Cleaner

Believe it or not, this is Ecovacs' second robotic window cleaner model, as the first, Winbot X, was launched in 2018. Since then, Ecovacs has taken feedback from customers to heart and created an all-in-one robot window cleaner, complete with a portable station.The Winbot W2 robotic window cleaner attaches to windows like a robot vacuum, defying gravity, but it has built-in drop protection. It features three nozzles for a wide-angle spray that covers the cleaning area as it goes along, without allowing any drippage. The…

A look inside the MEPS reactor (Methane Eradication Photochemical System), where chlorine atoms are formed by UV light and react with methane gas. Credit: Morten KrogsbøllIn a spectacular new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have used light and chlorine to eradicate low-concentration methane from air. The result gets us closer to being able to remove greenhouse gases from livestock housing, biogas production plants and wastewater treatment plants to benefit the climate.The Intergovernmental Panel on…

Methane is the second biggest greenhouse gas contributor to climate change. It’s also 84 times more potent than culprit number one, carbon dioxide. Unsurprisingly, 60% of global emissions result from human activity. While reducing methane emissions is key to tackling global warming, removing it from the air has proven challenging. That’s because the gas can be burnt off from air when its concentration exceeds 4%. However, the majority of human-caused emissions are below 0.1%. Now, a research…

People in many parts of the world are trying to lower their impact on the climate. From companies to countries, a lot of groups have goals to reduce their environmental impact. With innovation in areas like electric vehicles, wastewater treatment and battery recycling, among many others, those goals seem easier to attain than ever before. But could it really be that easy? While much of this progress sets countries and organizations up for a cleaner future in the long run, the actual transition…

Hydrogen energy is an emerging clean and sustainable source of power that holds great potential for a greener future. As the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen can be produced from renewable resources and used as a versatile fuel for electricity generation, transportation, and industrial applications. Its combustion only produces water vapor as a byproduct, making it a promising solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.Scientists from the University of Kansas and the U.S.…
