The research team, led by Illinois Sustainable Technology Center research scientist Wei Zheng, left, and ISTC postdoctoral researcher Hongxu Zhou, added a “designer biochar” water-treatment component ...

An economically viable model to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been developed to thwart runaway, point-of-no-return global warming. The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar ...

Scientists have developed a new edge-of-field water-treatment system that reduces the load of excess nutrients washing into waterways from farm drainage systems. Their method combines a woodchip ...

Concrete is one of the most common materials on Earth, thanks to its high strength and low cost – but it’s also one of the largest single sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Engineers at Washington ...
