A nighttime view of trees at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, show that the tree on the left, located in an unlit area, lost most of its leaves in the fall of 2025. The tree on the right, exposed to artificial light at night from a streetlight, stays green laterContinue Reading

America has been making steel from iron ore the same way for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been making enough of it. Today the U.S. is the world’s largest steel importer, relying on other countries to produce a material that serves as the backbone of our society. That’s notContinue Reading

One of the best forms of heat relief is pretty simple: trees. In cities, as studies have documented, more tree cover lowers surface temperatures and heat-related health risks. However, as a new study led by MIT researchers shows, the amount of tree cover varies widely within cities, and is generallyContinue Reading
