Researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have recently announced a new method to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels, using genetically engineered bacteria. This new development might ...
Carbon Dioxide…in Space?
Carbon dioxide has been discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star. The discovery, which was recently announced by NASA is, according to the agency, an important step towards finding chemical biotracers of ...
Space Sunshade to Reduce Global Warming
Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing an ambitious space sunshade system that could reduce the sunlight reaching the Earth by 2%, enough to balance the heating effects of the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Composed ...
Capture Carbon Dioxide Out of the Air
Researchers at the Institute for Sustainable Energy at the University of Calgary in Canada are developing a method for capturing carbon dioxide directly out of the air. Capturing the gas from the air is the only way to collect gases ...
Monitoring Vest to Help Understand Asthma
Researchers from the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a sensor that will constantly monitor the air in the vicinity of asthma patients. Analysis of the data collected by the sensor will hopefully help scientists understand the causes of ...
