The ‘Miracle Material’ Strikes Again. Graphene Can Turn CO2 Into Liquid Fuel

Scientists have discovered that "doping" graphene with nitrogen allows it to be an efficient electrocatalyst which can convert environmentally harmful CO2 into useful fuels. The technology is far from being ready for large scale application, yet the research is useful in the development of new catalysts that could provide a variety of useful applications in the future.

Get Involved: DataRescue Events Are Being Scheduled to Preserve Climate Data

Bump it!

In the face of an administration skeptical of manmade climate change, a group is organizing and hosting "DataRescue events" to archive environmental data in danger of being erased. Anyone who cares about data or the environment can and should get involved as the information under threat could prove invaluable to future environmental researchers.
