A Japanese research team has developed a groundbreaking method to synthesize ultra-small carbon nanowires with record-high concentrations of long linear carbon chains. This breakthrough could finally enable researchers to study the elusive properties of carbynes, predicted to be among the strongest
Researchers have discovered a novel microbe that thrives in high-ammonia environments where other methane producers fail. The finding explains why some waste processing facilities maintain energy production under challenging conditions while others struggle.
Scientists have identified a previously unknown microorganism that plays a crucial role in converting food waste into renewable energy, according to research published in Nature Microbiology. The discovery emerged from studying microbial communities at Surrey’s biofuel facility in British Columbia, where 115,000 tons of food waste annually undergoes transformation into renewable natural gas (RNG).

Leading scientists indicate protecting and restoring natural ecosystems could provide over one-third of global emission reductions required by 2030. These approaches simultaneously address climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health crises through cost-effective interventions.
Global communities face interconnected environmental, economic, and public health challenges that require innovative cross-sector approaches, according to expert analysis. Nature-based solutions (NbS) – defined as actions that protect, restore, and sustainably manage ecosystems – are emerging as a comprehensive framework addressing these converging crises. Sources indicate these approaches reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve human wellbeing, and cultivate economic stability through cost-effective interventions.
