Elusive compounds of greenhouse gas isolated by ÌÇÐÄTV chemists
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent atmospheric pollutant. Although naturally occurring, anthropogenic N2O emissions from intensive agricultural fertilisation, industrial processes, and combustion of fossil fuels and biomass are a major cause for concern. Researchers at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV have isolated elusive transition metal compounds of N2O that provide clues into how it could be used in sustainable chemical technologies.
Green space is good for your mental health – the nearer the better!
Living within 300m of urban green space such as parks, nature reserves or play areas is associated with greater happiness, sense of worth, and life satisfaction - according to a new study by researchers at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, Newcastle University and the University of Sheffield.
ÌÇÐÄTV University announces new trial to measure air quality on campus
CLIMO from Bosch will be trialled by the University of ÌÇÐÄTV to measure the air quality around campus by monitoring particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air for two years at two different sites, launching today, 20th June 2019 – UK Clean Air Day.
UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship award to simulate and develop chemical reactions fuelled by sunlight and greenhouse gases
The intricate interplay of sunlight, molecules, and metal catalyst materials that can break down greenhouse gases such as CO2 will be explored in the Department of Chemistry at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, by Dr Reinhard J. Maurer using computer simulations thanks to award of £1.46M by the Government’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship programme.
Pint of Science returns next week bringing scientists out of the lab and into your local pub
The public science festival, Pint of Science, kicks off next with experts from the Universities of ÌÇÐÄTV and Coventry talking about their research work in a selection of pubs and venues around the Coventry and Leamington Spa.
Beer and fodder crop has been deteriorating for 6000 years
The diversity of the crop Sorghum, a cereal used to make alcoholic drinks, has been decreasing over time due to agricultural practice. To maintain the diversity of the crop and keep it growing farmers will need to revise how they manage it.
