Water surfaces, oceans and seas in particular, are natural sinkholes for carbon dioxide gas. And it just so happens that man made sure that Earth's atmosphere has plenty of carbon dioxide, which is absorbed into water, thus making it more acidic in the respective areas. This in turn affects the marine life such ... |

The incredible amount of energy released by the Sun on a daily basis in the African deserts, if harnessed, could not only provide the whole African continent with electrical energy but might also be enough to power some parts of the European continent as well. Calculations show that the Sun produces about 1.5 barrels... |

Pseudoscience or finally the real thing? Well, that still remains to be seen, but if it indeed works then mankind will be able to generate large amounts of energy at room temperature without worrying about waste or fuel. In the last decades, researchers have been frantically trying to demonstrate that cold fusion is ... |

Think of a conventional wind turbine. You will most likely imagine a giant platform towering several tens of meters in the air on which a 15 meter long blade spins wildly. It doesn't seem to be very practical, does it? That's because it's not. The solution may be in scalable wind turbine designs, which... |

Petrol price is now beating every record possible and there's no sign that its ascension will stop anytime soon. On the other hand, alternative renewable energy sources seem to remain inefficient. Nonetheless, researchers argue that, in the next decade or so, fossil fuel dependency will be a thing of the past. "... |

How do you make hydrogen more solid than a solid? It doesn't make any sense! It might not make sense to us, however researchers from the National Institute of Standard and Technology's Center for Neutron Research could have found the answer in what they call metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs for short. They... |

It's official, BMW's Hydrogen 7 prototype is world's cleanest vehicle! Tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory reveal that the hydrogen-powered engine of the BMW Hydrogen 7 surpasses that of the super-ultra low-emission vehicles, a standard for low emission v... |

Scientists say hydrogen is the way to go in the future. There's plenty of hydrogen all around us, it is completely environmentally friendly and can provide the energy required to power our cars. No sweat, we'll be having fuel cell cars in no time! However, while harnessing its power would be no problem, sto... |

Would converting cars that run on petrol into biofuel propelled ones finally save us from global warming, or not? No chance, say environmental researchers after completing a study on converting biowaste into biofuel. And to top that up, biofuel conversion could even worsen the emission of greenhouse gases. This is mo... |

The first ever public electric power distribution system appeared in the late 19th century and mostly supplied direct currents, with multiple output voltages, or under the form of alternating current, which reverses the polarity of the current every 20 milliseconds. However, the energy demand and the advantages that ... |

They should really get this right once and for all. Is global warming triggered by the large emission of greenhouse gases by man or not? According to a handful of scientists in the U.S., mankind cannot be held responsible for the global warming effect currently observed on Earth. Strangely enough the American experts... |

The U.S. emits about one quarter of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the world, which pretty much makes it the biggest pollutant. About 85 percent of the total emissions in North America come from the U.S., 9 percent from Canada, and 3 percent from Mexico. Studies show that in the next 50 years, the gas emission... |
