Microbes hold the key: unlocking sustainable carbon storage in farmland with biochar
2+ mon, 3+ week ago (722+ words) Biochar, a charcoal-like substance made from biomass, offers a promising pathway for storing carbon in agricultural soils, helping to offset climate change. Despite its potential, the precise mechanisms, particularly the role of diverse microbial communities, influencing its long-term effectiveness remain…...
How Pretreatment Unlocks More Biogas From Agricultural Waste, According to
8+ min ago (55+ words) Every year, farms and food-processing plants generate staggering volumes of straw, husks, stalks, manure, and processing residues, much of which rots away or is burned. These materials are rich in energy, but for the microbes that convert organic matter into…...
Engineered Bacterial Teams Turn Sunlight and CO2 Into 1-Butanol
11+ min ago (350+ words) Scientists at Uppsala University have taken a significant step toward a long-sought goal in industrial biotechnology: using sunlight and carbon dioxide to feed engineered microbes that churn out valuable chemicals. In a study published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Stamatina…...
Atomic Swap in Two-Dimensional Nitrides Unlocks Five New Water-Splitting
11+ min ago (506+ words) A single-atom substitution could transform one of the most exciting families of two-dimensional materials from a laboratory curiosity into a working engine for solar fuels....
Tea Catechins Transform Waste Rice Bran into Powerful Emulsion Stabilizers
48+ min ago (55+ words) Rice bran, the fibrous outer layer stripped away when brown rice is polished into white rice, is produced at a staggering scale of more than 63 million tons every year. Most of it is pressed for its oil, but what remains…...
Flower-Powered Carbon Doped With Manganese Boosts Supercapacitors and Solar
57+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...
Microbes Turn Renewable Electricity and CO2 Into Valuable Chemicals
1+ hour ago (696+ words) Scientists at Pusan National University have published a comprehensive review showing that microorganisms wired directly to electrical circuits could become the backbone of a carbon-negative chemical industry.

Discarded Lithium-Ion Batteries Brought Back to Life With Thermochemical
1+ hour, 34+ min ago (641+ words) Every electric vehicle that rolls off an assembly line today carries within it a promise of cleaner transportation and, eventually, a difficult waste problem. Lithium-ion batteries degrade with use, and when they can no longer hold enough charge to propel…...
Enzyme Trick Turns Bioethanol Waste Oil Into High-Value Renewable Fuel
1+ hour, 39+ min ago (73+ words) A humble byproduct of bioethanol fermentation, long relegated to low-value disposal, could soon find itself blended into the world’s fuel tanks. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have shown that fusel oil, the mixture of higher alcohols that distillers skim…...
Marble Dust Turns Industrial Waste Into Stronger, Longer-Lasting Aluminium
1+ hour, 49+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have found a way to transform ordinary marble dust, a low-value by-product of the stone-cutting industry, into a powerful additive that makes one of the world’s most widely used aluminium alloys significantly stronger and more resistant to…...
