5 Ways Supercomputers Help Advance Science
Supercomputers are helping scientists simulate scientific processes, make predictions and create data-based solutions, tackling the biggest scientific questions one calculation at a time.
Converting Methane Into Useful Chemicals
Researchers have created a catalyst that can convert methane into formaldehyde at more than twice the previous efficiency.
Turning Emissions Into Electricity
Carbon dioxide could become a potent energy source thanks to technology developed by researchers in South Korea and the US.
When Keeping Cool, Socioeconomic Status Matters
Scientists have found that lower-income households raise water consumption, while higher-income households raise energy consumption to keep cool.
Mangroves Help Countries Reduce Carbon Emissions
Coastal vegetation could hold the key to upholding the Paris agreement, according to researchers in Singapore.
Cleaner Power Sources Could Save 26 Million Years Of Life
Eliminating emissions by switching to cleaner power sources could add years to people’s lives in China and India, according to a study by scientists in the US.
Climate Change Could Double China’s Drought Losses
Preventing global warming from exceeding 1.5°C would save China tens of billions of dollars, researchers say.
Counting The Carbon Cost Of Palm Oil
Every hectare of rainforest converted to oil palm plantation releases 174 tons of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, researchers say.
Giant Clams Tell The History Of Typhoons
A team of researchers has developed a precise method to determine past typhoon occurrences from the growth pattern and composition of giant clam shells.
