When the River Runs Dry
What do you call a stream with no water? A wash? A gulch? An arroyo? Whatever name you prefer, get ready to use it more often when you’re talking about the western US.
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.
NanoTech for Clean Water
Want to know the best thing about the story of Ming and the Nanoscavengers? Every word of it is true, and the special effects, courtesy of nanotechnology, are real.
Does Removing Habitat Around Farm Fields Really Make Our Food Safer?
Three people died and hundreds were sickened in a 2006 outbreak of E. coli. Wildlife eventually took part of the blame, but does removing habitat near fields to keep wildlife out actually make our food safer? A NatureNet Science Fellow investigates in a new video.
Can We Grow Safe Produce and Conserve Nature at the Same Time?
Farmers are destroying habitat near farms out of fear that wildlife is spreading E. coli and other pathogens to their fields. But is wildlife a source of foodborne illness? New research from Conservancy scientists suggests not.
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.
Diversify Your Species: New Paper from NatureNet Fellow Danny Karp
An encouraging study published in Science suggests farmers have the power to prevent a lot of species extinctions simply by adopting changes in their practices.
