Using traffic cameras and phone data, researchers created a real-time emissions map—giving cities a powerful new tool to cut pollution faster and smarter.

Wires and textiles made of carbon nanotube fibers could amp up the conversion of clean electricity to high-temperature heat, cutting the carbon footprint of manufacturing.

Replacing the turbines on existing wind farms with newer, more powerful and efficient models could double the amount of electricity produced by onshore wind energy in the United States – without increasing its footprint.

I hate heds like that, but in trying to rework it, I realized anything short enough to fit the space (figuratively) would not adequately convey the story.

When projected outcomes are described as “unlikely” or using similar negative terms, people think the projection is backed by less scientific evidence than when those same outcomes are framed in positive terms. They also think there’s less scientific consensus around negatively framed projections than equivalent positively framed ones.

An AI analysis shows that climate deniers increasingly use charts, data visuals, and academic design to appear trustworthy. Researchers warn that fact-checking alone can’t counter the power of these deceptive aesthetics.

A cup of tea can recharge you after a long, tiring day. Tea might also be just what spent batteries need to rejuvenate. In a new study, researchers have used natural compounds that they extract from tea leaves to regenerate lithium-ion battery electrode materials.

Globally, human excreta are a huge untapped source of nutrients. Now, a new perspective paper makes the case that biochar could help to unlock it.
