The climate crisis may seem like such a vast and complex problem that mankind is simply incapable of addressing it. However, a new study offers hope that transformational change in just a couple of key sectors could bring about “tipping points” that have outsize effects.
A new study on COVID-19 treatment could help ramp up economies of scale for seaweed farming, with big implications for renewable energy
Coal power plants are already dying off, and a new solar cell with the potential for 60% conversion efficiency could deal the final death blow.
Researchers at the University of Exeter have created graphene-infused concrete that is twice as strong but has far lower carbon emissions than ordinary concrete.
A new study suggests the Earth may not suffer a catastrophic increase in average temperatures but predicts it will see an increase of about 2.8 degrees Celsius. That’s enough to cause massive changes in climate that will affect hundreds of millions of people.
A new study has concluded that policy makers and investors around the globe are embracing renewable, energy efficient, and flexible electricity sources. In an article published in the journal Nature Energy this week, University of Exeter professor Catherine Mitchell from the University’s Energy Policy Group concludes that the fact that investment … [continued]
Here’s a new twist on the “butterfly effect” leading to more lightweight, compact concentrated systems for solar energy harvesting — instead of hurricanes.
A new graphene driven industrial revolution is about to dawn according to researchers at the University of Exeter, thanks partly to graphene skinned robots.
Oil prices are still in freefall, but a new graphene material shows that low prices can’t save fossil fuels from the inevitable domination of clean energy.
Diesel on demand — researchers at the University of Exeter have developed a method of producing pure diesel with E.coli bacteria. The new diesel is nearly identical to the conventional form, and apparently does not need to be blended with petroleum products as other biodiesels typically do. The multinational oil … [continued]
