TEHRAN (ANA)- Current methods of capturing and releasing carbon are expensive and so energy-intensive they often require, counterproductively, the use of fossil fuels. Taking inspiration from plants, researchers have assembled a chemical process that can power carbon capture with an energy source that's abundant, clean and free: sunlight.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Small autonomous underwater vehicles, like the drones of the sea, could be very useful for studying the depths of the ocean and monitoring its changing conditions. But such nautical mini bots can be easily overpowered by turbulent ocean currents.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists have successfully engineered a novel bacteria strain capable of simultaneously degrading five types of organic pollutants in high-salinity industrial wastewater.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Kerman is one of the Southern provinces of Iran which produces more electricity than it consumes in electricity production and combined cycle power plants and also contributes to national dispatching.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Higher levels of micronanoplastics were found in carotid artery plaque, especially in people with stroke symptoms, suggesting a potential new risk factor.
TEHRAN (ANA)- New research shows that elevation changes and earthquakes in Italy's Campi Flegrei volcanic area are caused by rising pressure in a geothermal reservoir -- not magma or its gases, as commonly thought. Channeling water runoff or lowering groundwater levels could reduce risks for surrounding communities.
TEHRAN (ANA)- A technological team at Tarbiat Modarres University designed a nano-based floating desalination device that can turn salt water into drinkable water in 8 hours without the need for electrical energy.
TEHRAN (ANA)- The 9th International Renewable Energy Exhibition and Conference will be held in Tehran on May 24-25 with the support of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
