This catalyst-free approach opens new pathways for cleaner fuel synthesis and circular carbon systems. Could this be a step towards turning emissions into energy at scale?
Their research shows that by carefully adjusting energy input and gas flow, the composition and efficiency of fuel production can be precisely controlled.
In a new study published in Energy Advances, Maxwell Klein and Joshua Jack from the University of Michigan @umich.edu demonstrate how non-thermal plasma can convert carbon dioxide and water into syngas, a key building block for sustainable fuels.
Can electricity turn pollution into fuel? Discover how plasma systems are reshaping carbon capture and utilisation.

AI does not replace their expertise, but acts as a neutral broker, synthesizing their perspectives into a single, usable lexicon. This human-AI collaboration model could strengthen future climate research worldwide.
Published in Sustainability Science, the research demonstrates the potential for shared terminology to facilitate collaboration between engineers, architects and communities working on energy retrofit strategies for historic buildings.
It shows how artificial intelligence helped build a multilingual sustainability glossary for heritage building renovation across Europe.

From Enrico Mattei’s disruptive deals to the West Siberian pipeline and the nuclear phase-out after the Chornobyl disaster, each decision reinforced long-term reliance.
At the University of Salento, Labbate reveals how structural energy scarcity, strategic policymaking, and economic pragmatism shaped decades of dependence.
How did Italy become dependent on Russian gas long before today’s crises?
New research by Silvio Labbate, published in Cold War History, traces this story back to the postwar era.

Using advanced molecular simulations, the study uncovers hidden mechanisms behind congenital hypothyroidism and challenges traditional views of mutation-driven disease.
New research by Soumyajit Karmakar,Biman Giri,and Sabyashachi Mishra from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur,published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (Royal Society of Chemistry),reveals how even distant mutations can disrupt enzyme function, protein folding, and electron transfer.
What if disease is not caused by where a mutation sits, but how its effects ripple across an entire protein?

Analysing 140 employees across Indian manufacturing hubs, the research shows that communication flow alone explains up to 68 percent of employee performance. From faster decisions to fewer errors, the findings position communication as a critical operational system rather than a soft skill.
A new study by Vidhu Gaur from Management Development Institute Gurgaon, published in the International Journal of Business Communication, reveals how hierarchical communication shapes productivity, profitability, and conflict in industrial systems.
What if the biggest inefficiency in manufacturing is not machines but communication?

The Bastar Craton could become a strategic exploration target for lithium, tin, and rare-earth elements, supporting future energy security and climate technologies.
Published in the Geological Journal, the study combines zircon U-Pb geochronology, mineral chemistry, and whole-rock geochemistry to show that early continental crust formation is linked to critical mineral enrichment.
Reveals that the 2.46-billion-year-old Dongargarh granite contains allanites and zircon with high concentrations of rare earth elements and thorium essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and advanced electronics.
Ancient rocks from Central India may help power the clean energy future. New research by Dr. Sunil Kumar Khare of the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India, and A. S. Venkatesh of IIT ISM Dhanbad, India.
