A new comprehensive study of “decoupling” finds that for 30% of the regions studied, the answer is yes. But the remaining regions are lagging behind.

They converted old tires into a material that not only purifies water using solar energy—but also generates a small amount of electricity.

In the big picture—across a 20-year data set—more renewables actually appear to make electric grids more resilient.

And that’s a problem, say researchers who suggest that more accurate depictions of climate change could help drive changes in public sentiment.

If specific long-haul aviation routes commit to using 100% sustainable aviation fuels, it would reduce risks for producers and spur them scale up production, researchers say.

Researchers pinpoint an unexpected threat to climate action: ambiguous carbon accounting

By Sarah DeWeerdt, Anthropocene When they analyzed renewable energy supply and power demand at an ultra fine scale, the team discovered tremendous new opportunities for a low-cost, reliable green grid.

A new assessment offers a fairer approach to sustainable mobility for people who can’t afford zero-emission vehicles: Old cars can still be environmentally friendly if driven in the right way.

These complex combinations of organoids afford a closer look at how gene alterations affect certain brain networks.

In the first comprehensive global study of the effect of trees on urban temperature, researchers discovered that in hot, compact cities, narrow species and sparse planting strategies work best
