| Improved water splitting method: A green energy innovation Posted: 30 Aug 2021 01:39 PM PDT Hydrogen is a promising clean energy source with great potential to replace greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels. While total water (H2O) splitting is the easiest way to obtain hydrogen (H2), this reaction is slow and not yet commercially feasible. Now, scientists have developed a novel electrocatalyst that significantly improves hydrogen production from water splitting in an energy and cost-efficient way. |
| How people respond to wildfire smoke Posted: 30 Aug 2021 12:29 PM PDT Interviews with Northern California residents reveal that social norms and social support are essential for understanding protective health behaviors during wildfire smoke events -- information that could be leveraged to improve public health outcomes. |
| Tracking genetically modified animals Posted: 30 Aug 2021 11:02 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a new way to track genetically modified animals using the artificial transgenes they leave behind in the environment. The discovery provides a powerful new tool to locate and manage genetically modified animals that have escaped or been released into the wild. |
| Beavers are well established and moving through the Oregon Coast Range Posted: 30 Aug 2021 11:02 AM PDT Beavers are often translocated to restore populations in areas, reduce their conflicts with humans and to take advantage of their ability to improve ecosystems. However, few studies have accessed the impacts of dispersing beavers, making it difficult to determine best practices for translocations. |
| Turning thermal energy into electricity Posted: 30 Aug 2021 11:02 AM PDT With the addition of sensors and enhanced communication tools, providing lightweight, portable power has become even more challenging. New research demonstrated a new approach to turning thermal energy into electricity that could provide compact and efficient power. |
| Upcycled manure may ignite new sustainable fertilizing trend Posted: 30 Aug 2021 09:32 AM PDT Judiciously decomposing organic matter from 700 degrees Fahrenheit to 1,200 degrees F, without oxygen -- a process known as pyrolysis -- and retaining nutrients from dairy lagoons can transform manure into a manageable, ecologically friendly biochar fertilizer, according to new research. |
| Location and intensity of global threats to biodiversity Posted: 30 Aug 2021 08:33 AM PDT Using a novel modelling approach, new research reveals the location and intensity of key threats to biodiversity on land and identifies priority areas across the world to help inform conservation decision making at national and local levels. |
