Carbon emissions from fertilisers could be reduced by as much as 80% by 2050
Feb 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have calculated the carbon footprint for the full life cycle of fertilisers, which are responsible for approximately five percent of total greenhouse gas emissions – the first time this has been accurately quantified – and found that carbon emissions could be reduced to one-fifth...
Elusive transition shows universal quantum signatures
Feb 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) There are stark differences between metals, through which electrons flow freely, and electrical insulators, in which electrons are essentially immobile. And despite the obvious difficulties in finding a way to switch back and forth from a metal to an insulator within one material, physicists are...
