Extreme temperatures make people less likely to pursue outdoor activities they would otherwise make part of their daily routine, a new study led by MIT researchers has confirmed.
Plastics pose one of the largest environmental problems of the present day, and developing new methods to recycle or reuse this ubiquitous material is considered imperative to preserve both the natural world and the heal...

Clowd Foundry LLC, an innovative design firm, has announced its patent-pending technology for squeezable glass and hybrid bottles.
Continuous ocean temperature records, rising stratification, and shifting patterns of water salinity provide a glimpse into what the future may hold in a climate that is constantly warming.
On Jan. 9, a United Nations-backed panel of experts announced that Earth's protective ozone layer is on track to recover within four decades, closing an ozone hole over the Antarctic that was first noticed in the 1980s.
Cornell College William Harmon Norton Professor of Geology Rhawn Denniston and a team of collaborators have combined stalagmites and climate model simulations to reveal links between monsoon rains and tropical cyclones (called hurricanes in the U.S.) in Australia.
About a quarter of the world's electricity currently comes from power plants fired by natural gas.
Drivers in Washington, California, and New York are set to see the greatest reductions in transport costs and greenhouse gas emissions due to a combination of cleaner power grids and low electricity prices in comparison to gasoline prices, among other factors.
A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has invented a groundbreaking new catalyst technology that converts renewable materials like trees and corn to the key chemicals, acrylic acid, and acrylates used in paints, coatings, and superabsorbent polymers.
According to new research from Pennsylvania State University, what occurs above the water’s surface is just as crucial to maintaining the world’s coral reefs as what occurs below it.
Climate change has caused the Arctic to warm nearly four times more quickly than the rest of the planet since 1979.
Hystar AS, the Norwegian high-tech hydrogen company, today announces a Series B funding round of USD 26mn to rapidly scale-up to full commercial operations with an automated GW-capacity production line by 2025. The injection of capital, raised through equity, will also be used to fuel Oslo-headquartered Hystar’s growth, expansion into new markets, and ability to deliver on larger (100 MW and beyond) projects.
Recent research conducted by the University of Stirling, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, discovered that climate is the major factor in determining how rapidly dead plants decompose, allowing researchers to make more precise estimations about carbon emissions and climate change globally.
Since the 1950s, weather extremes have been more frequent and intense, and international hydrology specialists are utilizing new technology to map land areas that will be vulnerable to hotter, arid conditions as a result of climate change.
A researcher at the University of Central Florida has created technology that could avoid electric vehicle fires, such as those caused by Hurricane Ian’s seawater floods.
