A groundbreaking chemical processing technique converts fabrics into reusable molecules, turning discarded garments into sustainable fashion opportunities.

Oxygen depletion in Earth’s freshwater and marine ecosystems is approaching alarming levels, threatening global stability. Scientists call for its recognition as a planetary boundary to spur urgent research and policy action.

A new study strengthens the hypothesis that the El Niño phenomenon contributed to the great Permian-Triassic extinction, 250 million years ago.

Recent research suggests that the Eastern Mediterranean region is likely to experience fewer rainy days in the future, accompanied by more intense rainfall during each event. What fundamental scientific principles help explain these projected changes?

A new study focusing on ice melt in Antarctica and its effects, reveals that the impact of continental uplift on sea levels is influenced by the rate of glacier melting.

Natural metal nodules release oxygen in the dark depths of the ocean, challenging the long-held belief that oxygen production is impossible without photosynthesis.

To effectively confront the climate crisis, humanity must collectively recognize our responsibility for the environmental damage caused and our moral obligation to address our mistakes with determination and fairness

The Green Lungs at risk: how small actions can lead to the collapse of rainforests

It lurks in the corners of our homes, in the sewage system, and sometimes even in our food. A new study examines how the common pest, the German cockroach, has spread across the world.

Three main factors have contributed to the breaking of heat records again this year: human activity, the configuration of the continents, and the El Niño phenomenon. Of these, only the first is within our control.

Could the epidemic decimating bat populations in North America be linked to the rise in infant mortality rates? A recent study suggests a potential link, pointing to increased insecticide use as a contributing factor.

Could a global nuclear war lead to human extinction? Probably not.

Research indicates that a vegetarian and vegan diet are less harmful to the environment than animal-based diets.

Tiny plastic particles in the blood vessels of atherosclerosis patients increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, or death

A new study found that the average daily temperature in the Everest region remains unchanged, yet its glaciers are melting – due to the wind.

Could burying trees in the ocean reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and help combat global warming?

The fight against global warming aims to cap the temperature increase at two degrees Celsius. But where did this target come from?

The climate crisis continues to break records in winter, historical agreements to save animal migrations, and humanity willing to pay to mitigate the climate crisis.

NASA budget cuts, a new name for a half-moon, a space residency record, and a new environmental satellite.

Humans are responsible for the extinction of 12% of bird species worldwide, and the situation of nature is far from promising.

Plastic has become ubiquitous around the world, turning into a major problem that we are just beginning to grasp.

A new study has shown that sunlight radiation alters the chemical properties of polyethylene, a component of many plastics

How did we manage to curb ozone depletion within just a few decades and what can this teach us?

How unusual is the heat of the current summer and is it related to the climate crisis?
