Environment
Environmental Engineering is the application of engineering principles to improve and maintain the environment for the protection of human health and at-risk ecosystems.
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have found a way to use seawater to create a new kind of cement that can help fight climate change. This new cement is made by using electricity to turn seawater into a material that absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.
Green walls are walls of a building that have plants on them. They have many benefits such as improving the mental health of those around the green wall, reducing the temperature of the city, and obviously helping the climate.
Global warming isn't just impacting our planet—it's starting to affect what's orbiting it. As climate change accelerates, the increase in space debris and changes in satellite orbits could lead to traffic jams in space, creating new risks for collisions. What does this mean for the future of space exploration and technology? Find out how our warming world is creating a new kind of congestion, high above the Earth."
Scientists have unraveled the mysteries of photosynthesis, a process plants use to convert sunlight into energy. This breakthrough could pave the way for innovative clean energy solutions inspired by nature.
China's UBTech has introduced a $41,000 humanoid robot designed to navigate challenging terrains like sand, snow, and stairs at a speed of 6 MPH. This debut marks a significant step in the competitive race to develop affordable, versatile machines for widespread use.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, from the different species of animals and micro-organisms, to the great expanses of woodlands and wetlands. Biodiversity is vitally important to the health of the Earth, as well as the regulation of our climate, and the loss that we are experiencing of our biodiversity could be the broken cog in the machine that brings our planet down.
A new study has uncovered an intriguing page in the history of the Earth's longest-lived animals, the iguanas. 34 million years ago, the ancient reptiles embarked on what is now the longest oceanic journey ever undertaken by a land animal, covering an incredible 5,000 miles of open ocean.
The robot that looks like a worm. The Worm Robot can help by go into areas that are hard for people to reach during wildfires.
Transparent solar panels represent a revolutionary way of powering homes, which are embedded in windows and generate electricity from the sun. By entering mainstream use in Europe and doubling the potential energy generation, solar windows are transforming how we consider clean energy.
Prehistoric mammals used dark fur to survive the age of dinosaurs. These mammals blended into the shadows to avoid being eaten by dinosaurs at night using their monochrome coats as camouflage.
A groundbreaking discovery by the University of Texas at Austin has revealed $8.4 billion worth of rare earth elements hidden in U.S. coal ash, offering a potential solution to reduce reliance on imports. This untapped resource could transform America's approach to securing critical minerals, turning industrial waste into a valuable asset.!
“It’s very, very early stages, but so far it’s feeling very positive.” said Professor Suzannah Williams from Oxford University. This new discovery could help save so many endangered species by using the DNA for reproduction.
