New research from MIT uses effective and inexpensive electrochemistry to remove CO2 from seawater, combatting ambient CO2 levels and acidification of oceans. Known as the primary driver of climate change, atmospheric concentrations of CO2 continue to increase,...
Researchers at RMIT have found a new approach to remove microplastics from water sources. Could this be the solution to the notoriously hard to capture pollutants? Why are microplastics so widely talked about as one of the most persistent and pervasive forms of...
Georgia Webber explains how University of Cambridge researchers are converting PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into valuable products. Two of the biggest threats contributing to the current climate crisis are the well...
