The new electrode works with realistic exhaust gases rather than requiring purified CO2. It converts the captured gas into formic acid, which is used in energy and manufacturing. The system even functions at CO2 levels found in normal air.

International Journal of Sustainable Engineering (Taylor & Francis) · 29 Jan 2026 Research & science Quantum batteries could quadruple qubit capacity while reducing energy infrastructure requirements Scientists have unveiled a new approach to powering quantum computers using quantum batteries—a breakthrough that could make future computers faster, more reliable, and more energy efficient. Phys.org — 'battery recycling' search feed · 28 Jan 2026 Research & science Chip-sized optical amplifier can intensify light 100-fold with minimal energy Light does a lot of work in the modern world, enabling all types of information technology, from TVs to satellites to fiber-optic cables that carry the internet across oceans. Stanford physicists recently found a way to make that light work even harder with an optical amplifier that requires low amounts of energy without any loss of bandwidth, all on a device the size of a fingertip.

Scientists now think their survival in sandstone came from unusual ancient seawater chemistry that created clay “cements” around their bodies after burial. This process captured delicate shapes that would normally vanish.

Carbon Management (Taylor & Francis) · 23 Jan 2026 Research & science Rare rocks beneath Australia reveal the origins of a critical metal Rare rocks buried deep in central Australia have revealed how a valuable niobium deposit formed during the breakup of an ancient supercontinent. More than 800 million years ago, tectonic rifting opened pathways that allowed metal-rich magma to rise from the mantle. These unusual rocks contain niobium, a key ingredient in high-strength steel, electric vehicles, and emerging energy technologies. … ScienceDaily — Recycling and Waste · 23 Jan 2026 Research & science Engineering combination nanomedicines to overcome cancer resistance - The Royal Society of Chemistry Green Chemistry (RSC) · 23 Jan 2026 Research & science Dr Caroline Howe appointed Fellow of the British Ecological Society - Imperial College London Imperial College London News · 23 Jan 2026 Research & science How assumptions shape sustainability – a scenario-based life cycle Assessment of delivery drones Volume 19, Issue 1, December 2026 .
