Using a new model, experts say that without the global CFC ban we would already be facing the reality of a “scorched earth”.
Materials discovery dilemma: Seeing the forest for the trees
While some would contend that materials discovery will breathe life into a hydrogen economy, it cannot realize its full potential unless production becomes less costly and more efficient.
Colors of the Anthropocene — The future of green hydrogen
The Anthropocene has been defined by its carbon emissions, but modern technological advancements may hold the key to breaking this habit.
Electro swing direct air capture
An innovative advance dubbed “electro swing” may challenge the energy efficiency, capacity, and scalability of large-scale carbon capture.
A wobbly moon will increase coastal flooding in the 2030s
Heightened flooding due to sea level rise will coincide with a lunar cycle, spelling trouble for coastal communities.
The best way to study a lake? Float on top of it
The LéXPLORE floating laboratory in Switzerland is providing unique insights into the changing environment of Lake Geneva.
Carbon dioxide locked in stone
Mineralization of carbon dioxide has some serious advantages over physical traps, giving rise to potential carbon-negative industries.
Global warming is threatening animal cognition
With increasing heatwaves, wild animals’ ability to process and respond to environmental information may become compromised.
Measuring computers’ carbon footprint with “Green Algorithms”
A new, open-source platform allows scientists to easily measure the carbon footprint of their computations.
Pioneers in Science: Milutin Milanković
The grandfather of climate science, Milanković’s theory of a complex feedback loop–driven climate would come to define the field.
