Rice University researchers have developed an innovative solution to a pressing environmental challenge: removing and destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly called “forever chemicals.”

Don’t breathe in the dust on Mars.

From chronic respiratory problems to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and dementia, health damage caused by particulate matter air pollution is wide-ranging and serious.

Distinguishing between rain and snow in near-freezing temperatures is a challenge, even with advanced methods.

Marine life in the deep ocean can take decades to recover from the impact of deep-sea mining for rare metals, new research shows.

In a new paper, researchers at North Carolina State University show proof of concept for a system that, in a single cycle, actively removes microplastics from water.

Every year, millions of tires end up in landfills, creating an environmental crisis with far-reaching consequences. 

Plastic is everywhere. And many products we use in everyday life, such as cutting boards, clothes and cleaning sponges, can expose people to tiny, micrometer-wide plastic particles called microplastics. 

The amount of carbon released by seabed fishing worldwide is uncertain and must be urgently investigated, researchers say.

Researchers have developed a novel combination of materials that have organic and inorganic properties, with the goal of using them in technologies that convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into a liquid fuel.
