Researchers find two strains of diesel-eating bacteria in Antarctica

Green Car Congress

This insight could potentially inform bioremediation efforts in the region. Optimization improved the ability of ADL15 to degrade diesel in a test environment from 22.39% to 38.32%, and of ADL36 from 83.75% to 99.89%. An open-access paper on the work appears in the journal Microbial Cell Factories. Habib et al.

Study finds megacity traffic soot can reach high altitudes and be transported over long distances, contributing to global warming

Green Car Congress

An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. While altitude observatories in the Himalayas or the Alps provide insights into these processes, the picture is still very incomplete, especially for the Southern Hemisphere.

Taking Cosmology to the Far Side of the Moon

Cars That Think

A team of Chinese researchers are planning to use the moon as a shield to detect otherwise hard-to-observe low frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum and open up a new window on the universe. If it launches in 2025 as planned it will offer one the very first glimpses of the universe through a new lens. The unknown unknowns.”

Study: countries seeking to cut CO2 emissions must get a handle on city-level emissions

Green Car Congress

The researchers set out a framework for gathering and analyzing local information about how cities contribute to pollution levels, and show how these insights could be used to target climate mitigation initiatives most effectively. Everything practical that you would need to do to reduce emissions happens at a city level.
