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. [...]
Ships emit a considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), accounting for around 3% of total human-caused CO2 emissions. With few alternatives for reducing their carbon impact, a unique technology suggests that ships could absorb CO2 emissions via a naturally occurring chemical reaction. This process includes bubbling exhaust through saltwater and limestone, converting CO2 to stable [...]
Despite careful consumer attempts to separate and sort recyclables, the grim reality is that the majority of recyclable plastic bottles end up in landfills. The limits of traditional recycling technologies play a key role in this issue. Traditional recycling procedures primarily limited to the processing of type one and type two plastics, which include soda plastic bottles, bottles of water, and milk jugs. This [...]
Carbon dioxide (CO2), which contributes significantly to emissions of greenhouse gases and global warming, can converted from a pollution to a beneficial resource. Scientists from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, Northern Illinois University, and Valparaiso University invented an array of tin-based catalysts able to convert CO2 into widely produced chemicals [...]
Located in the middle of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tijuca National Park exemplifies nature’s persistence and the impact of human intervention in conservation. This urban forest, which covers around 39.58 square kilometers, is the world’s largest of its sort, providing a verdant oasis amid a bustling city. However, Tijuca National Park’s history is not only one [...]
In the vast and harsh geography of the Rocky Mountains, the revival of grizzly bears demonstrates the potential of corridors for wildlife and habitat reconnection. These vast mountains, which reach from the northwest United States to Canada along the way to Mexico, provide habitat for a variety of wildlife, including grizzly bears, wolverines, and [...]
The idea of sustainability comprises a wide range of viewpoints and beliefs, representing the various ways in which people regard and interact with nature. It is feasible to align different value systems to accomplish common sustainability goals despite these discrepancies. The article examines how many natural values from relational to intrinsic to instrumental can converge toward shared sustainability goals that are backed by interdisciplinary [...]
The number of American oil refineries surpassing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) action standard for benzene has decreased by half since 2020, according to recent research by the Environmental Integrity Project, marking a significant victory in the battle against air pollution. In terms of lowering the amount of cancer-causing agents in the air [...]
The majestic pyramids of Egypt have remained for millennia as mysterious representations of the grandeur and inventiveness of the past. Scholars and adventurers have captivated by the mysteries surrounding their construction, leading to a plethora of ideas and conjectures. One of the most puzzling riddles is how the ancient Egyptians crossed [...]
