By coaxing soil bacteria into fixing more nitrogen, gene-edited wheat shows how crops might one day sidestep synthetic ...

Taking inspiration from anchovies and herrings, researchers have made a new filter that could keep microplastics from entering waterways and oceans. The filter, with a design based on the gill systems ...

In a rare scientific analysis of pending energy legislation, researchers put two competing policy approaches to the test.

By stripping two metabolic enzymes, scientists created a mycoprotein that needs less energy, emits less carbon, and rivals ...

New analysis shows that charred coffee grounds make increase concrete's strength by 30% and shrink its carbon footprint by ...

Decades of monitoring failed to detect it, but the Covid lockdown showed that human activity—not just predators or habitat—has been quietly stifling Bonelli’s eagle reproduction.

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. 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 ...

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. Carbon emissions from clothes laundering are at an all-time high, and between 16 and 35 percent of microplastics generated worldwide come from laundry. Over ...
