Since 2011, enormous seaweed blooms have spread across the Atlantic Ocean, spanning over 5,000 miles from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico.
Known as the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, the leviathan — visible from space — has wreaked havoc on environments and economies throughout the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, where unprecedented…
Since its implementation in 2017, China’s clean heating policy has considerably improved air quality. However, the share of non-fossil sources in China’s urban district heating systems remains low. According to a Princeton-led study (Link is external),…
Researchers at Princeton and UCLA have developed a passive mechanism to cool buildings in the summer and warm them in the winter.
In an article published June 27 in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, they report that by…
Achieving a sustained fusion reaction is a delicate balancing act, requiring a sea of moving parts to come together to maintain a high-performing plasma: one that is dense enough, hot enough, and confined for long enough for fusion to take place.
