Scientists have engineered a living, carbon-capturing material that can be shaped by 3D printing and hardened over time ...

Methods that tweak genes without transferring new material into crops sit in regulatory limbo in the EU. Could legalizing ...

When offered a 1-in-10,000 chance of winning $1,000 instead of a guaranteed 10 cent refund, people recycled 47% more bottles...at no extra cost to local governments.

New research finds that centuries-old oaks can dynamically rewire how they absorb nutrients—suggesting forests may be more resilient allies in the climate fight than once believed.

The paint replenishes its water supply by absorbing rain and water vapor. Its porous structure holds the water and then slowly releases it much like sweat.

Green roofs can capture nearly all the microplastic particles that contaminate rainwater in modern cities, according to a new study. The findings add to the list of benefits of green roofs, which have ...

A study found that solar panels boost grassland productivity—with potential benefits for grazers, and for biodiversity—by up to 90%.

Scientists have engineered a living, carbon-capturing material that can be shaped by 3D printing and hardened over time through biological growth.

A new study finds that each tonne of food waste recycled, with existing technologies, would reduce carbon emissions by roughly a corresponding tonne.

One-third of all food produced for humans annually is lost to waste. The decomposing matter produces half of all the emissions generated by the global agrifood system. What if, instead of focusing ...
