New research shows that technologies are available, but the upgrades can be expensive. A study of seven wastewater treatment plants in the Eastern United States…
Kansas private well owners should test water quality annually, according to a recent Kansas State University study that revealed nitrate levels in shallow wells above…
Researchers led by Professor MATSUYAMA Hideto and Professor YOSHIOKA Tomohisa at Kobe University’s Research Center for Membrane and Film Technology have succeeded in developing an…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are valuable for a wide variety of applications. Made of graphene sheets rolled into tubes 10,000 times smaller than a human hair,…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year – the time NASA’s SnowEx campaign hits the skies and ground of the world’s snowy places, measuring…
University of Delaware study finds direct links between old carbon, graphite, and seafloor hydrothermal vents. For years, researchers looking at seafloor sediments would find bits…
A healthy lifestyle consists of a mixture of habits. Diet, exercise, sleep, and other factors all must be in balance. Similarly, a sustainable farm operates…
New coating could reduce toilet water consumption by half, increase water sustainability. Every day, more than 141 billion liters of water are used solely to…
The theoretical model proposed by Brazilian researchers can be applied to any system in which two energy scales coexist. Water can remain liquid at temperatures…
Scientists from Leipzig measure an important sub-process of the water cycle. Vertical air motions increase ice formation in mixed-phase clouds. This correlation was predicted theoretically…
New technique unexpectedly finds that black carbon in rivers and oceans differs significantly. In understanding the global carbon cycle, “black carbon” — decay-resistant carbon molecules…
California’s switch to solar, wind energy reduced reliance on hydropower, natural gas. Solar and wind farms are popping up around the country to lower carbon…
How small is the smallest possible particle of ice? It’s not a snowflake, measuring at a whopping fraction of an inch. According to new research…
When a thin layer of water is squeezed between two hydrophobic surfaces, the laws of classical physics break down. From raindrops rolling off the waxy…
Switch to natural gas would save 12,000 billion gallons a year by 2030; switching to solar or wind power would yield even greater savings. The…
Their findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), challenge the accepted wisdom on wetting and drying phase behavior. The authors…
Liquids evaporating into vapor is a daily occurrence, and yet the time it takes a liquid droplet to completely evaporate has remained a mystery Researchers…
