52+ min ago   (660+ words) Two of the most troublesome greenhouse gases, methane and carbon dioxide, can be forced to react with one another in a process known as dry reforming of methane, a reaction that converts both pollutants into valuable synthesis gas, a mixture…...

1+ hour, 34+ min ago   (537+ words) Deep in the steaming runoff channels of Taiwan’s hot springs, a group of microbes has been quietly rewriting the rules of photosynthesis. These are the far-red light-utilizing cyanobacteria, or FRLCyano, organisms capable of extending oxygenic photosynthesis beyond the visible spectrum…...

1+ hour, 45+ min ago   (524+ words) Every year, the world brews billions of cups of coffee, and almost all of the spent grounds end up in landfills, where they slowly decompose and release methane....

1+ hour, 59+ min ago   (55+ words) Researchers have unveiled a hybrid artificial intelligence framework that dramatically improves the accuracy of biomass energy forecasting, a capability that could reshape how renewable energy systems are operated, maintained, and integrated into modern power grids. The study, published in the…...
