When the climate crisis dominates headlines but often feels too large for meaningful action, how can university researchers invite the next generation to engage, imagine and lead? Here, Nadera Assim s ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in Chile has released its final batch of data after 15 years — and it proves that the Hubble tension, a rift in our understanding of the universe, is very real.

Scientists developed a high-performance hydrogen-production catalyst using lignin, a common waste product from paper and biorefinery processes. The nickel–iron oxide nanoparticles embedded in carbon ...

They didn’t call it sustainability, but their quiet resourcefulness shaped a way of living that modern society is only just starting to rediscover. Sustainability wasn’t always a lifestyle choice. For ...

Many call it “minimalism,” but what if some of those mindful habits are really just privilege disguised as simplicity? There’s a fine line between simplicity and privilege. Somewhere between the rise ...

Researchers have found a new approach for monitoring and modeling glass corrosion in environmental and nuclear waste management. They have uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new mathematical model that could improve the evaluation of potential storage sites for nuclear waste and carbon dioxide. The approach provides a ...

Some companies are working to remedy the issue. Some AI chatbots rely on flawed research from retracted scientific papers to answer questions, according to recent studies. The findings, confirmed by ...

The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical process transforms plastic waste into an effective carbon capture material. The method works with polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the ubiquitous clear ...

PET plastic is one of the most widely used plastics worldwide, commonly used in beverage bottles, textiles, and numerous other products. It is strong and transparent, but once discarded, it becomes an ...
