In 2022, global production of construction materials accounted for more than 7 percent of total carbon emissions. But how many of those materials were truly necessary to build houses, buildings, and bridges? A technique called topology optimization can design structures that reduce the amount of material used, in some casesContinue Reading

A global shift toward healthier diets could sharply reduce livestock farming, free up agricultural land, and cut emissions from land-use change by 85% by 2050. At the same time, fruit, vegetable, nut, and legume production could soar, creating a sweeping transformation of what the world grows and eats., Read MoreContinue Reading

For the past 50 years, Americans have been told that natural gas was the clean fossil fuel, a climate-friendly choice for heating homes and cooking meals.

Fire TV customers can easily access this content by asking Alexa+ on compatible devices. Future programming on Fire TV may includeContinue Reading

When an animal’s environment changes faster than the animal can adapt, its chances of survival can flat-line. The same is true for populations, and even entire species.  Now, scientists at MIT and the University of Leicester have found that this connection between evolutionary adaptation and the pace of environmental changeContinue Reading
