Science and Technology is ever advancing. Today some European scientists launched a satellite called “Smos Spacecraft”, which will make flood prediction easier by tracking water flows around the Earth. The satellite will also provide better weather forecasts and estimate the impact of climate change including drought. The satellite was lifted into space from the Plesetsk [...]

Coral reefs are some of the most battered life forms due to global warming. Coral bleaching and collapse of entire reef ecosystems are occurrences largely blamed on imbalances in the equilibrium of marine environments such as changes in ocean temperature, pollution, overfishing, unsustainable fishing practices, sedimentation, acidification, and oxidative stress.

Discovered in an underground lake under the Taylor glacier in Antarctica is an unusual ecosystem where bacteria managed to live for millions of years without oxygen and in complete darkness at 10 º C below zero. The sea water was trapped under the glacier to form a lake that is about four miles long by [...]

Solar energy, one of the most commonly used renewable and reliable source of energy always suffered from a drawback. The sun’s energy though available throughout the day, couldn’t be stored and used since all these years. But now, the researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) figured out a way to do so. You [...]

Fallen leaves are always considered as garbage in many households. We often end up burning them or dumping them in the compost to decompose. Venterra here has turned them into cutlery. These dishes made their debut at the most recent Natural Products Expo East and strolled away with the Best New Green/Environmentally-friendly Product Award.
