dry water photo photo: Ben Carter File this one in the maybe someday category: At the national meeting of the American Chemical Society scientists have presented work on the potential of so-called 'dry water' to store gases, with an eye to store carbon emissions as well as act as a fuel carrier. Here's the gist of it: ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

river-powered charger image Image via Earthtechling When we see personal chargers, they're almost always based on absorbing energy from the sun. Once in a great while, we also hear of new personal wind-powered chargers. But we almost never hear about water-powered personal chargers. This concept device, called the Vena Microhydro System by designer Danial Hull, bridges a gap in options for the outd... Read the full story on TreeHugger
indonesia deforestation photo Another interesting twist in the ongoing saga of Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and how to slow them: As Mongabay reports, a new report by the World Agroforestry Centre shows that because so many of the nation's emissions from deforestation actually occur outside of places officially designated as forests, the UN REDD program may actual reduce emissions in country far less than intended. The report finds that up to 600 million tons of emissions ar... Read the full story on TreeHugger
mit oil robot photo Images via SENSEableCity MIT's Sensable City Lab directo Carlo Ratti and associate director Assaf Biderman have come up with the SeaSwarm, a robot that uses nanofibers to absorb 20 times its weight in oil, and their hope is that it can be developed into a viable solution for cleaning up the Gulf oil disaster. The 7-foot-wide robots sport at 16-foot-long conveyor belt of paper-like nanofibers that absorb the oil, and are rotated through the machine where the oil is cleaned off. Skimming the surface of the water and powered by sunlight, the robot can continually collect oil. They estimate that ... Read the full story on TreeHugger
screen from shells image Image via engadget One of the major sticking points for making plastics from plants such as corn is that it takes a lot of fossil fuel and resources to grow a crop, just to turn it into plastic that is still difficult to recycle. The pros of plant-based plastics don't really out-weigh the cons. But what if bioplastic could be made from plant waste that is on hand anyway? That's what reserachers at NEC are hoping to create, having formed a plastic made from 70% plant waste, including stems and cashew nut shells.... Read the full story on TreeHugger
pakistan flooding photo photo: Samenwerkende Hulpoganisaties via flickr Though it's de rigueur to say that any single weather event can't be directly linked to climate change, and it's true, what if we could determine how much of say massive flooding or a 1000-year heat wave were caused by human-caused warming? Could the victims hold anyone responsible and sue for damages? That's the question asked in a recent Read the full story on TreeHugger

deep sea oil eating microbe photo Analysis by Berkeley Lab revealed the dominant microbe in the dispersed Gulf of Mexico oil plume was a new species, closely related to members of Oceanospirillalesfamily. Image: Terry Hazen via Science Daily. In what seems a deus ex machina or perhaps deus ex gaia moment, scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report that the miles-long deep sea oil plume which resulted from the BP oil spill has essentially vanished, apparently eaten by micro...
