A team of scientists have created a porous material that keeps windows almost 100 percent transparent while blocking 10 times as much heat as regular glass windows.

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 ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. Situating solar panels on grasslands can boost grass growth by 20% on average—and as much as 90% in some areas—during dry periods. This new research from ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. Ultra-bright white paints are the go-to when it comes to cooling buildings. Those paints work by reflecting as much of the sun as they can. An international ...

If you like home runs, you’ll love climate change. As the temperature rises, air resistance goes down. Researchers at Dartmouth College have calculated that human-caused warming led to 58 extra home ...

In a new spin on green electronics, researchers have made a biodegradable electronic circuit board from tree leaves. Such leaf-based electronics, or “leaftronics” as the team from Dresden University ...

As hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires get more intense, it is increasingly clear that combating climate change will need every tool we have in our belt. One of those is capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. Replacing traditional plastics with those that degrade in the ocean would reduce harm to marine animals and the environment. And now, scientists at the Wood ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. Efforts are underway all around the world to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it. Trees, of course, are naturals at this. Over their ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. A team of researchers in the UK have come up with a solution to these two issues. In a paper published in the journal Nature Energy, they report a novel ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. Tylenol is an environmental headache. Acetaminophen—the active ingredient in the ubiquitous pain-relieving medicine—is typically made from chemicals derived ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. 2. Miles and packaging are minor carbon sources. It’s counter-intuitive, but buying a plastic bag of salad grown the next state over could be a lower-carbon ...
