Methods that tweak genes without transferring new material into crops sit in regulatory limbo in the EU. Could legalizing ...

Scientists have engineered a living, carbon-capturing material that can be shaped by 3D printing and hardened over time ...

New research finds that centuries-old oaks can dynamically rewire how they absorb nutrients—suggesting forests may be more resilient allies in the climate fight than once believed.

A new study finds broad agreement that the wealthy should shrink their carbon footprints—but most people, especially the rich, underestimate their own impact—a discrepancy researchers call the carbon ...

New research finds that the global decline of scavengers like hyenas and vultures is putting ecosystems—and human health—at risk.

When offered a 1-in-10,000 chance of winning $1,000 instead of a guaranteed 10 cent refund, people recycled 47% more bottles...at no extra cost to local governments.

A new paper offers a roadmap for integrating crop resilience and carbon mitigation into national and global climate ...

A study found that solar panels boost grassland productivity—with potential benefits for grazers, and for biodiversity—by up to 90%.

The paint replenishes its water supply by absorbing rain and water vapor. Its porous structure holds the water and then slowly releases it much like sweat.

Older companies are more environmentally sustainable than younger ones, according to a new analysis. The findings upend popular assumptions of old organizations as hidebound and incapable of change, ...

New technology cuts chemical and energy use of removing salt from seawater. It could save millions of dollars, making desalination far more accessible.

Researchers have employed an unlikely organism—fungi—to make a new type of biodegradable battery. The new 3D-printed fungal battery produces enough electricity for small sensors and it can tossed into ...
