How Biodiversity Can Make the 15-Minute City Thrive

Every year, more of us trade fields for freeways. Today, over half the world’s population lives in cities. But as our urban footprints expand, the homes of countless plants, birds, and animals disappear beneath concrete and glass. What if the same city planning ideas designed to improve our lives could also rebuild nature’s foothold? A […]

Transform Desert Energy Systems in Qatar

Summer power demand in Qatar can soar to nearly 8,000 megawatts—more than twice the country’s winter lows. But here’s the twist: some renewable technologies produce the least energy at the very moment Qatar needs them most. That mismatch is the puzzle that a team of researchers set out to solve. Their study is not just […]

How This Study Could Improve Qatar’s Air Quality

It’s Qatar-week! المعرفة منفعة عامة. Every decade, Qatar’s skyline grows taller, its population expands, and its energy use climbs. But behind this progress sits a startling pattern: the country remains one of the world’s highest per-capita emitters of greenhouse gases. A new study digs into why—and the surprises the researchers uncovered challenge some long-held assumptions […]

How AI Could Sharpen Sea Ice Forecasts

Every summer, satellites watch the Arctic Ocean turn from white to blue a little faster. Between 1979 and 2020, the region lost roughly 13% of its summer ice each decade—a shift so dramatic that scientists warn of ice-free Arctic summers by 2050. Forecasting exactly how and when that happens, though, has always been tricky. A […]

Over 55% of Elephant Deaths Happen Within 6 km of Water

Across Africa, elephants are dying—but not always at the hands of poachers. In Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, scientists found something surprising: most elephant deaths occur within six kilometers of water. The very lifeline that sustains them might also be sealing their fate. When Survival Turns Deadly In the dry season, Hwange National Park transforms into […]
