It was too early to tell if the strawberries, raspberries, grapes and honeyberries fared better with some shade, as they typically don’t produce a full crop in their first year. But the fruit plants under the panels appeared to establish well, Nair said.
Nylon’s dirty little secret? It sticks around. From fishing nets to yoga pants, nylon takes decades to degrade—especially in oceans—choking marine life and clogging ecosystems. But a Korean research team has just pulled off a sustainability moonshot: a new polyester-amide (PEA) plastic that acts like nylon, but disappears like magic—breaking down 92% in real ocean water within a year.
The deployment of a nuclear power plant on the Moon raises questions about the legal frameworks governing space activities. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty, signed by over 100 countries including China, Russia, and the United States, stipulates that celestial bodies are not subject to national appropriation and must be used exclusively for peaceful purposes.
“We are building an advanced elastocaloric device that can replace today's harmful cooling systems and have a measurable impact on climate goals,” Tušek says.

Brevel has pioneered a unique method of cultivating microalgae by combining light with sugar-based fermentation in indoor bioreactors. Traditional fermentation, typically conducted in the dark, produces microalgae efficiently but lacks key nutrients that depend on light exposure. By integrating light into the fermentation process, Brevel enhances the nutritional profile, functionality, and overall commercial viability of microalgae-based proteins.
Perhaps the area that suffers from generated content the most is education. The students tend to look for simpler solutions when writing different types of work. In turn, teachers need tools that would help them calculate the generated content of coursework and diploma papers.
🍺 BEER: Spirulina, a blue-green algae superfood packed with protein, copper, and B vitamins, is growing in popularity among international brewers. RedDot Brewhouse, located next to the Singapore Botanical Gardens, offers a spirulina-infused lager.
MIT aerospace engineers have discovered that rising greenhouse gas emissions are altering the near-Earth space environment in ways that will gradually reduce the number of satellites that can safely operate in this region.
Danish biotech Fuse Vectors is announcing a funding round as it re-imagines the engine of work to deliver gene therapy (the technique that modifies a person's genes to treat or cure disease). Its tech replaces 1980s cell-based methods with revolutionary cell-free technology, making gene therapy more accessible and faster.
Many chemical processes in manufacturing and research rely on organic solvents, which are harmful to the environment and expensive to handle safely. The development of photoactive water-based micelles capable of driving chemical reactions offers a safer, greener alternative. Additionally, the system can be reused, improving its cost-effectiveness and environmental footprint.
These results emphasize the need to develop innovative agricultural solutions that will help reduce emissions and strengthen national food security.Â
The global push for environmentally sustainable materials positions CornNext-17 to capitalize on increasing regulatory support and consumer demand for green products. Its adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendly properties provide a competitive edge in addressing the growing plastic pollution crisis.
Me-qr is a valuable resource for educators looking to integrate QR codes into their teaching strategies. With their intuitive platform, teachers can create qr code free for a variety of applications, from sharing lesson plans to linking interactive exercises.
Space tech is moving forward, and modern advances in CubeSat components make it possible to implement this originally modest tech in major space missions. Discover why CubeSats components are growing ever more important in space exploration.
