DIY eco-friendly fertilizer
Miniature plasma reactors mimic how lightening makes renewable nitrogen fertilizer using just sunlight, water, and air.
“Greening” brown ammonia no longer looks like a pipe dream
A recent advance in the Haber-Bosch production of ammonia increases conversion beyond the maximum allowed in the current industrial process.
Addressing ozone-depleting nitrous oxide pollution with metal complexes
Synthesis of a rare metal complex of nitrous oxide opens new vistas for the degradation of a potent greenhouse gas.
Seeking life on Mars: What you need to know about the Perseverance mission
The Perseverance rover will explore the Martian Jezero Crater and collect the first rock samples from the Red Planet.
How do you sample blood in a non-invasive way?
Graphene-based biosensors incorporated in arrays of microneedles are emerging as an alternative to hypodermic needles and could be the next generation of blood sampling devices.
Improving Li-ion battery performance using 3D printing
Increasing the mass of an electrode reduces power density due to the longer distance that ions and electrons must travel. Electrode designs need a rethink.
Conducting the climate change orchestra
It is my hope that with the collaborative efforts of a unified world, the dark tones of the fossil fuel reliance and heavy pollution will fade to become a distant echo of our past.
Today’s green investment is tomorrow’s emission reduction — models must grasp this
How ignoring the dynamics of the energy transition leads to overestimating transition cost and unjustified delay of climate action.
Never say never – Seeing the birth of a crystal
The genesis of a crystal was something we have imagined for centuries, and being able to watch it was like living in a dream.
