Climate change focuses research on ocean areas depleted of oxygen, leading to discovery that topples tough doubts

New-generation lateral solar cells promise to be the next big thing for compact devices

What kind of vegetation makes buffer zones most efficient at removing nitrogen from runoff?

Bioelectrodes also have a big appetite for waste and are ready to be scaled up and used to clean up industrial sites while producing electricity as a byproduct

Doctoral student earns national recognition for research to restore soil at historic mines

While some of today’s solar cells use a blend of cadmium and tellurium to convert light into electricity, adding the optimum amount of selenium in the right places could help increase efficiency

To restore the grasslands of the Great Plains, a Nebraska ecologist says, bring back high intensity fires

The research could help automakers meet automotive recycling regulations that have been adopted in Europe and could be on the way to the United States

The planet has many carbon sinks, or routes that transfer heat-trapping carbon from the atmosphere into other parts of the Earth system

Unlike conventional solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity that must be stored in heavy batteries, the new device essentially does the work of plants, converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into fuel
