This device was inspired by the process of photosynthesis in plants.

Technology turns harmful waste products into beneficial stuff.

A futuristic fuel is on the way and powered by sunshine!

Researchers have 'hacked' the earliest stages of photosynthesis, the natural machine that powers the vast majority of life on Earth, and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process, a finding that could lead to new ways of generating clean fuel and renewable energy.

A University of Cambridge scientists team, led by professor Erwin Reisner, has created a solar-powered flow reactor that can capture C02 from the air at night a

Cambridge University said its researchers have developed an electric-eel-inspired, jelly-like, battery for use in wearable devices and potentially for brain implants to treat neurological conditions.

Researchers have developed floating 'artificial leaves' that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and could eventually operate on a large scale at sea.

In a remarkable shift from conventional knowledge, a recent study reveals groundbreaking insights into the behavior of water molecules.

Researchers have found that the cooling effect that volcanic eruptions have on Earth's surface temperature is likely underestimated by a factor of two, and potentially as much as a factor of four, in standard climate projections.

Researchers have demonstrated how carbon dioxide can be captured from industrial processes—or even directly from the air—and transformed into clean, sustainable fuels using just the energy from the sun.

Conceived by researchers at the University of Cambridge, the technology converts carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuels using the power of the Sun.

Scientists have developed an artificially intelligent algorithm capable of beating climate scientists at predicting how and when different materials form ice crystals. The program -- IcePic -- could help atmospheric scientists improve climate change models in the future.

Researchers have developed an efficient concept to turn carbon dioxide into clean, sustainable fuels, without any unwanted by-products or waste.

In the UK, researchers from Cambridge University have developed a solar-powered technology that converts carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuels that can be added directly to a car's engine as drop-in fuel.  While the technology is still at laboratory scale, the researchers say their 'artificial leaves' are an important step in the transition away […]

A collaboration between scientists at Cambridge and UCL has led to the discovery of a new form of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that water in a one-molecule layer acts like neither a liquid nor a solid, and that it becomes highly conductive at high pressures.

Researchers have developed a low-cost device that can selectively capture carbon dioxide gas while it charges. Then, when it discharges, the CO2 can be released in a controlled way and collected to be reused or disposed of responsibly.
