Could a radical geoengineering concept potentially slow sea-ice retreat?

A new AWI study shows that a radical geo-engineering concept could potentially slow sea-ice retreat, but not global warming According to a much-debated geo-engineering approach, both sea-ice retreat and global warming could be slowed by using millions of wind-powered pumps, drifting in the sea ice, to promote ice formation during the Arctic winter. AWI researchers

A new water purification method can simultaneously remove organic, inorganic, and microbial contaminants, as well as microplastics

Magnetic nanoparticles with ionic liquids for water purification In many parts of the world, access to clean drinking water is far from certain. Filtration of large volumes of water, however, is slow and impractical. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists have introduced a new water purification method based on magnetic nanoparticles coated with a so-called “ionic

Renewable planetary resources reach their limits

Humanity should use planetary resources with care Can the world continue expanding its use of renewable resources at an increasing rate? Most likely not. Using a data set of over 25 resources researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Yale University and Michigan State University demonstrate that several key resources have recently passed,

Rapamycin: limited anti-aging effects

Substance makes mice live longer, but hardly slows down the aging process The drug rapamycin is known to increase lifespan in mice. Whether rapamycin slows down aging, however, remains unclear. A team of researchers from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the Helmholtz Zentrum München has now found that rapamycin extends lifespan – but its

Luminous Bacterial Proteins Detect Chemicals in Water

This is the concept: If the analyzed sample shines red, then the water is ‘clean;’ While residual medications don’t belong in the water, trace metals from industrial process waters handled by the recycling industry are, in contrast, valuable resources. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed a simple color sensor principle which facilitates the

Breast cancer breakthrough is a tribute to our scientists

TALKING of heroes, Victorian scientists have done it again with another major breakthrough in the treatment of breast cancer. As the Sunday Herald Sun reports on page 7 today, a team from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre has announced it is working on a type of vaccine that “mops” up breast cancer cells left after radiation treatment.
