Researchers and artists collaborated to ‘painting with light,’ turning unseen air pollution becomes visible evidence. This innovative project attempts to highlight the health dangers that people who work and live in Ethiopia, India, and the United Kingdom encounter. The team has created dramatic visual evidence of pollution levels in three countries’ [...]
A revolutionary study provides new insights into three major climate technologies that aim to protect or boost the blue carbon naturally collected by marine and coastal environments. These breakthroughs include fast initiatives to safeguard the Great Barrier Reef’s ecosystem, satellite-tracked kelp banks in the deep sea, and seagrass sanctuaries in [...]
A recent perspective paper in Natural Climate Change offers novel Demand-side Strategies to dramatically reduce the consumption of resources and fossil fuel air pollution. This study, led by Felix Creutzig of the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) in Berlin, Germany, involves inputs from IIASA researchers Alessio [...]
The current spike in food costs isn’t just terrible news for grocery store shoppers; it also has important ramifications for the sugars used in biomanufacturing. Biomanufacturing, encompassing the production of food, plastics, and other commodity chemicals, is primarily reliant on sugar. Biomanufacturing has turned out to be less environmentally friendly [...]
To address the mounting dangers to reef ecosystems, researchers at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) invented a groundbreaking technique for forecasting coral disease. This technique represents a significant leap in marine conservation, allowing conservationists to execute immediate actions that can reduce the effects of [...]
In the field of genetics, the variety and complexity of the ecosystem on Earth are frequently evaluated by the total amount of the DNA molecule, the molecular structure that conveys the genetic codes for the formation, operating improvement, and reproduction across all known creatures. A recent remarkable finding shattered prior [...]
Water pollution is a worldwide problem that threatens habitats, human wellness, and economies. Traditional wastewater treatment technologies can be expensive and resource-intensive, so researchers are looking for novel and sustainable solutions. One unexpected and intriguing approach is the utilization of discarded beer yeast. Breweries are generally renowned for making beer, but [...]
In the heart of bustling London, where skyscrapers pierce the clouds and the hum of traffic is incessant, there lies an oasis of nature’s own design. Nestled within the urban landscape of Greenford in the Ealing Beaver project, a unique experiment is underway, one that brings together the wild and [...]
The globe has a twofold challenge: a considerable amount of the food produced each year gets wasted while millions go hungry. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), nearly one-third of worldwide food production goes to waste each year, totaling 1.3 billion tons. At the same time, [...]
According to University of Michigan research, devices that convert heat into electric energy are becoming more realistic for grid applications, with a 44% efficiency rating. This is a big step toward the theoretical ideal efficiency for such technology. Revolutionary Heat Batteries: Heat batteries emerged as a promising way to store intermittent renewable energy. [...]
