Wetlands cover about 6% of the Earth’s surface and yet store one-third of the world’s soil organic carbon. Climate warming is changing the function and service of wetland ecosystems, according to growing evidence.

According to recent scientific research conducted by the University of Liège, rivers in the Andean mountains contribute 35% and 72% of riverine emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in the Amazon basin, the world’s largest river.

Unlike usual anticipations that the carbon sheet is equally chemically inert as the bulk graphite from which it is extracted, it is now discovered that graphene can become a strong catalyst.

Scientists develop a “best practice” protocol for researchers designing piezoelectric materials. This is the first of its kind in this advanced field of technology.

Investigators recently developed and evaluated an effective and scalable technique for producing soft polymer materials in a variety of structures, or “morphologies,” ranging from ribbons and nanoscale sheets to rods and branched particles.

While Siri and Google Assistant may be able to organize meetings on demand, they currently lack the social intelligence to prioritize the appointments on their own.

With the demand for clean energy and challenge of climate change, there have been growing distresses about the battery production with a higher capacity and high-level safety, which is significant for supporting the uninterrupted growth of grid energy storage systems and electric vehicles.

Today’s civilization is rapidly shifting away from fossil fuels and towards renewable resources and electric batteries. Despite the pressing need to transition to greener techniques, core challenges pertaining to efficiency and sustainability remain.

Conventional robots, such as those employed in manufacturing, are capable of lifting heavy objects and precisely performing automated procedures.

A research group headed by Professor Changlong Jiang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has suggested a novel sensing system for the detection of carbendazim residues with the help of rhodamine B (RB) and ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets.
