Seven emerging technologies that could help to mitigate the most devastating effects of climate change.
Results for "pollution"
Scientists develop eco-friendly pollen sponge to tackle water contaminants
This pollen sponge can absorb oil contaminants, such as gasoline and motor oil, at a rate comparable to commercial oil absorbents
Climate change and the city
With increasing rates of urbanization and its detrimental effects on the environment, reducing the risk posed by “urban climate change” requires more research to prepare ourselves for an uncertain future.
Biodegradable masks could help curb the rise in plastic waste
Moisture-resistant mask filters made from compostable and abundant materials could help curb plastic pollution as a result of the pandemic.
Conducting the climate change orchestra
It is my hope that with the collaborative efforts of a unified world, the dark tones of the fossil fuel reliance and heavy pollution will fade to become a distant echo of our past.
Challenges in establishing eco-cities within urban agglomeration
Urbanization is threatening global water supplies, but finding a way to balance expansion with sustainable water management between nature, people, and the city water infrastructure.
An affordable, quantum‐limit‐approaching sensing chip for trace chemical analysis
Study shows improvements to chemical sensing chip that aims to quickly and accurately identify drugs and other trace chemicals.
War on plastic is distracting from more urgent threats to environment, experts warn
While plastic waste is an issue, its prominence in the general public’s concern for the environment is overshadowing greater threats.
An eco-friendly smart coating to keep buildings cool without air conditioners
Researchers have developed an innovative method to make advanced coating materials for “smart” sub-ambient radiative cooling in large-scale building applications.
Could restoring peatlands be key to saving the planet?
Peatlands are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth but when damaged are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
