A new kind of paint might be the key to cooling homes in humid climes like Singapore. Researchers based in the island country found their custom white paint, specially developed to 'sweat,' significantly reduced the need for air conditioning.

While traditional fire cremations burn fossil fuels, known pollutants that can emit harmful substances like carbon monoxide, heavy metals, and particulates, water cremations offer a cheaper, greener alternative to end-of-life processes.

This week’s global NVIDIA GTC, GPU Technology Conference, included a discussion about using accelerated computing to drive climate action. Three startup companies have taken advantage of NVIDIA's AI and Earth-2 platform to do just that.

As global temperatures soar, the ability to adapt is vital for every species, including our own. Scientists are hoping that by putting one more sweaty body out on the street, we'll find new ways to combat potentially deadly heat-related health risks.

Looking to nature can provide inspiration, especially in construction. Researchers studied the complex internal structure of a termite mound in hopes that we can one day construct to a building that can regulate its own internal climate.

After sending a fleet of self-sailing drones into the path of Hurricane Sam to help improve forecast models, Saildrone has now launched three uncrewed surface vehicles into the Gulf Stream winter to gather data on carbon uptake in the ocean.

Though some folks chase storms for thrills or curiosity, there are also those who do so for scientific purposes. And it's the lattermost pursuit that will see a small fleet of unmanned surface vehicles deliberately head into hurricane territory.

Inspired by the ocean’s role as a natural carbon sink, researchers at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) and Georgia Tech have developed a new system that absorbs CO2 and produces electricity and useable hydrogen fuel.

Have you ever wished you could change the weather to be more like somewhere else in the world? Well, travelers at Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden can now experience just that. The airport's new Climate Portal simulates the weather from other locations in real time.

Big Ass Fans has added its SenseME technology to its Haiku ceiling fan, which includes Wi-Fi connectivity and sensors that enable it to regulate temperature and kick into action when someone enters the room.

EntroSys is an air conditioning and heating system for motorcycle riders.
