China has announced the completion of a high-performance linear plasma generator, called SWORD (Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device), which represents a significant step in nuclear fusion energy research. The Hefei Institute of...

Big city living has some advantages, but also many disadvantages. Extreme pollution is among the disadvantages. Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, shrouded in a thick layer of smog in recent weeks, is at the top of the world's most polluted...

Air pollution caused by fires has become a major global problem, responsible for more than 1.5 million deaths per year, according to a study recently published in the prestigious journal The Lancet. This alarming statistic highlights the...

Plastic pollution has reached unprecedented levels. Four global policies could eliminate almost all plastic pollution on Earth, according to a study conducted with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) by researchers at the University of...

Drones can do good things too, they are not just weapons of war. Authorities in the Indian capital, New Delhi, have tested a prototype of a sprinkler drone to combat the most resistant points of air pollution. The metropolis of 30 million...

Hell, including that of pollution, is paved with good intentions. New Delhi was declared the world's most polluted city at the end of last week, following a new wave of pollution generated by the celebration of Diwali, one of the most...

Pollution can have its charm, that's what great artists claim, who managed to immortalize it in famous paintings. Claude Monet, one of the greatest masters of Impressionism, was captivated by London and its famous "fog", a combination...

Airplane traffic is once again disrupted by natural phenomena. Mount Etna has erupted, causing the closure of the airport in Catania, on the eastern coast of Sicily, the Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) reported, informs...

Confirmation of the weather records set this hot summer is coming from several directions. Last month was the hottest July on record and marked the 14th consecutive monthly temperature record, according to a US agency. 2024 currently has a 77%...
