A new generation of water filtration technology is showing strong results against PFAS—widely known as “forever chemicals” because they persist in the environment and the human body for years. Recent lab studies on advanced adsorbent and membrane-based systems found they can remove up to around 98% of key PFAS compounds under test conditions, including heavily […]

In one of the world’s most ambitious ecological restoration projects, China has been steadily transforming the edges of the Taklamakan Desert—the largest shifting sand desert in Asia—into a managed green buffer zone. Since the late 1970s, large-scale afforestation and sand-control programs have reportedly led to the planting of tens of billions of trees and shrubs

In a surprising twist, researchers studying microplastic pollution have found that part of what they were measuring wasn’t environmental contamination at all—but particles coming from their own lab equipment. The issue came to light when teams analyzing samples under microscopes detected polymer types commonly used in disposable laboratory gloves. Many labs rely on gloves made

A group of more than 65 leading scientists across the United Kingdom are warning that plans to approve new oil and gas projects in the North Sea could seriously derail climate progress. In a joint statement, they argue that opening new fossil fuel fields goes directly against the science of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Deep beneath the forests of Finland, engineers are preparing to activate a facility that sits inside one of the most geologically stable places on Earth—a bedrock formation near Olkiluoto estimated to be around 1.9 billion years old. The project, known as Onkalo, is the world’s first full-scale permanent deep geological repository for high-level nuclear waste.

In Sanand, Gujarat, Agratas is building more than just a factory—it’s laying the groundwork for a low-carbon future. The site spans roughly 300+ acres and is being developed in phases, with the first phase delivering 20 GWh of annual battery production—enough to power hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles each year. Construction has already crossed

Japan has brought online Asia’s first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, showcasing a new way to generate clean electricity using the natural interaction between freshwater and seawater. The system works by letting the two types of water mix through a special membrane, creating pressure that spins turbines and produces power. Because this process doesn’t depend

Leading climate scientists across the UK are cautioning the government against approving new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea, arguing that it clashes directly with global efforts to limit warming. They say expanding fossil fuel production at this stage sends the wrong signal internationally, especially as countries are being urged to rapidly cut

A recent study from the University of North Carolina reveals that oyster reefs contribute much more to the environment than scientists previously realised. Beyond simply filtering water, oysters help remove harmful nitrogen by trapping it in ocean sediments, which improves water quality and reduces pollution levels. When this hidden benefit is included, the overall economic

A potential blockade or disruption in the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes—has raised alarms over a looming global food security crisis. Nearly 20% of the world’s traded oil and a significant share of fertiliser exports, particularly nitrogen, ammonia, and urea from Gulf nations, pass through this narrow corridor daily. Countries
