Scientists discovered that plasma bubbles strip contaminants from industrial wastewater while locking in nitrogen. Garlic that grew in it nearly doubled in size.

While refrigerants in air conditioners and heat pumps are keeping people healthy amid global warming, some experts fear a secret climate impact

Decades of agricultural stress appear to have forged unusually heat-resistant microbial communities. Researchers think cropland soils could be transplanted to restore fragile ecosystems.

Updated federal dietary guidelines finally take on ultra-processed junk food—but the push for more animal protein quietly erases every environmental gain, and then some.

A newly-developed method applies ultrasonic sound waves to turn room temperature water and coffee grounds into a quality espresso shot. Taste-testers couldn’t tell it apart from a conventional brew.
