Progress in the Search for Better Battery Tech
A new paper by Conservancy NatureNet Science Fellow Won-Hee Ryu may ultimately help scientists overcome one of the most intractable technological obstacles to wholesale adoption of clean energy.
R&D for a Future Powered by Clean Energy
Building a Better Battery: NatureNet Science Fellow makes a breakthrough in the effort to build cost-effective and energy-efficient ways to store clean energy on the world's power grids.
Adventures in Alternative Energy: Giant Clam Edition
The world's largest clams may well hold the missing link to large-scale production of clean biofuels from algae.
Wake Up to Blue Carbon
Climate change is a portfolio problem, and we need carbon-storing coastal wetlands to help solve it.
Putting Conservation on the Map: A Blueprint for a Healthy Planet
New research from Conservancy scientists provides a blueprint for guiding development to best protect the last remaining wild places.
The Transformation of Gabon: Can Nature Make Economic Development Work Better for People?
Can Gabon find a way to achieve its development goals while protecting nature? Can valuing nature's services to people help achieve that balance?
Building a Better Battery
NatureNet Science Fellow Won-Hee Ryu -- materials scientist and nanotechnology expert -- might not be a typical Conservancy scientist, but his work could have as much benefit to society (and nature) as traditional biodiversity conservation.
Is the Future of Sustainability in Nanotechnology?
More than half of the energy generated in the U.S. is lost as heat. Where some people might see only wasted potential, NatureNet Fellow Haoran Yang sees a huge opportunity.
Recent Study Offers First Comprehensive Picture of Appalachian Energy Development
Energy development is booming in the Appalachians. What does this mean for conservation? A new study offers the first comprehensive picture.
A Different Perspective to Understand How Energy Impacts Biodiversity
New research reveals how little we know about how energy development impacts biodiversity, and pinpoints a potential solution.
Better Green Living Through Chemistry
Conservancy NatureNet Fellow Sen Zhang and colleagues announced a process that overcomes a key obstacle to wider adoption of renewable energy fuel cells: their prohibitive cost.
Wind Turbines and Birds: What’s the Real Story?
Cats and window collisions kill more birds, but that doesn't mean conservationists should ignore the effects of wind turbines. Blogger David Mehlman takes a look at the science, and finds significant impacts to both birds and bats.
