The Conversation UK — Environment · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Reflooding the Aral Sea could prevent massive CO₂ emissions About 90% of the Aral Sea has dried up. The exposed sediments have already released enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (748 megatons) since 1960. However, through restoration, the lake could once again become a carbon sink. This is shown by a study by the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes (CEAB-CSIC), published in Science, in which the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fish… Phys.org — Environment tag feed · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Why 78 degrees isn’t the right thermostat setting for everyone during a heat wave There is no single thermostat setting that is right for every person or every home. And there are other easy, low-cost steps that can help keep everyone comfortable when hot weather sets in.

The proton briefly shifts position, helps coordinate electron movement, and then returns to where it started. This quantum-driven shuttle could offer a powerful new way to tune solar cells, lasers, and catalytic reactions.

Who should pay when a product becomes waste—the company that made it or the public? That question sits at the center of extended producer responsibility (EPR), a policy strategy that shifts recycling costs onto manufacturers to reduce waste and promote more eco-friendly design. Used in more than 100 countries for packaging, electronics, mattresses and batteries, EPR is gaining traction in the U… Phys.org — Environment tag feed · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science FcRH5×CD3 bispecific antibody cevostamab in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma: a phase 1 trial - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science ICB CDT Chemical Biology Conference 2026 brings together leading researchers and industry experts - Imperial College London Imperial College London News · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science A versatile strategy for oligonucleotide functionalization via on-support phosphitylation - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Agglomerates of Silver Nanoparticles Stabilized by Hydrophobic Interaction - Springer Nature Link Circular Economy and Sustainability (Springer) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Closure of the Strait of Hormuz may trigger a bioinvasion super-spreader event | Biological Invasions - Springer Nature Link Circular Economy and Sustainability (Springer) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science People in the UK favour harsher punishment than Norwegians – belief in free will may help explain why What people believe about choice and responsibility shapes what they think prison is for.
