Crystal gems found in extreme igneous rocks could form within hours, study suggests
Researchers from Rice University in Texas and the University of California, Riverside have found that gems can grow within hours inside extreme igneous rocks called pegmatites, instead of the thousands of years they usually take to form. In a study published in the journal Nature, the researchers described how they examined sample crystals from a pegmatite mine in Southern California. Using […]

Carbon dioxide may be the key to unlocking vast natural gas resources, research says
Carbon dioxide may be used to help produce natural gas from deposits buried deep beneath the Earth. A recent study is proposing that air and carbon dioxide injected into methane ice deposits that are buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could unlock vast natural energy resources. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) […]

Reusing carbon dioxide: Scientists capture and convert it into useful molecules
Researchers at Michigan Technological University have developed a novel device that captures carbon dioxide (CO?) and converts it into useful products. The device, which the team presented at the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration’s annual meeting in Denver, works just like a carbon scrubber to remove CO? from flue gas emitted from power plants. But unlike other scrubbers, which industries are […]

Scientists say that waste from landfills could be recycled as energy or reused as raw materials
We’ve long considered landfills and open dumps as necessary eyesores. However, a Swedish researcher suggests that we could reconsider their contents as sources of potential energy and raw materials, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to Yahya Jani, doctor of environmental science and chemical engineering, if people and industries think of waste as a source of potential […]

Scientists identify an aquatic moss capable of removing arsenic from contaminated water in just ONE HOUR
Water pollution is a serious problem in many parts of the world. It’s particularly dangerous in places where toxic chemicals such as arsenic can be found as contaminants, thereby, putting the lives of people living in the area at great risk of arsenic poisoning. Now, a team of researchers has discovered a new and environmentally […]
