Combining BECCS and microalgae production to solve world hunger and reduce CO2

An unconventional mélange of algae, eucalyptus and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) appears to be a quirky ecological recipe. But, scientists from Cornell, Duke University, and the University of Hawaii at Hilo have an idea that could use that recipe to help power and provide food protein to large regions of the world

New evidence for a lot of water in the Moon’s interior

Using satellite data, Brown researchers have for the first time detected widespread water within ancient explosive volcanic deposits on the Moon, suggesting that its interior contains substantial amounts of indigenous water A new study of satellite data finds that numerous volcanic deposits distributed across the surface of the Moon contain unusually high amounts of trapped

Water filtration with CO2 uses 1,000 times less energy than conventional methods

A new process for water filtration using carbon dioxide consumes one thousand times less energy than conventional methods, scientific research published recently has shown. The research was led by Dr Orest Shardt of University of Limerick, Ireland together with Dr Sangwoo Shin (now at University of Hawaii, Manoa), while they were post doctoral researchers at

Microbots Made of Bubbles Have Engines Made of Lasers

It may be possible to conjure swarms of microscopic bubble robots out of nothing . . . We’re used to thinking of robots as mechanical entities, but at very small scales, it sometimes becomes easier to use existing structures (like microorganisms that respond to magnetic fields or even swarms of bacteria) instead of trying

Unprecedented, Human-Made Trends in Ocean’s Acidity

Our results suggest that severe reductions are likely to occur in coral reef diversity, structural complexity and resilience Combining computer modeling with observations, an international team of scientists concluded that anthropogenic CO2 emissions over the last 100 to 200 years have already raised ocean acidity far beyond the range of natural variations. The study
