Food insecurity is in a bad state across the globe. Add to that wars, political unrests, and – glaring-us-in-the-face – climate change, and this problem exacerbates, tipping the scale in favor of hunger and starvation for one-third of the population. Agriculture and food production have
Droughts are no happy occasion as they grip the masses by their throats and suck the water resources dry. However, this year’s droughts have been revealing shards of history that were submerged in the water including World War II relics in Europe, an entire village
A research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) believes to have found a solution to mitigate the worse climate change. Or, at least, it could ease some global warming issues. They have created film-like silicon bubbles that scientists refer to as “space bubbles.”
Researchers from the Botanical Survey of India in Dehradun and Himachal Pradesh University in Shimla on Thursday said they have rediscovered a rare, threatened, and presumed extinct plant species, Brachystelma attenuatum, after a long gap of 188 years. In Himachal Pradesh, researchers have successfully rediscovered
Solar panels work best with direct sunlight. However, researchers at Stanford University have come up with an advanced solution dubbed AGILE (Axially Graded Index Lens). It is basically a micropyramid lens that is claimed to triple the light hitting capacity in a solar panel as
A team of researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered over 900 never-seen-before microbes species in ice and snow samples gathered from Tibetan Plateau. The research paper published in Nature Biotechnology Journal states that the group of these new microbes has the potential
The world is making efforts to combat ocean pollution caused by microplastics and oil spillage. However, a new type of pollution is discovered by a team of researchers in the Canary Islands. In a new study, the researchers have termed this new ocean plastic pollution
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently come up with a new solar desalination system. What’s best about this drinking water system is that it provides potable water for just $4. The researchers claim that their new desalination system works efficiently and
Nature always proves that it’s beyond our understanding, while mankind continues to find its mysteries through scientific ways. A rediscovery of Galápagos species, the ‘fantastic giant tortoise,’ has left everyone amused. It is because this species was declared extinct a century ago. But biologists have
You know what baffles me the most is how humankind creates tonnes of problems for itself and then looks at other living things to help resolves those crises. Take plastic pollution for instance. The non-biodegradable material has infiltrated every inch of the planet, from the
