Anthropogenic noise pollution (ANP), a globally invasive phenomenon, has an impact on natural systems; however, a majority of the studies have only been conducted on a few species at local levels.
Liquid metal catalysts can potentially absorb carbon and remove contaminants. These catalysts could even be produced in the kitchen since they require very little energy.
Recent data has confirmed that, for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, the UK is gaining more energy from zero-carbon sources than it is from fossil fuels.

A known fact is that climate change will eventually affect bridges. However, a lesser known fact is the extent to which bridges may be affected.
It's been nearly 10 years since Priyanka Bakaya MBA '11 founded Renewlogy to develop a system that converts plastic waste into fuel. Today, that system is being used to profitably turn even nonrecyclable plastic into high-value fuels like diesel, as well as the precursors to new plastics.
A new study by researchers from the University of Notre Dame has revealed that there is no use of believing that climate change does not have any impact on whether coastal homeowners protect their homes from risks related to climate change.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that is released into the atmosphere through natural processes as well as human activities, such as agriculture and energy production.
According to a study conducted by scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology and UL Chemical Safety, in recent years, consumer-grade 3D printers have gained immense popularity, but the particles emitted by such devices can negatively influence the quality of indoor air and may also affect respiratory health.
The MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub, an interdisciplinary team of researchers dedicated to concrete and infrastructure science, engineering, and economics, has renewed its relationship with its industry partners for another five years.
