CHATHAM172/SWNS TALKER Stars in the night sky are vanishing due to light pollution, according to new research. It is rapidly getting brighter – eroding star visibility, say scientists.
By Rebecca Bird LONDON — A new partnership may see more than half a billion US dollars (£400 million) invested in 10 recycling facilities across the United Kingdom over the coming years in a bid to tackle the plastic waste crisis. Renewable and alternative energy company Clean Planet Energy announced a joint venture with Luxembourg-based private
By Abigail Klein Leichman One of the greatest threats to the environment and climate is plastic waste. Melodea, an Israeli company, confronts that issue by producing a cellulose nanocrystal coating sourced from wood pulp, a side stream of the paper-making industry. The plastic-free, plant-based package coating will be available from Melodea within six months —
By Gwyn Wright A new type of battery in development could make the battery in your television remote last even longer. Scientists have found a way of stabilizing the lithium metal electrode and electrolyte in metal batteries, which could mean energy can be packed far more densely into one. The findings were published in the
By Abigail Klein Leichman It was a miracle that nobody was hurt when a large sinkhole suddenly opened on the busy Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv. Nor was anyone hurt when three cars fell into a cavernous sinkhole that suddenly appeared in a parking lot at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center last year. But just

By Simona Kitanovska An eco-friendly device that could one day replace air conditioning has been created by scientists. Existing air conditioning is a huge driver of global warming because the refrigerants it uses are thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide and cause huge amounts of damage when they accidentally leak. The new device
By Simona Kitanovska New miniaturized, floating artificial leaves that can turn sunlight and water into clean fuel could one day be used to power cargo ships. The ultra-thin, flexible devices mimic photosynthesis – the process by which plants turn sunlight into food – and produce syngas, which is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
