Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE), working with 30 co-authors from seven countries, found that parks may be the most effective solution for reducing overall air pollution – cutting air pollution by 22% city-wide.

Scientists analyzed the liquid waste, or leachate, released by four Illinois landfills and the inflows and outflows of associated wastewater treatment plants to determine the fate of two contaminants: microplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

UBC is bringing its expertise in critical minerals to the Rio Tinto Centre for Future Materials, a $150 (US) million research endeavour to fundamentally change how we produce, use and recycle the minerals needed for modern technologies and the clean energy transition.

Holiday lights brighten the dark winter nights and lift spirits, but they can also disrupt our smallest neighbours— nocturnal animals and insects— who share these spaces.

Whether you’re manufacturing cement, steel, chemicals, or paper, you need a large amount of heat.

Despite declining reserves and significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions contributing to climate change, fossil fuels continue to be the most widely used energy source globally.

MIT is co-leading an effort to enable the development of two new large-scale renewable energy projects in regions with carbon-intensive electrical grids: Big Elm Solar in Bell County, Texas, came online this year, and the Bowman Wind Project in Bowman County, North Dakota, is expected to be operational in 2026.

Electric Vehicles will now be able to go from zero battery power to an 80 per cent charge thanks to Researchers at the University of Waterloo who made a breakthrough in lithium-ion battery design to enable this extremely fast charging.

From June 2023 to August 2024, the world saw 15 months in a row of record-breaking heat, a stretch so extreme that it confounded scientists. A new animation from NASA shows the severity of warming.

Researchers at Colorado State University have found a new approach for breaking down PFAS – a group of human-made “forever” chemicals commonly used for their water-resistant properties that can carry health risks from long-term exposure.
