The UK will build the first ever liquid air energy storage plant, based on an idea from a backyard inventor.

Moving from coal to natural gas could help save a lot of water, but moving to renewables would use just a fraction of the water we use today for power.

A widely-used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an ‘artificial leaf’ that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and which could eventually be used to develop a sustainable liquid fuel alternative to petrol.

A promising replacement for the toxic and flammable greenhouse gases that are used in most refrigerators and air conditioners has been identified by researchers from the University of Cambridge.

Study of minerals widely used in industrial processes could lead to discovery of new materials for catalysis and filtering.

Studying a common material at room temperature, researchers bring quantum behavior “closer to our daily life.”

Ultrathin coating could protect 2D materials from corrosion, enabling their use in optics and electronics.

New research looks at how environmental taxes can work for everyone, in Spain and beyond.

Researchers at Harvard and Cornell have discovered exactly how a reactive copper-nitrene catalyst could transform a strong carbon-hydrogen bonds into a carbon-nitrogen bond, a valuable building block for chemical synthesis.

Research shows that, contrary to accepted rule of thumb, a 10- or 15-year lifetime can be good enough.
