Floral foam adds to microplastic pollution problem: study

A tiny new chip could give cameras and sensing systems a far sharper view of the world, helping them detect subtle differences in materials and environments that standard colour imaging systems cannot see.

Eucalyptus bark, usually stripped from logs and treated as waste, could be repurposed to help clean polluted water, filter dirty air and capture carbon dioxide, according to new research from RMIT University.

Beneath shallow coastal waters from Western Australia’s southern coastline to the tropical lagoons of the Great Barrier Reef vast underwater meadows stretch quietly across the seafloor.

A major new international study warns that critical scientific and practical gaps are slowing the use of blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) in global efforts to tackle climate change.
