Researchers calculated how much carbon is locked up in city buildings—and then started thinking about how to keep it there| Anthropocene
A new analysis of 3,500 US cities reveals that the carbon “hoofprint” of meat can vary more than threefold depending on where it’s produced—and where it’s eaten.| Anthropocene
Engineers have made a nanofiber filter that fits in building ventilation systems and soaks up CO2 at lower cost than massive direct-air capture plants.| Anthropocene
New self-charging lights co-designed by scientists and fishers slash turtle entanglements and could become a model for sustainable tech at sea.| Anthropocene
The answer lies in strategic charging to encourage solar and wind power development| Anthropocene
Companies used to be accused of faking sustainability via greenwashing. Now some are hiding actual climate progress.| Anthropocene
Short answer: Not yet. Scientists modeled renewable-powered “plant factories” and found they could meet China’s entire vegetable demand while freeing farmland. But the carbon cost of building the systems is still too high.| Anthropocene
Researchers in Denmark have found a way to recover toxic arsenic from groundwater and repurpose it into a valuable material for solar cells, closing the loop on a global pollution problem.| Anthropocene
New research finds that wolves are afraid of the super predator in the woods (humans)—and that protecting them doesn't make them less fearful of us.| Anthropocene
The world's top writers, designers, scientists, and entrepreneurs explore how we can create a sustainable Human Age we actually want to live in.| Anthropocene
A little over 1.5 cups of a yellow powder made of tiny porous polymer particles can capture as much carbon dioxide in a year as a mature tree.| Anthropocene
Compared to today’s sorbents, the new super-porous material could absorb carbon dioxide from smokestacks at much lower cost and energy| Anthropocene
