New water micro cleaner is floating to capture and remove microplastics, which is different from the self
A system that captures microplastics from water works in one cycle. Credit: Orlin Velev/NC State University. In a new paper, researchers at North Carolina State University provide proof of concept of a system that actively removes microplastics from water in a single cycle. The findings listed in the Journal Advanced Functional Materials hold the potential for advances in purifying small…

New theories about dense gases and liquids can help capture carbon
Schematic diagram of variables describing conflicts. Credit: Journal of Chemical Physics (2024). doi:10.1063/5.0236883 The transport of dense gases and liquids is becoming increasingly relevant in relation to carbon capture. Research published in the Journal of Chemical Physics can help you understand more about how to do this most efficiently. Gas must be compressed before transporting over long distances. This can…

Physicists capture the elusive plasma instability in unprecedented detail
“Shadowgraphy” allows scientists to visualize fluctuations in plasma density and measure filament instability. Credit: Imperial College London For the first time, scientists have “photographed” the rare plasma instability in which high-energy electron beams form in spaghetti-like filaments. A new study published in the Physical Review Letter outlines how high-intensity infrared lasers were used to generate filamentation instability. This is a…

“Climate Farm” Strategy Faces Hurdles: Research reveals the potential for limited carbon capture within safe limits
Optimized global distribution of biomass plantations maximizes carbon dioxide removal. Credit: Communications Earth & Environment (2025). doi: 10.1038/s43247-025-02033-6 Plant rapidly growing crops, burn them, capture and store released CO2. This is being discussed as a way to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and limit global heating to 1.5 degrees in the long term. However, if this is done on…

Research is discovered that the carbon capture of the constructed wetland decreases with age.
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain A new study suggests that the constructed wetlands do good jobs in the early days of capturing carbon in an environment that contributes to climate change, but the abilities will decrease over time as the wetlands mature. 。 Researchers investigate soil core samples collected from two constructed freshwater wetlands, and compare them with previous research data…

‘Living’ ceramic uses bacteria to sense gas and capture carbon
Living porous ceramics for carbon capture and gas sensing. Credit: Advanced Materials (2024). DOI: 10.1002/adma.202412555 A team of materials scientists and chemists at ETH Zurich has developed a way to create a “living” ceramic that can detect traces of formaldehyde and capture carbon dioxide from the air. In their project reported in the journal Advanced Materials, the group developed a…
