Scientists found an ocean microbe sugar that makes cancer cells explode via pyroptosis 💥🧬 A natural compound that kills tumors + boosts immunity—proof that nature holds powerful cures 🌊🌱

Cancer cells go up in flames—thanks to this deep-sea sugar Scientists have discovered a sugar compound from deep-sea bacteria that can destroy cancer cells in a dramatic way. This natural substance, produced by microbes living in the ocean, causes cancer cells to undergo a fiery form of cell death, essentially making them self-destruct. In lab tests and in....

Used EV batteries may hold far greater value than initially expected. The team aims to ensure components are given a second life, either as parts in batteries needing service and repair, or repurposed for energy storage systems with a lifespan of up to 15 additional years.

Dead EV batteries get 15-year life with recycling breakthrough Researchers have found a way to give used EV batteries a second life, extending their lifespan by up to 15 more years.

“The core of it is about care, and kindness, and connection, and compassion, and generosity,” Hawken said. “That’s where regeneration starts.”

Hawken, author of Carbon: The Book of Life, argues that the climate movement is thinking about its work, and messaging, all wrong.

As Germany prepares for a new government, climate experts are hopeful the country will continue to be a leader.

“A lot of the policies the new government will put forward might not come in the name of climate, but it will be for prosperity, innovation and competitiveness.”

Germany will likely continue its leadership on climate action. But expect a change in tone Germany has long been considered to have relatively ambitious climate goals and it’s likely that combatting climate change will remain a priority.

“This decision marks a monumental leap forward in climate litigation, placing some of the world’s largest fossil fuel companies on track to face trial for their role in deliberately misleading the public about climate change while suppressing clean energy alternatives.”

Landmark Climate Litigation Case Moves Closer To Discovery Climate litigation activity is heating up in the US as a lawsuit against coal and oil companies moves closer to the discovery stage

Indigenous and local community-centered solutions to deforestation are among the most effective and enduring strategies for mitigating climate change. Social innovators in these communities pioneered a new playbook for getting the world to take notice.

Introducing a pack of over 160 grey wolves would control the deer population and could lead to significant woodland regeneration, absorbing up to 1 million metric tonnes of CO2 annually. This would account for 5% of the UK's woodland carbon removal target.

Controversial Study Says Wolves Can Help Scotland Meet Climate Goals. Here's How Scotland's red deer population has skyrocketed to approximately 400,000, with no natural predators like grey wolves to control their numbers.

The refrigerators, named Koolboks and manufactured in Kenya, are fitted with ice compartments that can chill food even without a source of power. The devices can keep food cool for up to four days without electricity, even with limited sunlight.
