By searching ancient texts and ruins, scientists found a concrete recipe that could make buildings stronger — and help address climate change.
This interplay between plastics and metals could affect how each affects the environment — and suggests opportunities for controlling their risks.
Keeping buildings cool can use a lot of energy. Thanks to quantum computing, engineers designed a coating to cut the warming light that enters windows.
Instead of throwing unneeded things away, scientists recommend moving to a cycle of reducing, reusing, repairing and remaking old things into new ones.
Hungry bats are more likely to shed harmful viruses to people or livestock when they spread out to hunt food. Conserving forests may limit this risk.
Learn how you can limit the climate-warming gases associated with what you eat, the products you buy and the energy you use.
Nations are charting how they might ‘zero’ out their releases of climate-warming gases. Success might greatly lower the risks of climate catastrophes.
Sewage sludge. Cow dung. They’re not just waste — scientists are finding uses for processed poop in construction materials.
Switching over to clean, renewable power — and away from fossil fuels — could save trillions of dollars by 2050, a new study finds.
