Decarbonizing China's energy system requires both greening the power supply and electrifying end-use sectors. However, concerns exist that electrification may increase emissions while coal power dominates. Using a global climate model, we explore electrifi ...

Data centers are large electricity consumers due to the high consumption needs of servers and their cooling systems. With the rapid growth of crypto-currency and artificial intelligence, their electricity consumption is expected to increase substantially. ...

The alarming increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, primarily attributed to human-induced fossil fuel combustion for power generation, underscores the urgency for sustainable solutions. The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a promising candidate for ...

Continued greenhouse gas emissions will lead to increasing global warming. Effective adaptation and mitigation policies depend on accurately estimating climate sensitivity, the Earth's surface temperature response to increasing CO2 emissions. Global Climat ...

High entropy materials (HEMs) are highly effective as a catalyst and can be synthesized by facile methods. Here, we discuss recent advancements in HEMs for Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), Oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and Oxygen reduction reaction (O ...

Pore topology and chemistry play crucial roles in the adsorption characteristics of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). To deepen our understanding of the interactions between MOFs and CO2 during this process, we systematically investigate the adsorption prop ...

Diamond is increasingly popular because of its unique material properties. Diamond defects called nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers allow for measurements with unprecedented sensitivity. However, to achieve ideal sensing performance, NV centers need to be with ...

Fuels from bio-based resources hold the potential to supply fossil fuel alternatives at reasonable economic and environmental expenses that can assist emission reduction in the transportation sector. However, apart from a general need to reduce fossil-base ...

Respiratory infectious diseases (RIDs) are generally spread through person-to-person contact. The human oral cavity, in particular, is a significant source of particles that can cause RIDs. Electric toothbrushes, popular for oral cleaning in recent years, ...

Dissolved iron (dFe) availability limits the uptake of atmospheric CO2 by the Southern Ocean (SO) biological pump. Hence, any change in bioavailable dFe in this region can directly influence climate. On the basis of Fe uptake experiments with Phaeocystis a ...
