This fascinating off-grid lamp is powered by photosynthesis
Dutch designer Ermi van Oers has created an off-grid lamp that uses a living plant to produce light. The device, dubbed “Living Light,” uses microorganisms of plant origin to convert the chemical energy that a plant naturally produces during photosynthesis into an electric current. The lamp is fully self-sufficient, meaning it doesn’t have to be plugged […]

Double whammy: Traditional agriculture’s crop diversity depends on the pollinators it is killing, threatening the food supply
A group of multinational researchers has assessed the connection between trends in crop diversity and agricultural reliance on pollinators and found that the increasing reliance on pollinators, combined with an absence of crop diversity, may threaten agricultural stability. Worldwide agribusiness has expanded at a rapid pace in recent decades, especially in regions that once supported tropical and […]

These green initiatives employ projects such as planting more trees along streets and city parks, among others. However, a recent study published in PLOS ONE revealed that urban trees are different from trees growing in rural […]

Conservationists aim to preserve – and potentially save – different species and ecosystems around the world. This is especially vital for rare species, but scientists have found that research on how rare species impact ecosystems are sorely lacking. A recent study from the U.S. and Australia highlighted the need to identify how these rare species contribute to […]

Scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recently conducted a fly-over across the state of California to determine the biggest sources of methane emissions. And as it turns out, trash is responsible for generating a full one-third of the type of atmospheric pollution that leftists claim is causing global warming. Utilizing a specialized […]
