is currently taking shape as a new way to confront climate change.
Minimizing the carbon footprint of cooling systems
Addressing the negative environmental impacts caused by fossil fuels and conventional refrigerants requires alternative and sustainable cooling solutions.

Flying high on carbon dioxide: Decarbonizing aviation
Two Swiss start-up companies have developed a process to generate aviation fuel from thin air in order to accelerate the industrialization of sustainable aviation fuels.
Low-carbon solar energy for water desalination
Desalinating water to meet the world’s growing water demands may be feasible using solar energy.
Old carbon reservoirs unlikely to cause massive greenhouse gas release
Data shows we don’t need to be as concerned about large methane releases from large carbon reservoirs in response to future warming; we should be more concerned about methane released from human activities.
Improving how we image cells using carbon dots
Fluorescent carbon dots could change the way in which we visualize cells.
