Engineers have used a powerful electrochemical process to destroy water contaminants. It could help clean up heavily polluted wastewater from wineries, pharmaceutical companies and other industries. A team of engineers may be one step...
Researchers in Wales have developed a new environmentally friendly method for removing toxic chemicals from water. A new solvent-free machine – the Matrix Assembly Cluster Source (MACS) – is key to the process. A...
India-based Rhino Machines has developed a sustainable construction brick made entirely from foundry dust and plastic waste. Its ‘silica plastic blocks’ or SPBs can help meet the growing global need for urban using recycled...
A new alarm system powered by the movement of trees in the wind could help detect and fight forest fires. Quick response to forest fires can significantly reduce the damage and loss of property...
Large resources are required to provide vessels in the polar seas with warnings about the spread of sea ice. Artificial intelligence on a regular laptop may make these warnings cheaper, faster, and available for...
Global design firm NBBJ has won an international competition to design Net City, a city of the future in Shenzhen, China. The city is designed to be sustainable and human-centric, with an extensive public transport...
A Swiss company is on its way to becoming the first company in the world to use a procedure to change mixed plastic waste into paraffin oil in a CO2-neutral way. This can also...
A new record has been set for carbon dioxide capture and storage. The technology used makes it possible to store, separate, release or protect valuable commodities, enabling companies to develop high value products. Using...
The Czech Republic is welcoming its first 3D printed house. The structure floats, is three times stronger than traditional concrete and helps significantly cut construction waste. The first 3D printed house in the...
Researchers have developed a highly porous sponge that selectively soaks up oil and resists water. It could be used to inexpensively and efficiently clean up oil spills without harming marine life. A Northwestern University-led...
A passive house designed by students in South Dakota is pioneering 21st-century energy efficiency standards. Passive House 01 is not only 90-per-cent more energy efficient than a similar house, but it is also the...
Following the coronavirus lockdowns across the world, global architects are rethinking the shape of cities to promote shorter commute times, local lifestyles and social distancing green spaces. Concepts include maze-like parks and micromarkets. Architects...
Artificial intelligence is helping researchers upcycle waste carbon. A collaboration between University of Toronto Engineering and Carnegie Mellon University has produced a record-setting catalyst for CO2-to-ethylene conversion. Researchers at University of Toronto Engineering and...
Five billion people are projected to live in cities by 2030, according to the United Nations. Designs for a self-sustainable vertical city with net-zero energy are offering a response to the growing challenge of...
UK researchers have developed a cheap and simple way of creating biofuel and fertiliser from seaweed, whilst removing plastic from the oceans and cleaning up tourist beaches in the Caribbean and Central America. Millions...
A rammed earth hospital is bringing affordable healthcare to Nepal. The structure is built primarily from locally sourced materials and is powered by rooftop solar panels. The new Bayalpata Hospital in Accham, Nepal is...
Scientists are unraveling the properties of electricity-conducting plastics so they can be used in future energy-harvesting devices. The insight could help accelerate the development of wearable power sources for a vast number of Internet-of-things...
Following the third mass bleaching event of the Great Barrier Reef in five years, scientists have trialled a world-first ‘cloud-brightening’ technique to protect valuable reef systems from further such events. A research team led...
The first solar pavement for use on a residential driveway has been installed in Hungary. The system is made from recycled PET plastic bottles. The first solar pavement for use on a residential driveway...
