(Photo: University of Cambridge) Cambridge: Scientists have created a sponge that can absorb carbon from the air. This sponge works like a battery by charging the charcoal. When it is charged, the charcoal ‘sponge’ is able to extract carbon dioxide directly from the air. The scientists involved in the research said that they chose this…
Washington: Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are working on battery technologies that could help fight climate change. These batteries will increase the use of renewable energy and help combat climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide. This type of battery stores renewable energy generated by solar panels or wind…

Works emit hundreds of times less carbon than A joint study by the University of Kansas and the University of California-Irvine compared artificial intelligence systems ChatGTP, BloomAI, DALL-E2 and…
New York: A new study conducted in the United States has shown that a 25 percent reduction in carbon emissions could reduce birth defects, autism diagnoses and annual child deaths in 60,000 children. In a study, researchers at Columbia University simulated the scenario of air pollution changes from 2022 to 2032, trying to find out…
An American start-up company is trying to combat climate change by using cutting-edge technology to simultaneously distill carbon dioxide from air and seawater to create hydrogen as an alternative fuel. Big tech and oil companies are investing in two strategies to combat climate change. The first strategy is to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere…
To distill carbon dioxide, scientists have developed a salt that can store ribbons of carbon dioxide at ambient pressure and temperature using minimal energy. Experts have named it “Gonidinium Sulphate”. This approach could change the way industry captures, transports and stores this greenhouse gas. An international team of scientists conducted an electrical charge in liquid…
NASA, with the help of its satellites and ground stations, has provided an overview of the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions around the world. Photo: File Pasadena, California: The American space agency NASA, with the help of its Earth observation satellite and ground data, around 60 scientists have identified the places that are playing…
Experts have been researching for years to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly materials for building. In this regard, now the construction wood has been changed by engineering to make it environment friendly, because it can absorb carbon dioxide. Construction emits a large amount of carbon dioxide and the process of making cement is also very…
Shown on the left is normal construction wood and on the right is colorless modified wood that can absorb carbon dioxide. Photo: Rice University New York: Research on sustainable and eco-friendly materials for building has been going on for years and now engineered wood has been engineered to be eco-friendly as it can absorb carbon…
