Researchers in Denmark have found a way to recover toxic arsenic from groundwater and repurpose it into a valuable material ...

New research finds that wolves are afraid of the super predator in the woods (humans)—and that protecting them doesn't make ...

The first quantitative global analysis of renewable energy development by fossil giants reveals an enormous gap between rhetoric and reality.

Using wood-derived materials, researchers showcase the potential of making eco-friendly yet high-functioning electronics ...

Sewage is not something most people want to give a second thought to, but it contains a trove of valuable nutrients. One of those is ammonia, a key ingredient of fertilizer. Now, researchers report a ...

Green roofs can capture nearly all the microplastic particles that contaminate rainwater in modern cities, according to a new study. The findings add to the list of benefits of green roofs, which have ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. Ultra-bright white paints are the go-to when it comes to cooling buildings. Those paints work by reflecting as much of the sun as they can. An international ...
