Researchers at Cornell University discovered a new species of bacteria that can break down organic contaminants in the soil. The new species was named Paraburkholderia madseniana in honor of the late Gene Madsen, the microbiology professor who started the research. The species is particularly adept at breaking down aromatic compounds (ring-like molecules of carbon), a […]

"At the end of the day, fighting climate change is really what we need to be advocating for."
Japan plans to build 36 coal power plants in the next decade.
Recycling facilities in the US can't process most of the plastics
A team of researchers from the US and China has developed a passive, solar-powered desalinization system that could quench the thirst of remote, arid coastal areas on the cheap. The system employs several layers of solar evaporators and condensers stacked on top of each other in a vertical array, topped off with an insulating layer […]

Science could make culling obsolete -- saving billions of chick lives every year.
Climate change will force species to migrate in search of ideal living conditions, and a new paper estimates where they’ll go in order to inform conservation efforts. Each species has a set of conditions it likes to live in — a certain amount of light, a temperature that’s just right, certain habitats to act as […]

The steel industry seeks to be greener. But there's a long way ahead
New research is allowing solar cells to work at night. Although it sounds like fantasy, Jeremy Munday, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California (UC) Davis says it’s completely possible. In fact, a new study by Munday and graduate student Tristan Deppe describes a specially-designed photovoltaic cell […]
Fossil footprints from the Karoo Basin of southern Africa could teach us more about how ecosystems respond to truly massive volcanic eruptions. The Karoo Basin is covered in extensive basaltic lava flows from the Early Jurassic. It’s believed that the intense volcanic activity recorded during that time had a powerful impact on global climate and […]
