Inexpensive Blue Pigment Enables Efficient One-Step Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Methane

A common blue pigment could help turn carbon dioxide (CO₂) from an industrial waste product into a useful fuel. A joint research team led by Tohoku University's Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR), in collaboration with Hokkaido University and startup AZUL Energy, has developed a catalyst that converts CO₂ directly into methane (CH₄) with high efficiency using copper phthalocyanin

New Method Puts a Twist on Creating Efficient Micromixers

"Micromixer" might just sound like a fancy name for a tiny blender, but mixing liquids at the microliter scale is no simple task. Micromixers are essential components of microfluidic devices that are widely used across the pharmaceutical, life sciences, chemistry, and materials engineering industries, where they rapidly and evenly combine tiny amounts of reagents. Three-dimensional (3D) microchann

Low Temperature Graphene Growth Opens a Route to Sustainable Resource Recycling

Graphene is an exceptionally useful material for creating batteries, catalysts, and electronic devices. Yet producing graphene typically requires temperatures as high as 900°C, limiting energy efficiency and making structural control difficult. To make graphene production more practical, a recent study has overcome this long-standing temperature barrier. In a study published in the Journal of the

Green Hydrogen Production and Storage Using Alcohols, Iron, and Baker's Yeast

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is widely regarded as a promising clean energy source. By weight, it stores nearly three times more energy than gasoline, and its use does not directly release carbon dioxide (CO₂). Yet most H₂ is still produced from fossil fuels through CO₂-intensive processes. Storing and transporting this energy-rich gas are also costly and technically challenging. Therefore, developing sustai

New Study Demonstrates TanSat-2's Potential to Distinguish Human Carbon Emissions from Ecosystem Carbon Sinks

Satellites are becoming increasingly important to track global carbon cycle. China is preparing to launch its next-generation carbon monitoring satellite, TanSat-2, which is designed to provide global and regional observations of column-averaged carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 ). Atmospheric CO 2 observations contain signals from both human activities and carbon exchanged between atmosphe

New Framework Helps Identify Land Degradation Hotspots in Drylands

Not every dry year means degraded land. A new framework published in Catena on August 25 can distinguish persistent degradation from short-term climate fluctuations. Land degradation remains a critical ecological challenge worldwide, undermining ecosystem services, food security, and sustainable development.

Targeted Fish Removals Enhance Native Fish Diversity in Freshwater Protected Areas

Freshwater protected areas (FPAs) are widely promoted as an important conservation tool for rebuilding overexploited fish populations and protecting aquatic habitats. Yet simply banning fishing does not always guarantee ecological recovery. This is partly because non-native, stocked, and benthivorous fishes may also benefit from reduced fishing pressure. A new study suggests that targeted fish rem

Dominant Diatom Thrives via Partnership with Bacteria in China's Major Water Project

Scientists have recently found that a long‑term dominant diatom in China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project maintains its edge through a mutually reinforced cycle with bacteria , whereas a short‑term dominant species lacks such a close partnership and is far less resilient . The study, led by researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was publish

Genetic Strategy Paves Way for Mechanized Goji Berry Harvesting

Goji berry ( Lycium barbarum L.) is a perennial woody cash crop valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties and of significant industrial importance. However, its typical indeterminate growth habit has become a major bottleneck to the development of the goji berry industry. This trait causes goji branches to continuously sprout, bloom, and bear fruit over time. Consequently, flowers and fr

Millions of people living in poverty rely on seagrass meadows for survival, study finds

The research found that at least 18 million people living in poverty fish in seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific. Of these, around 6.5 million are entirely dependent on the habitat for both food and fishing-related income. The study also revealed that households living in extreme poverty were significantly more likely to rely on seagrass meadows for all their fishing activities. Seagrass-depe
