A new metal-organic framework could help reduce carbon emissions produced by the petrochemical industry

A newly developed metal-organic framework (MOF) could help reduce the amount of carbon emissions produced by the petrochemical industry, according to a study published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. One of the most important challenges in the chemical and petrochemical industries is segregating molecules in an energy-efficient method. In fact, the separation processes make […]

Preserving riverside forests by connecting fragmented habitats may conserve biodiversity, ecosystems

Aside from protecting various endangered species, the conservation of river-floodplain ecosystems is another challenge that experts are trying to address in the 21st century. According to a group of researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan, landscape genetics can be used to help sustain threatened ecosystems. The high soil moisture in forests on the […]

Climate models to be scrapped? Scientists “retract” previous belief about carbon dioxide levels during last warming period

As if the conflicting information and endless debates about climate change and carbon dioxide levels were not confusing enough, a new study has found that carbon dioxide levels were actually much lower than previously believed during the last “warm” period on the planet, illustrating just how difficult it is to make conclusive statements about the […]

Deforestation impacts climate change more than fossil fuel use, new study finds

Curbing the use of fossil fuels is often singled out as the best way to tackle climate change, but a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters shows that the problem of deforestation should not be overlooked as it contributes far more to climate change than once believed. The new paper, which is […]
