Saudi Arabia have introduced NESCOD, a new passive cooling technology. This innovative system addresses the rising global need for cooling solutions without depending on energy-consuming air conditioners. Mechanically, NESCOD leverages the thermodynamic properties of endothermic dissolution to offer an eco-friendly alternative for communities that are off the grid or in very hot areas. It captures solar energy and stores it for later use in cooling, marking a big step forward in environmental engineering. This system can eliminate specific cooling-related electricity costs and provides a scalable way to lessen the environmental damage caused by traditional cooling systems as our planet gets warmer. By optimising radiative heat transfer and material efficiency, NESCOD establishes a resilient framework for sustainable refrigeration. NESCOD's decentralised approach offers a transformative solution for food preservation and human comfort, bridging the gap between extreme climate challe...

In the journey of climate recovery and developing resilience towards restoring mother nature. The Bharat has it's first " Algae Tree ," a revolutionary carbon-capturing technology designed to combat air pollution, has been installed in Bhopal's Swami Vivekananda Park. The innovative, solar-powered unit has garnered significant attention for its ability to tackle environmental challenges in urban spaces. Developed by the Mushroom World Group after two years of research by a team of over 50 experts, the "Algae Tree" is not a traditional tree but a smart device that uses microalgae to purify the air. Features and Impact # A single algae tree unit is claimed to be as effective as 25 adult trees in absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. # The device can absorb approximately 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide annually and generate about 1 ton of oxygen. # The system can reduce PM 2.5 particles by 45–55% within a 15-meter radius. # The unit ...

Philosophy describes poetry as the intense distillation of emotion, a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings", and "the rhythmical creation of beauty". It is often viewed as a way to find truth, as a "search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown" and a "mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted". Art can't be described in words it's just felt with the warmth of emotions sometimes overwhelming with happiness or sourness of experiences. Poetry describes the emotions that are unsaid. Poetry does the miracles and "roars out of you". Poetry, often in its versatile style, is known for bringing clarity and vivid imagery to the reader's mind. Fine and refine goes with pace,  Emotion often lost and fades,, Creativity and senses still lasts, Words can do the miracles, Poetry gives wings of being practical,, Sometimes music rhymes with the situations and sometimes our emotions yet what persists is the lon...

Fungi are a very diverse groups of organisms encompassing a wide range of life forms, from single celled to very complex multicellular organisms. They can be microscopic or present large fruiting bodies with underground systems that extend for miles or even hectares. About 100,000 species have already been identified, but scientists estimate a vast number of species are yet to be cataloged, with the total number ranging from 0.8 to 3.8 million species. Some species can be detrimental to humans, animals and plants, such as mildews, canker, ringworm or thrush. However, due to its vast diversity, fungi occupy different niches in nature and are responsible for important ecosystem services, which benefit humans and the overall ecosystem. Benefits of fungi  Fungi are an important part of soil biodiversity, and this diverse group of organisms can help tackle global challenges, including climate change and hunger. Fungi are closely interlinked with vegetation and carbon and nutrient cyclin...

The world is currently caught between two compounding crises: the production of over 460 million tonnes of plastic waste each year and the urgent need to move away from fossil fuels. As millions of tonnes of debris pollute global ecosystems, the urgency of the climate mission has turned plastic from an environmental burden into a potential catalyst for the clean energy transition. Some recent studies suggest that plastic’s rich chemical makeup — loaded with carbon and hydrogen — makes it an ideal candidate for conversion into clean energy. “Plastic is often seen as a major environmental problem, but it also represents a significant opportunity. If we can efficiently convert waste plastics into clean fuels using sunlight, we can address pollution and energy challenges at the same time,”. Solar-powered plastic conversion Plastics are essentially long chains of carbon and hydrogen. Using specialized photocatalyst materials that wake up when hit by light, the team can snap those chains...

Traditional coal-fired power generation is typically associated with high pollution levels, significant carbon emissions, and relatively low efficiency. However, a new approach to coal-based electricity production is challenging the long-standing perception by removing combustion from the process altogether.  Instead of burning coal, the system converts its chemical energy directly into electricity, avoiding the release of carbon dioxide that normally defines its environmental impact. China developed what they describe as a zero-carbon-emission direct coal fuel cell (ZC-DCFC).  The concept effectively reframes coal as an electrochemical energy source rather than a fuel to be burned, potentially opening a new pathway for cleaner utilization of fossil resources. Coal fuel cell design removes need for steam cycle or combustion  Rather than being burned, coal in this system undergoes a multi-step preparation process before it is used for electricity generation. It is first pu...
