By Alice Clifford Electric car drivers should move to daytime charging at public charging stations by 2035 to save electricity and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to new research from Stanford. The study focused on the western United States and examined the stress the region’s electric grid will come under in the next 13

By Simona Kitanovska An eco-friendly device that could one day replace air conditioning has been created by scientists. Existing air conditioning is a huge driver of global warming because the refrigerants it uses are thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide and cause huge amounts of damage when they accidentally leak. The new device
By Simona Kitanovska New miniaturized, floating artificial leaves that can turn sunlight and water into clean fuel could one day be used to power cargo ships. The ultra-thin, flexible devices mimic photosynthesis – the process by which plants turn sunlight into food – and produce syngas, which is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
By Simona Kitanovska New technologies to reduce the effects of burning fossil fuels include an innovative approach developed by an international team of scientists, who have developed a railcar to capture carbon dioxide by a train as it moves down railways. The process is known as “direct air capture,” which means filtering out CO2 –
By Simona Kitanovska Angry locals say Japanese knotweed has taken over a park and is creeping toward their homes like scenes from the horror movie “The Day of the Triffids”. Residents fear the fast-growing plant will knock thousands of dollars of the value of their properties unless the problem is tackled. They have blasted council
By Georgina Jedikovska An international team of scientists has discovered a new way of high-speed storage of carbon dioxide in a bacterial enzyme that could eventually help fight climate change. The accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has led to a steadily worsening of the climate crisis, which has, in turn, urged scientists to
By Simona Kitanovska A carbon-neutral aviation fuel has been developed by scientists. The futuristic fuel uses water, carbon dioxide and sunlight to power jet engines. Researchers in Switzerland are the first to produce the fuel in a power generator rather than a lab. The amount of synthetic jet fuel it emits when it combusts in
By Darko Manevski Scientists have found an eco-friendly way of producing a chemical widely used in plastics, dyes and paracetamol – which avoids using fossil fuels. Researchers from the Scotland’s University of Glasgow, in the United Kingdom, demonstrate a new method of creating anilines – which are currently produced using techniques which depend on fossil
By Simona Kitanovska Children are not being taught enough about plants at a time when they could be the answer to global warming, scientists have warned. And this has led to people becoming “disconnected from the botanical world” of plants when understanding flora has become crucial to ecology. Even students starting masters’ degrees in biology
