Researchers unravel the complex reaction pathways in zero-carbon fuel synthesis
When the eCO2EP: A chemical energy storage technology project started in 2018, the objective was to develop ways of converting carbon dioxide emitted as part of industrial processes into useful...
View ArticlePhone-based measurements provide fast, accurate information about the health...
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, developed the algorithm, which gives an accurate measurement of tree diameter, an important measurement used by scientists to monitor forest health...
View ArticleWebb sees carbon-rich dust grains in the first billion years of cosmic time
Similar observational signatures have been observed in the much more recent universe, and have been attributed to complex, carbon-based molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It is...
View ArticleMillions of carbon credits are generated by overestimating forest preservation
Study analyses major carbon offset projects, and finds that – of a potential 89 million credits – only 5.4 million (6%) were linked to additional carbon reductions through tree conservation.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a method to produce very low-emission concrete at scale – an innovation that could be transformative for the transition to net zero.
View ArticleElectrified charcoal ‘sponge’ can soak up CO2 directly from the air
Researchers from the University of Cambridge used a method similar to charging a battery to instead charge activated charcoal, which is often used in household water filters.By charging the charcoal...
View ArticleEarliest detection of metal challenges what we know about the first galaxies
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers led by the University of Cambridge observed a very young galaxy in the early universe and found that it contained...
