New research shows how deeply entrenched “us” and “them” attitudes make it much harder to make a fair energy transition.
Governments can staunch the current economic collapse without returning to the status quo.
Researchers are turning microbes into microscopic construction crews by altering their DNA to make them produce building materials. The work could lead to more sustainable buildings.
Water is essential for health, economic well-being and social equity, but too many people around the world still don’t have access to clean drinking water and sanitation.
Half-a-dozen strategies are effective for cooling urban areas. Used in combination, these strategies can drop the temperature even more.
