A simpler way to count cool roofs' climate payoff could reshape local carbon planning

A new study by Hashem Akbari, a professor in the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering, offers a simplified way of calculating the degree to which surface reflectivity, known as albedo, can offset carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. The method, which builds on previous research, makes it easier to calculate these effects at regional and national scales using widely available weather data.

Catching distant gamma-ray explosions with precisely aligned X-ray optics

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) rank among the most powerful explosions in the universe, releasing immense energy in intense flashes of gamma rays. The most distant GRBs originate from the era when the first stars and galaxies formed. Detecting them allows astronomers to probe the early universe and understand how the first heavy elements formed and how the earliest stellar populations lived and died. Missions like HiZ-GUNDAM, a satellite planned for launch in the 2030s by the Japan Aerospace Exploratio

Mushroom slime removes up to 98.4% of microplastics from water, researchers report

Microplastics and nanoplastics are tiny plastic particles that result from the breakdown of larger plastic products due to sunlight, waves, and other environmental conditions. In recent years, these particles have been increasingly detected in aquatic environments, raising concerns about their potential harmful effects on aquatic life and ecosystems. Even though awareness of this issue is growing, there is still no safe, practical, and established method to filter these particles from polluted w
