The wonder-material graphene may have a new trick to add to its resume: converting carbon dioxide into liquid fuels. A team at Rice University has used nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) as ...

An actuator is an energy transducer that can convert input energies into work. Cross-linked liquid-crystalline polymers show photoinduced deformation with changes in the molecular shape and alignment ...

In the year 2013, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere - particularly carbon dioxide - increased at its fastest rate in 30 years. According to the World Meterological Association ...

US and Australia-based researchers have discovered a cheap new way to capture and convert CO2 emissions using liquid gallium. The process can be done at room temperature and uses the metal to ...

New Jersey-based Liquid Light has received a CAD$500,000 seed grant in the first round of Alberta’s Grand Challenge, organized by the Climate Change and Emission Management Corporation (CCEMC). The ...

Researchers at Harvard have discovered how to convert solar energy into liquid fuel, potentially accelerating our switch to the alternative-energy source, according to an article in this month’s ...

A system for applying liquid fertiliser when planting potatoes is also proving successful for applying seed-bed fertiliser when establishing oilseed rape. Peter Hill reports. A Lincolnshire grower who ...
