Betonkugeln unter Wasser als Stromspeicher: Dieses Konzept übertrifft Batterien

Kommentar verfassen / Verwendung / Von

Strom lässt sich nicht nur in Batterien bunkern, sondern auch in Betonkugeln. Dies hat das Fraunhofer-Institut für Energiewirtschaft und Energiesystemtechnik (IEE) bereits vor Jahren im Bodensee gezeigt. Jetzt will es das System in größerem Maßstab vor der Küste Kaliforniens testen. Anzeige Woher die Energie in den Kugelspeichern kommt Die hohlen Betonkugeln befinden sich unter Wasser …

Ocean density identified as a key driver of carbon capture by marine plankton

Kommentar verfassen / Ressourcen / Von

New findings, published today in Royal Society Open Science , have revealed that changes in ocean density have a significant impact on the rate at which marine plankton incorporate carbon into their shells. This has profound implications for carbon cycling and the ocean’s ability to absorb atmospheric CO 2 in response to climate change. Up …

Climate change causes more sediment in high-mountain rivers

Kommentar verfassen / Extremereignisse / Von

Many high-mountain rivers in Asia transport more sediment downstream compared to a few years ago. Changes in sediment levels have a particularly strong impact on agriculture, water quality, flood management, and hydropower generation. A study with participation from the University of Potsdam demonstrates the interacting roles of glaciers, vegetation, precipitation, and slope in mobilizing sediment …

Sustainable biomass framework removes 99.9% of microplastics from water, study finds

Kommentar verfassen / Ressourcen / Von

Scientists have unveiled a new environmentally adaptable adsorbent capable of removing up to 99.9% of microplastics from water. Developed through the supramolecular self-assembly of chitin, derived from squid bone, and cellulose extracted from cotton, this biomass fibrous framework offers a sustainable solution for one of the most pressing global environmental challenges.

Bislang unbekannte Verbindung in chloraminiertem Trinkwasser identifiziert

Kommentar verfassen / Wasserversorgung / Von

Seit den 80ern ist bekannt, dass sich in chloraminiertem Trinkwasser eine mysteriöse Verunreinigung bildet – doch erst jetzt konnte ein Schweiz-Amerikanisches Forschungsteam das unbekannte Produkt in US-Trinkwasseranlagen identifizieren. Es dauerte mehr als 40 Jahre, um den Abbau anorganischer Chloramin-Desinfektionsmittel in US-amerikanischen Trinkwassersystemen zu verstehen. In Kürze Forschende haben eine potenziell toxische Verbindung identifiziert – ein …
