New study finds microplastics in the stomachs of 73 percent of mesopelagic fish caught in the Northwest Atlantic — one of the highest levels globally. A new study sheds light on the magnitu... Read more
Scientists are developing new motors that are tiny, soft and run on light, magnetic effects or chemical solutions. They can serve specific functions — including cleaning up pollution. This ... Read more
The Row-Bot powers itself by cleaning up bodies of water. This is the Row-Bot, a robot that walks on water, and gets its energy by eating the microbes in dirty ponds and “digesting... Read more
Scientists at The University of Manchester hope a major breakthrough could lead to more effective methods for detoxifying dangerous pollutants like PCBs and dioxins. The result is a culminat... Read more
One enterprising scientist thinks we’re close to creating a whole new, much greener mining industry. Nothing grows here at Walker Ridge. Oaks, pines, and wildflowers stop abruptly at t... Read more
Humanity is on the threshold of being able to detect signs of alien life on other worlds. By studying exoplanet atmospheres, we can look for gases like oxygen and methane that only coexist i... Read more

Overfishing and pollution have pushed life in the high seas to the brink of collapse, according to a new report from the Global Ocean Commission. “The oceans are a failed state,” David Milib... Read more
A new method for controlling fire could prevent air pollution from forming in the first place An emerging technology could offer a more efficient way of reducing air pollution from power pla... Read more
Tiny particles of waste plastic that are ingested by shoreline “eco-engineer” worms may be negatively affecting biodiversity, a study says. So-called microplastics may be able to... Read more
It may be the 21st century, but nearly half the world’s population still cooks and heats with open fires or primitive stoves that burn wood, animal dung, charcoal and other polluting solid f... Read more
Microplastics have become a big concern in the world’s oceans and estuaries. Water pollution remains a significant problem in bodies of water large and small worldwide; however, in addition... Read more
Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego have built a small fleet of portable pollution sensors that allow users to monitor air quality in real time on their smart phon... Read more
Scientists today described development of a new fuel mixture to ease the major air pollution and cost problems facing cruise ships, oil tankers and container ships. These vessels tend to bur... Read more
