The Kaust Coral Restoration Initiative is the largest coral restoration project in the world and aims at restoring reefs globally with a primary nursery officially in operation and a second facility in development, both in the Red Sea.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have come up with a new way to store carbon captured from the atmosphere. This new method is claimed to work much faster than the methods currently practiced by industries.

Kaust scientists have developed new techniques that can help to produce nutritious microalgae in industrial volumes. This process will help countries like Saudi Arabia to become less dependent on imported feed products and help them to boost their local domestic food security.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have identified the genetic mutation causing progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) in English Shepherd Dogs and developed a DNA test for it. This allows breeders to identify carriers and avoid passing the disease to puppies, potentially eliminating PRA from the breed. The test costs £48.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with several universities, have developed biodegradable and recyclable luminescent polymers. These polymers, essential in electronics for their light-emitting properties, can now be broken down and reused without losing functionality.

Antarctic canyons play a critical role in the melting of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet by channeling relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water to its base, a new study reveals. Led by the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS), researchers discovered sedimentary formations within these canyons, indicating persistent bottom currents that transport ocean heat.

Researchers at the University of Regensburg have succeeded in hydroformylating olefins at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using iron catalysis and light. This method uses inexpensive 1,3,5-trioxane instead of toxic carbon monoxide and could replace the use of expensive rhodium in the long term.

Researchers have revealed that butterflies and moths accumulate enough static energy through which it can attract pollen grains from flowers from several centimeters away.

Kaust scientists have published a report which provides a comprehensive analysis of climate change and its consequences in the Arabian Peninsula. The report mentions that countries in the Arabian Peninsula should expect more flash floods in the near future.

The Thermo Scientific Linspector Edge In-line Mass Profilometer offers real-time, full-coverage mass loading analysis for battery electrode coating.
